I got this very nifty book for Christmas called Steampunkery....well here is the result of my first attempt at making a steam-punk chameleon fairy lizard guy. I like it! This little guy is a birthday gift for a friend. Polymer clay, gears, glazes, and mica powder, topped with a cool propeller hat.

Geisha faux postage ATC

Geisha faux postage Originally uploaded by saunjune I made most of this card sometime ago.  It is the second card I am sending Jennifer!  The background was made by inking the inside of a plastic folder, a few drips from 2 - 3 different colors, then squishing a glossy sheet of paper between the inked up folder.  I will try to make a tutorial to explain that better.  (I just have to find some time first...lol).  It was then stamped w/ Staz-on ink in black, I think I used a Hero Arts stamp, but I could be wrong.  And I really don't want to dig through my cache of rubber stamps right now to find out.  :)  I stamped over the geisha image with postal themed stamps, then mounted the image to some fancy hand screened, yummy, fiber-y paper.  Tah-da!

I had tried to cut through this material using the original blade housing and lots of multi-cutting, but with no success. The deep cut did make it through , but it took some learning. The blade housing has 11 depth settings rather than the usual 6. The numbers still say 1 - 6, but you can set it half way between the numbers also. Which means I had to figure out new pressure/blade depth settings. (I feel like I just finally got a handle on the old settings, LOL) I wish I could say it just sliced through like butter on the first try, but it didn't. My first cut came out terrible, I set the pressure at maximum and the blade depth at 6, and the machine stuttered, and...
