Steampunk Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to this fab Steampunk Blog Hop. My creation is this steampunk machine made using a combination of new and recycled parts. I had a lot of fun making this! The rules for the hop and other participants are below.


I have upcycled an old mushroom container and old air compressor pump and some cardboard alongside using mdf cogs, corrugated pipe, die cuts, and embellishments made from UT embossing powder, filler and clay.
