We don't have cable or satellite at our house, but we do have great channels like MeTv and RTV and This. They carry the great old shows like the Rifleman, the Dick Van Dyke Show, and the Brady Bunch. A nice variety of styles and decades. On This tv they show old movies, and they are fun to watch. Yesterday I only caught the tail end of a movie starring Vincent Price. He was flying over the earth bombing it from a "spaceship" which looked like a metal dirigible. I can't remember the name of the movie, but it did get me interested in steampunk again. So let's go see what I can find.
First I stopped at HandmadeArtists.com and did a simple search using the keyword steampunk, and this little guy popped up on the first page. I love this "Face of Steampunk" bracelet. He looks surprised, hahahaha. This is a unisex bracelet and can be found in the shop of Uniqlets. You really should visit this shop, the artist uses vintage pieces to create amazing jewelry. You won't find pieces like these anywhere else.
Over on Etsy.com the search brought me this Steel Metallic Finish Steampunk Goggles. Kind of cool, huh? Great to wear, or just use as decor, this is handmade by Dr. Sharp in his shop. And with that little led light, this would be a cool night light for your kids to use on their nightly bathroom trips. LOL
And this last one I found just doing a google search on handmade steampunk...
This is a real working desk...with a fully functional PC, LCD screens, cameras, and keyboard. I love it! Totally would not fit with my normal home decor, but how cool would it be to take care of business sitting in front of this desk. I found this on the blog Hometone.com but the link to the desk does not work. :0(
Do you create anything steampunk? I've added a link widget to this post, so you can share your steampunk creations. And if you know the name of the Vincent Price movie that started me on this journey, please let me know.
Be blessed,
Debbi

These pieces are great! Steampunk is so whimsical and unique. Although I do not use the style in my work, I love it. There is actually a steampunmk museum in MA that I am hoping to visit soon!!! I love the old movies too and have The House on The Haunted Hill starring Vincent Price on DVD. So fun!!!
What fun Steampunk finds!! That desk is really a showpiece, so much to look at!
That desk is insane! It's so inspiring how people can transform pieces like that. I saw this really cool typewriter the other day, they had converted it into a computer keyboard! Original sounds and all.
I somehow think of the Wizard of Oz looking at that desk.
