Framed Clockwork by Mr Ebersole
Mr Ebersole writes to tell me about this very clever and affordable little project he recently completed to get something Steampunk up on his wall. Working in a framing shop has its advantages, it seems, as he was able to source the frame cheaply and the mat board offcuts, retaining the scraps with the most interesting colours, textures and effects! The result, a wonderfully not-quite 3d effect of some very striking cogs and clockparts that would look lovely on a wall. There’s another shot of he picture on the DeviantArt site for it, and it does well to give that feeling of depth.
Bother – there’s a craft that involves multiple versions of an image and building it up in layers with separators, but I cannot recal the name! It reminds me of that, whatever it was called. Congratulations, Mr Ebersole – it’s a wonderful and very handsome piece!
