The February challenge encouraged you to enter with a Steampunk theme. Claire from Powertex UK wrote a poem to inspire you and Powertex tutors had plenty of ideas to get you crafting.
There are over 70 photos in The Powertex Studio for the Monthly Challenge and you can see all the entries, including some from Powertex tutors, in the February album.
“Wise old owl; his lucks come in
Claire Ivins
Lucky sixpence gets him a win!
Steampunk funk the cogs just spin
My heart is black but full within”
The winner of the prize from Powertex UK this month is Jenny Shepherd with her fabulous mixed media art. Jenny has layered lots of details and mixed media embellishments in her art while following the theme.
The entries ranged from glorious hats to fabulous mixed media art. Here’s the entries from Powertex Addicts.
Animal projects
Animals are always a popular make and these entries from Alison and Chris are amazing!
Top Hats
These hats from Michael and Rita are brilliant ideas for the challenge.
Great clock creations
Clocks are a popular choice for a steampunk theme, like these from Sarah, Kelly and Trinity, who added hers to a hat! Clock parts are a great way to put a steampunk twist on your mixed media creations.
Mixed media
These mixed media art pieces are by Julia, Sue, Audrey and a great piece posted by David for his wife. These creations have some fabulous details using cogs and gears and metal textures. These are brilliant examples of mixed media layering.
Thank you so much for all your entries and congratulations to Jenny for her winning Powertex art. The next challenge will be posted on Facebook on the 5th March. We hope you’ll join us. Remember there’s a prize for a UK entry. You can find all the in The Powertex Studio Announcements and here in the magazine.
