Steampunk Mixed Media "Just One Life" Step by Step how to make this artwork on a mini canvas

In the second of the series I show how I created this artwork and in the process demonstrate a number of techniques of decoupage, using backing paper, distress effects, hot glue, metallic wax , acrylic ink and more.This time I have narrated the video which I hope gives a more entertaining process.Strangely the theme evolved and became about life / death and renewal .
You will find I used a lot of symbology in the picture and mostly this came about by accident but made sense all together.I hope you found the processes useful and if you haven't already please like and subscribe to help me grow the channel and reach a bigger audience.
Please feel free to comment and in the meantime I will be considering what the next picture will be.....

The whole process was FASCINATING! A question about the eye that did not make it into the piece, where did you get those or how did you make those? Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. Kerry.

The eye I got from amazon I think I stuck this on a metal piece .You can buy these cabochons also on ebay and they are in many sizes www.amazon.co.uk/Julie-Wang-Wholesale-Assorted-Cabochons/dp/B01N8VPELN/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1RP7LQE4CNTTL&keywords=cabochons%2Beyes&qid=1698468881&sprefix=cabochons%2Beyes%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-6&th=1
