Taking shape-changing ideas and altered directions

While I am working on my Iron Angels, many pictures as well as ideas come in to my head and then the designs expand from there. I am having a great deal of fun playing in this steampunky place! I also think that this play will in turn reflect back on my angels when I make another one of those.

To me this is like doodling or journaling, but not writing or drawing the images, but actually making them.

I used to think I wasn't doing it right if I made things this way. Now I realize that it just might be the way ideas develop for me.

The only thing really wrong with it is that you end up with tons of pieces. 

This is one of the brooches that came from that play!

Here are the angels.

Iron Angel #4

This is my favorite Angel so far

Iron Angel 3

This is my 3rd Iron angel but she was done 2nd! They are so confused.

And I found a piece that I did between 1999-2001. I loved this piece, but I antiqued it with Ne-Opaque Black recently and I now love it even more. It even has Friendly Plastic in it!

I didn't know this was called Steampunk then. I think it fits real well in that category.

Also I think this is so worth reading. It is from one of my favorite people, Mother Moon http://mothermoonsmessage.blogspot.com/ . The wonderful words and wisdom is titled "Positive Attitude"

The small piece here is just the beginning.

"There is always something positive in any situation. Sometimes it is hard to see the silver lining that may be so faint that the darkness of the clouds that it encircles keeps you from focusing on it. Yet still it is present. Sometimes it is not immediate that you are blessed with the goodness of a situation. Sometimes it can take time… Sometime it can take years….. Sometimes you may never see it… yet it is still present. Sometimes the gain is not necessarily for you, yet for another. Who through your trial and manner in which you handle and work through it, are inspired in an area of their lives to do likewise."

On that brilliant note, onward and upward my pretties!!

Soar!

Iron Angel 2

Iron Angel #2

Another angel from the Iron Angel Series.

This is the first one I made and I like her very much!

You know that feeling you get when you make something and you could care less whether anyone else likes it or not and then possession (I mean obsession) sets in?

She is more monochromatic in color.

This is what got me making more of them.

I am using the antique gold, glamour black and silver Cernit here.
