Hi everyone! It has been minute since my last steampunk inspired mixed media art. What inspired me to do this masculine and number themed project were the colors that I’ve used together. I know, that might seem kind of weird, right? I didn’t want to make another delicate project (again! no offense to the other projects related to flowers and stuff), instead I wanted to bring a little bit of masculinity into this mixed media art.
A lot of times the color pale blue or pastel blue can be related to intricate projects right? Exhibit A, https://www.pinterest.ca/clyniscreations/other-artists-inspirational-works/hues-of-grays-white-baby-blue-mixed-media-scrapboo/, were some of the stunning works that I saved in my pinterest board. It was time to make a project a little tougher, hence this project. Although, I would probably add more black or dark brown in the future.
