    Covered it with Gesso as a base, then added cogs cut from foam core and card stock which I also pained with Gesso as well as adding the stencil work using a Tim Holtz stencil.

    The final touch was adding black as a shadow under each cog. There are also some idea-ology items from Tim Holtz's line.
