Disassembling Time - By Victoria Blades

to purchase screen printing equipment. Mainly using the photo-emulsion technique, I was able to gain the most detail out of my prints. In 2007, I was experimenting with printing t-shirts and prints on paper. This was a labor of love and it was fun collaborating with local bands and friends to make shirts. This still continues today, but not as often. That's a whole other story! Studying how to make handmade prints, my graphic design (ex. Photoshop) was limited. It was mainly used for setting up my images to be laser printed onto transparency film. (This is part of the process for using the photo-emulsion technique.) So, I took it upon myself to learn the Adobe Suite on my own. Using Photoshop among other programs, I am able to produce artwork for online projects, CD case artwork, and using it as a tool to come up with ideas for painting. Yes, I paint as well. :p

Disassembling Time is one of my many projects that I started in March of 2012. I fell in love with taking apart watches and turning them into unique pieces of jewelry. Steampunk was my main inspiration, as you can see in my work. My items are not only for women, but men as well. I am still learning new techniques all the time and taking free courses to get the most out of my Etsy shop. If you are interested in my work, I would like to throw it out there that I do custom orders. If you have any ideas, please feel free and contact me on my Etsy page: www.etsy.com/shop/DisassemblingTime

Thanks for reading and keep the arts alive! :)
