2nd Spotlight for this month goes to .......

Dear Bloggers, it has been soooooooooo difficult to choose a second Spotlight. Since your are all so exceptionally talented and your work of art is just stunning. For the second Spotlight we wanted to concentrade on the 3D Project  (since the first Spotlight has been from the 2D Section) It was hard - and ... but finally .... we found this case sui generis  so unique, that we thouht this would be an excellent second Spotlight.

So the second Spotlight goes to Cindy



Wow isn´t it amazing? Watch out the details and the work in progress on Cindy´s Blog.
Congratulation Cindy!

There is still another week to go for your entries for this current Challenge - and of course to win the Goody have fun with and enjoy blending Fairytale with Steampunk :-)
Yours

Fairytales into our STEAMPUNK world - Challenge No. 2

After having such a wonderful time with YOU on the Cuckoos Clock goes Steampunk challenge we have started thinking of other things to blend Steampunk with and it came to me – why not incorporate another favourite topic,

FAIRYTALES, into our Steampunk world.

Imagine the tin man from The Wizard of Oz with a few more gauges and gadgets or Rumpelstiltskin in top hat and goggles or maybe Aladdin flying in an airship instead of on a magic carpet. This challenge is all about creating fairytale characters with a steampunk flair. Let your creative imagination run wild! We can´t wait to see what you show us this time.

We offer two separate inlinkz-collections for 2D and 3D/altered objects each. So the monthly Top3 will be chosen twice and the problem of the two categories not being comparable may be solved that way too - besides creating a much larger field for creativity.

To continue our challenge blog, we managed to invite an extraordinary talented male stamper and crafter to do us the honour being our Special Guest Designer for April:

a warm welcome to MARK PERRY  from UK.

Follow his blog if you like to get a firework of inspiration -  he is just such an amazing artist..

Watch out what he has created for our Challenge! WOW! Thank you Mark!

About MARK:

Hi my name is Mark A.K.A The Male Crafter. I started crafting just over a year ago, although I have done arty kind of things for a while but never the amount of things I do now, thanks to AJ my partner ... now I cant get enough of it.
I love to alter things and grunge things up ( love Tim Holtz ) and like to design things anything...I came across Steam Punk a couple of years ago when I went to the Goth weekend in Whitby UK and these guys were walking around in some fantastic outfits, so I checked online and was surprised what I found ... all you needed was an imagination and some cogs n bits n bobs ...
I sell my crafts either at work to colleagues or if anybody contacts me, I have mainly sold my meander books and a shop in my town has 10 at a time sells them and asks me for a new order so keeps me busy... And now been asked to be a guest designer for these Cool guys WOW Big honour for me, but out of everything I do I hope it inspires others to try Crafting and to enjoy what they create ...

Here are the DT makes:
