Steampunk Guardian

Steampunk guardian

Hi everyone,

Today I’m sharing a project that I started during a live stream on my YouTube channel. It was a bit too big a project for one hour, so I finished it afterwards and made a ‘part 2’ video. You can find them both bellow:

 
Join me and this amazing crew of artists on a making adventure! You can expect paints, pastes, papers and banter, you never know what we're gonna make (neith...
 
 
 

The base of this project is a bottle of a liqueur called Frangelico, which is designed to look like a monk’s robe. I’ve had the bottle for a while, planning on altering it, but I wasn’t sure what to do with it… Until I got the Lady Vagabond Fly Machine soft mold, the wings were a perfect fit! I decided to add a gear ‘halo’ and my steampunk guardian was born :)

You can see the making process in the videos, so I won’t go into into it here, but feel free to ask anything! You can see more of the details in the photos bellow, and under them you’ll find a material list.

Hope you enjoyed this project, I’m really happy with how it came out. I specifically like that the ‘head’ can turn and follow you with one shiny eye…

(trust me to make a creepy angel robot… hahaha!)
