Good Morning Friends,

I was inspired by a teacher on this one, any teacher will do.  Let me ask you this if you are or were a teacher

DID YOU EVER GET AN APPLE FROM A STUDENT?

I'm curious, where does the term  "An apple for the teacher" come from?
I say give the teacher a pear
The title of my piece is " A pear for the teacher

So I decided to do a tag instead of a card, my tag is PTI Kraft. A Sizzix large tag die.  The black Satin Ribbon is offray.  My pear is clay I stained it with wood stain first and let it dry overnight, then I came back in with acrylic paints and did the finished painting. I used a safari staple to staple the gold thread holding the camera ( the camera was one of the charms that My BFF gave me for Christmas last year. The gears are sizzix TH.
The the blUe and the black paper are Core'dinations I sanded them down to get this really cool effect.
The burlap is left over from my art exhibit in January (I have a lot of that left).  The little stamped time pieces are from Stampendous, I used black chalbox ink.

I hope you like my attempt at getting steampunky or grundgy,
