SPA Challenge - Steampunk


The image (from e-Vint) was originally black and white.  I have overpainted the head and shoulders and given her a new hairstyle (and hat). Her skirt is made from a hot hair balloon and her breastplates from steam gauges.  Other elements by Maya at Scrapbook Graphics and Lauren Bavin at Digital Scrapbook Place.
