Steampunk Animals





I have created two new creatures to add to my ever growing, ever evolving steampunk designer collection. Initially the collection was expressly a winter collection for 2009 available thought my website and selected stockist but it now seemed to have taken on a life of it's own. As i've found new and interesting ways to work with my vintage brass stamping collection i've fused these with my collection of vintage watch parts and movements and now have a collection of interesting little creatures the latest of which are these cute owls and butterflies.

They can be purchased from my Etsy store or my website by the end of this week. And below are a few other design from steampunk menagerie.

Steampunk Collection





So what is Steampunk Style??

Think H.G Well and Jules Verne's speculative history; think of international air travel in Hot Air Balloons and steam powered gadgets. Steampunk represent an alternative form of history, a technological pathway not taken. First appearing in the 1980’s and early 90’s and draws its roots from the Victorian & Edwardian era during the steam powered industrial revolution.

My lasted collection of jewellery draws on the industrial elements of the movement with Neo-Victorian influences.Pictured are my Neo-Victorian Cuff Bangle, Tree of Life Necklace and my Swallow & Gears Earrings
