  Step 1

  First, I gave my canvas a Coffee wash to make it less stark, and appear more aged.

  In the corner, I drew a small chess board.

  Then, using a mix of red and brown acrylic paints, I covered the canvas in a chevron pattern with masking tape, and sponged paint over it.

  I then covered some of the overlap with a mix of tan and white acrylic to match the coffee stained coloring.

  Step 2

  I found some illustrations online, and cut them out. I also found a clock-face and glued it to a CD. Later, I created a "pocket watch" from cardstock.

• 

  Step 3

  I took the colorless illustrations, and filled them in using water colors.

• 

  Step 4

  The canvas would be too impersonal as just a collage, so I drew a large illustration of the Caterpillar to cut out, and add to the middle.

  Step 5

  Here, I am beginning to place my collage, and began gluing them in place with modpodge.

• 

  Step 6

  Here, I've taken book pages that were salvaged from another project, and created roses (the book was actually Harry Potter). I've also glued down more items, including flat marbles, and a playing card.

• 

  Step 7

  Adding more detail, the roses have been "painted" red by playing-card guards (made with actual playing cards, scrap paper, and sharpie), and quotes have been added to various places in sharpie.

  I then went back over everything, including the quotes, with mod podge to reinforce, and began working on the clock mechanism.

  Step 8

  Final product, hanging proudly in my Kitchen.

  Hope you enjoyed seeing the progress!
