Steampunk Googles!

Would you like your very own Steampunk Goggles?

These invaluable accessories are the height of Steampunk Fashion and make quite the Neo Victorian sartorial statement. But wait - that’s not all! These darned splendid goggles also come in handy for preventing bluebottles and other flying beasties from colliding with your orbs when you are out, gadding about and traversing the skies.

If you have not seen the above moving picture which shows you exactly how to craft your very own goggles then hot-foot it over there now.
No Steampunk should be without goggles!

Steampunk Duel

I thought I would post this excellent animation for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

The film is called "A Gentlemen's Duel" and has quite a few Steampunk elements.

I'm always in favour of settling differences with a good old fashioned duel. The last one I went to involved a fleet of feral pigeons and a modified weasel. You can imagine the horror...

What the Dickens?

This could be interesting, a Christmas Carol with Steampunk Art and Neo Victorian leanings. This Ipad app is made by the same people who created the recent Halloween "Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition app"

Readers will not only witness Ebenezer Scrooge’s heart-warming transformation through 130 pages of lovingly abridged text, but for the first time they will become part of the story through revolutionary interaction. Turn the key in Scrooge’s door and watch as the door knocker changes into the deceased Jacob Marley, or try your hand at cleaning pages of the grime of industrial-era London.

Steampunk Ring or work of art?

A Steampunk Ring or work of art? You decide (but if it’s not a work of art please don’t comment…).

I have been busy tucked away in my lair creating all manner of new pieces, amongst which a new piece from my  Quintessential (no hyperbole here!) Steampunk Rings.

The piece is fashioned with Deep Siam Red Swarovski Crystals and measures 19mm by 13mm! If you have giant fingers or withered digits then let me know – I cater for everybody (barring gadabouts and wastrels).

To see more, take a moment to set down your Airship or balloon outside my emporium; London Particulars.

Untitled

 

If your stuck for inspiration to buy that special, Steampunk dandy and adventurer in your life, then feast your eyes on this stunning pair of Steampunk Cufflinks!

The cufflinks have been fashioned by London Particulars from a pair of perfectly matched oval vintage Elgin Fifteen Ruby Jeweled Watch Movements.

I almost swooned when I see these sparkling lovelies and have since found a seat and taken a steady measure of brandy.

To see more Steampunk Jewelry then zip over to London Particulars right away!

Ninja, Cowboys with a touch of Steampunk...

This looks like a really cool and unusual film! 

There are several interesting elements, the fusion of oriental Warrior meeting a dastardly looking posse of cowboys, with a hint of Steampunk.
Of course, it might be utter balderdash and tommyrot, but the trailer looks promising (if you like the idea of ninjas versus cowboys)...

Steampunk Halloween

This is my latest video which is designed to show off my new works and also give the viewer the collywobbles.
Marvel at these dark gothic pieces, swoon at the horror, the bat, the eye!

A Steampunk Monarch Butterfly Necklace

 

I've been making a lot of new Steampunk Jewelry pieces in the run up to the holidays and plan to share all of my latest pieces.

The featured item is a beautiful Steampunk Butterfly Necklace, featuring the aptly named Monarch Vintage Watch Movement, set upon an intricate Victorian styled finding. The Vintage Ruby Jeweled Watch Movement measures 18mm x15mm and you can discover more about this one-off piece by visiting my Etsy Shop.

Steampunk Music with a Blackbird Orchestra

What is Steampunk music? The Sepiachord Passport – steampunk music review

"Steampunk as a musical genre has as many variations as it does in film and literary styles. Vaudeville, cabaret, waltz are common as well as brass and acoustic instruments – but this is hardly a definition of the style. Often the lyrics take on a macabre, darkly humorous or grim storyline – to the swell of an accordion or waltz tempo."

A new article on Overbury Ink concerning a rather spiffing sounding Steampunk Musical compilation including a track by the wonderfully named "Blackbird Orchestra"!
