Steampunk Gothic Arch

This is my handmade entry for the Gothic Arches Challenge this week where the theme is Steampunk. I used an antique Alchemical image (Dover) for the background and overlayed it with opaque vintage clock images. Face image is from (Stampington). I added hand cut metal hardware and trim. I overlayed the scanned arch on to copper paper and added some lead work from one of my stained glass windows in Photoshop for added detail.

  7. Not sure how I missed this post, but I think I'm in LOVE. Seampunk is a style I've wanted to play with for some time, since I'm such a metal addict. Your interpretation of it is truly beautiful. I just stared and stared at it, like it would somehow come to life on the screen.
