CHUNKY ATC FOR VIC!

As you know, I signed up for another chunky atc swap on the Wendy Vecchi online group. My partner is Vic and after asking her, I find out her favorite colors are aqua/teal and purple. She told me she would love something steampunk so I set out to make her something she would like. I started with a gessoed piece of wood and painted it in the two colors she wanted with the Lumier paints which look so gorgeous on wood. I also put some of the Ranger clear distress crackle paint on some of the atc.

This is one of my many "favorite" art parts but I think it's perfect for steampunk.

I have three sides done so far. The front has the art part with some stones, gears and steampunk images in the background.

The back side has the ruler-shelf I love so much. It has some wonderful chains, a charlotte head, a brass rose, a brass sign that says "kiss" and a mini bottle with some beautiful teal colored micro beads.

One of the sides has a faucet painted with the ranger patina paints, a really pretty brass chain is hanging on the faucet and I have hung some cute charms on it.

The top of the chunk is almost done. I put some really cool gears on the top and some micro-beads. It still needs "something" but I'm not quite sure what.

So now I have this one side left.

So what do you think?????

  13. I've never heard of a chunky ATC. Are there "rules" for the size? I'm intrigued. You created a wonderful art piece and Vic is a lucky recipient. Thanks for sharing.
