Steampunk Hat Gift Box

Happy Monday everyone, today I have a project inspired by Art Anthology's mood board for September.
I decided to make a gift box to hold a present for a friend that loves steampunk. I started by altering a papermache box and lid for the top of the hat. 
Art Anthology paints were added to 3D Texture Fade Mechanicals to start the foundation of the hat box. Hot glue was added around the brim and seams of the hat to mimic rivets. 
Art Anthology's Coloration Sprays were used to color the flowers then steampunk metal embellishments as well as feathers were added to finish off the project. 
This was a very easy project and hope you enjoyed. For your pleasure I have included a YOUTUBE video of my creative process. Thank you for stopping by and have a beautiful day !

Entering this project in the following wonderful challenges; 
Crop Stop #43-3DTexture Fade Mechanicals and Prima Finnabair Mechanicals
Creative Artiste #42-Anything Mixed Media Goes 
Art Playground  Oh Blessed Mistake
