In the Facebook group I belong to, Reclaimologists and Other Craft Chics, we received a request to make a Steampunk ValentinesWreath ... I have always thought that the wire wreath frames looked sort of steampunkie when naked, so I set off to make one.
Of course I dived into my piles of cool metal stuff, and came up with a 'love plaque' that I quite liked. Then I found some loose elements and wanted a bit of a charm bracelet look, and made up the top embellishment.
This is the result, though I must admit I thought it looked a little bare. The customer thought so too, and asked that I fill it in with deco mesh ... I had seen the stuff, but didn't know the name of it.
Shannon, our prime Reclaimologist, told me where to buy it, and I checked out a couple of tutorials on line, and voila!
