Follow your dreams - mixed media panel

Hey Friends,

I love steampunk style mixed media . Its raw, grungy and very very manly. so today I present to u a beautiful panel with fresh colors not the usual browns which we mostly use for the steampunk.

For this panel I used hardboard n started adhering laces for textures. I love this broad lace and also the lovely texture it gave. I used this one as it didn't have any flowers or flourishes..... then i started arranging steampunk gears, some nails, screws, nut bolts, which added more to the steampunk style.  Then started adding browns for the edges going to greens to yellow in shades. I absolutely love the way it has turned out though I spent hours coloring it till I was satisfied. Added the sentiment follow your dreams as without sentiment I felt something is missing.
