I have been having a ball on the Design Team for Altered Pages.  I am learning so much.  The artwork is the easy part, the computer part, not so much, but I am learning as I am going.  Everyone is so nice and helpful, and PATIENT!
Keep your eyes out for my next project on my blog and while you are here, follow me too
Thanks!!

STEAMPUNK ATB

Hello, Francine here! I finished my Eileen Hull ATB and here it is for you to enjoy ~


I adhered the Altered Pages collage sheets to all sides of the box. On the ATB top is a Farthy, which is a Steampunk unicycle! Farthy's were developed in the 1880's and were named after the penny farthing coin (just a bit of trivia).  


Sitting on the Farthy is a ballerina poodle with butterfly wings. The poodle actually TURNS! You can see the Poodle from all sides of the box . The spoke of the bike has a key that TURNS with glitter surrounding the mechanism.


Above please notice a friendly giraffe who has been framed!  The lovely lady has a crown with a feather and flower that match her dress.  For the overall, Steampunk gears were added for lots of dimension. 

I had a lot of fun making this ATB and look forward to my next project as a Design Team Member for Altered Pages! 
Developed and used in the 1880s, these vehicles were the first to be called bicycles and were characterized by a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel (in this case, it's flipped). Their amusing nickname comes from the old British penny and farthing coins, with the former being much larger than the latter, so that if put side by side, the penny leading a farthing would resemble one of the new bicycles. - See more at: http://1800recycling.com/2011/07/recycling-steampunk-bicycles/#sthash.fRQhUA4S.dpuf
