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 Angel

Working on "Steampunk Angelus" 
has been a delight, from the get go!
He stands just over 18 inches high,
and has a removeable tin funnel hat
and those silly wire rim glasses!
His head and hands are paperclay,
his body is cotton canvas (10 oz.)
covered with vintage photo-transfers
of steampunk gears and machinery...

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!

Another Peek at Steampunk Angelus!

Steampunk Angelus is almost finished!  
He needs to have his wings 
and arms attached...
and a few clock gears and springs added. 
I posted a few more pics at Cloth and Clay Dolls 
and Odd-Dolls on my pages there. 
Wow.... it's warm in Woodstown; 
reaching 98 today!  Whew... Daryle

"Steampunk Angelus"

I look at his big teeth, and just smile! 
Steampunk Angel has some arms 
in the works and a pair of wings as well!  
Perhaps later this evening 
I will find the time to give him a couple coats 
of face color and glazing!  
One can only hope...  Daryle

A Steampunk Angel!

"Steampunk Angelus"... a WIP!

He needs a face job, some arms, and a pair of wings!  What to use for his wings, that troubles me a bit.  He is 19" tall, standing on a wooden base.  I will probably give the base a checkerboard or pok-a-dot finish. I have some other springs and brass gears that I would like to see on him...somewhere!
I guess that's why he is a work in progress...  Blessings to you and yours, in the middle of this week! Daryle
