My last two illustrations using Finecrafted Designs - Full Steam Ahead collection of STEAM PUNK images!
This is a photo I took at Henderson Park one day last year...and below this, the beginning of an illustration which was in need of some 'atmosphere'

and a ladder and an assistant to show the children the proper direction
