Di Cooper replied to Philip Allan Brian Drew's discussion 100 Words in the group The Aether Guild of Writers"She trudged through the darkness and suffocating fog, feeling them both swirling into her mind. Were they stealing the thoughts away? Were they suffocating the life out of the memories that she tried to walk away? Yes. She felt the…"
Di Cooper replied to Di Cooper's discussion Steampunk Toys in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"That was confronting and inspiring. Thank you for that. It took a few reads and watches to get over and beyond my ideas and I thank you heaps! I can make things perfectly imperfect and vice versa. You have opened up many…"
Professor Argon Bats replied to Di Cooper's discussion Steampunk Toys in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"I think there is definitely room for more. If you're directing them at adults in particular (i.e., display / collector items more than toys)... well, there's a taste for everything out there. See for example this artist

Di Cooper replied to Di Cooper's discussion Steampunk Toys in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"Oh wow that is awesome.. I have to have a big think about that. Not puppets (that's your thing) but characters who have a personality and can be loved.. Is that a market and do they have to be cute/fluffy/happy…"
Di Cooper replied to Di Cooper's discussion Steampunk Toys in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"Ahh, you have seconded Etsy, cheers! I'm in Australia and actually haven't heard of that so thanks for helping me to turn to this :) xx

Di Cooper replied to Di Cooper's discussion Steampunk Toys in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"Cheers Adriana!! That's just what I needed to hear. I think the thing that's stopped me is that 'I can make that' rejection. Maybe I just ' build-a-bridge-and-get-over-it' ! Thank you, you…"
Daniel Dungeon replied to Di Cooper's discussion Steampunk Toys in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"We've been really getting into puppet making lately, and have found that because of how much people like the puppets personalities, they're requesting to buy the plush toys. No time to make them though!"
Professor Argon Bats replied to Di Cooper's discussion Steampunk Toys in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"Etsy posts stories from sellers all the time, as well as tips. I never really tried myself, had an etsy shop but never expected it to make any money. Perhaps some of the "success stories" there might be useful?

Adriana replied to Di Cooper's discussion Steampunk Toys in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"I am starting to get into selling stuff myself. I have made local contacts and ways to start selling at art fairs and things, but I know that it is a hard thing to do. At local places people are likely to look at your things and think "I can…"

Steampunk Toys
How do you do. I would like to hear from fellow toy makers. I make felt animals and toys. Is it possible to make money from these unique patterns ? Do you have a success story? I am sitting on my couch watching Psych wondering how I can subsidise my basic income and I'm wondering if this may be an option. Any feedback at all? Thanking you in anticipation. :)See More

But of course, Milady! Tis my honor to accept your friendship. No word on the Den yet. 50 hours and counting...

Thank you, Di! A little over 24 hours now, and haven't heard anything yet. Wish I knew what the "norm" is for this process... Oh, well, it isn't like I'm trying to set up a porn site or recruit for al-Qaeda, so I'm hoping that there won't be a problem. Stay tuned...

Di,
Re: Calling all Writers:
After careful consideration, I have decided to apply to our leadership to establish a new group for the purposes set forth in my discussion of yesterday. If it is approved, you will be able to tap into it at http://www.thesteampunkempire.com/group/scribblers-den. Start checking periodically when you find this. If it disapproved, I will notify everyone by this medium. Fingers crossed! Hope you like it.

The PS Marion is an interesting riverboat. Are you posting her to Riverboats?

Those are wonderful paddlesteamer pictures. Would you mind posting them to that discussion? http://www.thesteampunkempire.com/group/riverboats/forum/topics/murray-river-paddlesteamers-australia I wonder why Australia went with the sidewheelers and sternwheelers seem to have been an almost exclusively North American mode of transportation? Depth of the rivers? Boat builders are just creatures of habit?

I ask since you live a little closer, do you happen to have any more pictures of the paddlesteamers and specifically their steam engines?
