Dragon's Dream TIO # 106 - The Da Vinci Code - Homage to the Great Man

I bought a book "The Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci" by Charles Gibbs-Smith at my local charity shop with the intentions of altering it. I have got as far as reducing the number of pages, which of course I kept and one of them is my background here. The Man was very fond of pully and geared systems and flight so they are the theme of my tag. The stamp is by Andy Skinner and was stamped with Versifine sepia on card, cut out and attached to the tag . It was distressed with DI Weathered Wood, as was the main body of the tag. Thank you for stopping by to look, all your comments are much appreciated.

    This is superb! Lovely tag and so innovative. Those 'not required' pages far too precious to discard! Very steampunk feel and I guess he fitted into that category perfectly.

    Fabulous. Great selection of stamps. As Janet says, he was of the steam punk genre. Thanks for joining in this week on the TIO challenge.

    I always think of da Vinci as one of the founders of Steampunk.... so many of his drawings have that steampunk look to them.....thank you so much for making this gorgeous tag for my choice of challenge at T.I.O.
