Happy 4th Birthday to eclectic Paperie!
Chunky tags and ATCs? Why, they're all the rage! These pre-cut pieces of solid wood offer an easy and ridiculously fun way to take your altered art into the 3D realm. Daisy of eclectic Paperie sent the E-Team both the Tag- and the ATC-size, and since I couldn't decide which one to use for my own project, I decided to find a way to use them both...
Introducing: The LOVEBOT 3000!
"The Futuristic Face of Valentine's Day"
The Lovebot 3000 was lightly sanded, then painted with an Adirondack Metallic Silver Paint Dabber. He features antennae made from Maya Road Heart-Shaped Trinket Pins. His Valentine is a Jenni Bowlin Mini Bingo Card, his eyes are Maya Road Wood Bingo Motifs, his nose is a little Tim Holtz Idea-ology Washer, and his neck is a Tim Holtz Curio Knob. All the little hearts he wears are made from Grungeboard, embossed with the Gridlock Texture Fade embossing folder, painted with Adirondack Red Papper Paint Dabber, and smudged with Black Soot Distress Ink. His hands are charms from my box of stash, and his feet are oversized bottle caps. The Lovebot 3000 comes equipped with his own little motherboard (a part from a broken down computer). The antique key to his heart is included.
The Lovebot is geared up with Idea-ology Sprockets and Tiny Fasteners.
Finally, you'll never forget his name, as the Lovebot includes copper letters cut using Tim Holtz's Vintage Market Strip Die.
