"I keep them to sell," the Hatter added as an explanation;
"I've none of my own. I'm a hatter.”― Lewis Carroll,
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland &Through the Looking-Glass.
I created two 12"x 12" pages using photos of the Steampunk Hat that I made.

I painted the chipboard and letters black and then when they were dry, I added gold acrylic paint with a fan brush.

Background made with mists, stencils, stamps and ink.
Hint: I pour my mists over in smaller mister bottles and dilute them with Alcohol. I attach the small misters to the bottles with elastics. Caution: When working with alcohol, make sure you are in a well ventilated area.
