Steampunk Angel... reporting for duty Lord!

He looks ready for

 his next assignment!

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, 

for by this some have entertained angels 

without knowing it." (NASB)

Steampunk's Tummy!

My "Steampunk Angelus" is finally finished!  

I added the clockworks and other small 

brass gears using rusty wire.

The upper arms are small, wood

craft finials that have been distressed.

The sleeves are photo-transfer images

of vintage gears and machines.  

His belt is a small leather dog collar... Ha! 

Steampunk Angel... Up Close and Personal!

This work in progress still needs a face!  I found some great old hardware on our recent jaunt to Lancaster County.  The glasses are made with rusted hardware and wire.  His hat (I will add a brass gear to it later) is an old tin funnel.

Sculpting Angelus' mouth was a whole different story!  Ugh!  I wanted some significant teeth in this guys smile; well he has them... this was my fourth attempt!  Tsk! Tsk!

A Peek at Punk: "Steampunk Angelus"

I'm fascinated by the "steampunk movement"... and decided to begin working on a steampunk angel.  I photo-transferred some great vintage engravings of gears and machines onto cotton canvas... then coffee-stained it.  I found the images in Heck's Pictorial Archive of Nature and Science.  This is a copyright free publication by Dover Books. I added some clockwork gears and an old leather strap.
