very pretty, and I like seeing it in movies. I loved “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” for the esthetic appeal.

I like the clothes, the tailored suits and jackets, the hats and monacles. I also am a sucker for the machines, and anything with lots of brass knobs, steam coming out of it, and gears and pistons everywhere.

I don’t collect anything steampunk, but it makes for some cool movies.

a few Victorian/steampunk touches into my everyday wardrobe…

Check out the 43things birthday we had for Legerd a while back with a steampunk style :)

I remember this guy had some cool steampunk style stuff (watches etc)

Urban Don

I have several friends who are very into that. They go to cons all decked out in their fancy hats with goggles, corsets, vests, crazy contraptions…

I’ve been trying to get a grasp on it myself. I know what it looks like, and that to make something look steampunk, a lot of gears and brassy looking things are used – plus Victorian style clothing, gizmos, and gadgets… I have a friend who is opening (or maybe has opened) a steampunk themed novelty shop, and asked me for some art to sell. I didn’t really have much, although some of my paintings included tiny hats, so I gave him those. lol

I really like the look, although I don’t use it for myself. It’s really fun though. One of my favorite online comics is Girl Genius. :)

I have planned a mosaic table top in the steampunk style. I am excited aboutthis project and can’t wait to get started!!

Upcoming kitchen project with gf and I is to take one of those countertop sized theatre-style popcorn poppers and refit it in copper and some gears/tubes/gadgets/etc.

Never heard of the genre, so thank you for teaching me something new (just wikied it)!

I like shabby chic decor and Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow… not quite steampunk, though :P
