MIXED MEDIA / STEAMPUNK ASSEMBLAGE
This piece I call, "Quest for the Key to Unlock the Mysteries of Area 51" super fun one to make. It is a little bit Steampunk and Mixed Media. Just trying to figure out how to put it together so it is sturdy was a project in itself, it is quite heavy as the coffee can is filled with aquarium gravel. I have been starting to collect a stash of stuff to use in these type of projects. I tell my husband....oohh you can't throw that out I can use it in a mixed media! so now he is afraid to get rid of anything without asking me first. I like it when the materials are rusty and show years of wear...adds to its character and patina. I will try to keep the "junk collecting under control though.

Thank you for sharing.
I really like this piece!
Thank you, this is one of my first and favorite assemblage pieces. It will inspire me to do more of them and I have been collecting a lot of materials to work with.
