The Gramophone itself starts with 2 handmade boxes cut from matboard standing on Tim Holtz Foundations & is covered in Graphic 45 papers. The old record is actually a painted CD covered with a vintage record label. The horn is a rolled piece of cardstock trimmed with Spellbinders Ironwork trim. Getting the trim out of the dies is a bit challenging but the dies are very intricate and really do look like antique ironwork. The record needle is a Tim Holtz Pen Nib glued in a thread spool.
A mini-album hides in the top small box and pulls out with one of Tim's Drawer Pulls. Each page of the mini-album has a flap resembling an old record, a side pocket, & a top pocket. The Tags inside each pocket also resemble old records. Check it out!
Such a clever idea, and you executed it wonderfully! So adorable and I'm sure it will be a real conversation piece. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having a look at my new blog. I'm so excited because you are the first one to leave a comment! Thanks so much. Talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun!!! Love it!! Reminds me of all the old 78s I have that were my grandparents...although those are only in paper sleeves.
ReplyDeleteI remember that half the fun of getting a new 33 record album was when they came in wonderful fun album jackets, with flaps, pockets and pull outs!
Thanks for sharing!
I purchased an Old 78 Record Album Case at a Vintage Yard Sale. This is what inspired my mini-album. It was so amazing that I wanted to recreate it.
DeleteThat is so clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking it out!
DeleteIs there a tutorial to this very unusual unique album? Awesome
ReplyDeleteI taught this Gramaphone class last summer and have written instructions only. The cone needed a visual demonstration for the ladies to be able to make it. Written words sometimes just are not that clear on such a 3D project. Thanks for checking it out!
