Cardinals Abound
Did I mention that I love to create cloth figures with steampunk? Well this time I started with a design by "Frowning Francis". I used cloth for the cardinal body and the wings are made of foam board. The legs are wired and I added polymer clay for the beak and claws to make them stronger. I then went to town on the steampunk additions (industrial revolution, science fiction fantasy and victorian fashion touches). I titled this piece, "Time Flies at Cardinal Speed":
I made the base by adding "Tim Holtz" fabric scraps and time pieces to a hardwood plank. I had a lot of fun using upholstery tacks, wooden and metal gears, fabric tape measures, keys and watch faces:
As the cardinal tells us, "Encourage your hopes, not your fears"!
