Rockin' Rodent - 31 Days of Halloween Day 13

Merry met mist walkers.  My 31 Days of Halloween offering tonight is, at first glance, a little bit cute, but wait!!
Flying rodents!!!
It makes me shiver to think of it.
Even if they are cute rodents!!!!
Meet Spiffy. 




I started by cutting a piece of copper card with a stitched circle die.  Then I cut a piece of bronze card with a Spellbinders Cog die.  I embossed it with Do-Crafts Triboss Cogs embossing folder.  I love this bronze card, cos it has a black core!!!  Sandpaper for amazingly cool effects. 


I stamped Spiffy with black archival and coloured with distress inks and Promarkers.  I started adding the Korthobby.no metal charms, the cog with the flower (they are separate pieces) bottom right, the clock hands just above the right wing, and then I had one of those moments.........   Lets make him rock!!!  So I cut a 15 x 10cm base card with the circle die, which puts the card hinge about 3/4's of the way up the front panel, making for a nice steady rocker.


Here he is mid-roll........   I had to do a bit of trial and error with the final metal charm, the open clock top left.  I used a bit of folded low tack tape to figure out where it needed to be for counterbalance.  I added a piece of grey card stamped with a cog behind the clock for a nice shadow effect.   I think this is the best rocker I have made.  He really rolls beautifully.
Go Spiffy, GO!!!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

    Spiffy is a bit frightening..mice are scary enough on the ground! Each bit of steampunk that accompanies him is great!
