Get in Gear

Among my most favorite die sets from Spellbinders are Cogs and Sprightly Sprockets. I have used the dies in these sets in many of my art pieces, often matched up with Standard Circles Small and Large. 

As with most of the products from Spellbinders, I integrate them as one of many supplies I use in my mixed media art. I often use metal and/or foil with these dies and they pair up perfectly with my stash of hardware that I get from one of my favorite places to visit: the hardware store. 

These particular dies have become a big part of my Gears series.

My first piece in this series was actually the first artwork I made as part of the Spellbinders Blog Team.

I am happy to share that the second piece in this series was just published in the Winter 2014 issue of Scrapbooking & Beyond.

My most recent piece in this series was a large triptych. I was lucky enough to receive the following picture from the person who purchased the work. It is rare that I get a chance to see my art hanging in its home so I was extra pleased to see this.

And now after putting this post together, I am gearing up to make the next piece in the series! Until then, you can see all my Spellbinders' tutorials at this link.
