Steampunk Mixed Media Canvas

My daughter wanted a canvas and I told her she needed to help me with it.  Her ideas are aviator, editor, a little country, a touch of elegance and steam punk came to my mind.

She came up with the papers and I drew the girl according to how she wanted her to lean.

Then Tim Holtz's things are all over this canvas.  She went to work today and hasn't seen it finished yet!  We had fun collaborating together.

Here is the canvas, I know alot of stuff on it!!  It has all the things my daughter is passionate about.  Coffee stain, typewriter and The Journal represents her desires to publish books.  The bird is her urge to explore and travel.  The door is the mystery of the books she writes.  The gears are her creativity working and her love of metal and being different.

 A closeup of the girl, she is hard to figure out but it is more 1800's style tight with a poof of lace and her foot is up on a wall (can't hardly see it) and it ruffles the dress.  She is wearing boots with clocks on them.  She has a bustier on and is in a laid back position, very relaxed.

Here is a close up of the top

Here is a close up of the bottom.  The 2 sentiments are "Life Loves the Passionate" and In Everything, Love.  This is how I feel about who my daughter is.

Thank you for stopping by my blog, I am having fun with canvases lately, I have a really pretty one coming soon!!

Have a great week!!
