Valentine's Day Steampunk

Romantic dreams paperweight

Gadgets and gizmos paperweight



I spent my Valentine's Day doing my favorite thing. I just wanted to share what I made. One thing I love is that there is never any total mistakes. 

On the bottom paperweight I used the inside electronics from a singing card. I stripped the wire and glued it down. That caused the slate to take on a glossy look in that area. So when I had everything glued down, I took a toothpick and spread glue on the whole surface so it was glossy all over. Of course I did manage to glue the toothpick to my hand and the smell was so strong I had to open the window but it looked cool! And besides, gluing my fingers together is a pretty common occurrence while I'm making things.
