I've been second guessing my whole SP outfit because it was a mixture of the 1920s and Victorian age until I read this:

The Six Rules of Steampunk Fashion

Rules #4-6 are what set my mind at ease and now I must say I've stop second guessing myself.  I came into this knowing that I would not go strictly Victorian Era but got caught up with all the pictures, ideas, etc.…

             Finishing touches just went on the googles today, found the original lenses that went with them so breaking the purple ones is not a big deal now.    Silver has been added to make them pop off the hat, which I have decided to keep even though it's not a true VICTORIAN style hat but hey Lady Rayna Reynolds is not from our world.   She lives in a world inpired by the Victorian age on earth and many other cultures, times and civilizations.    I've been given a lot of advice about…

The sun began to peak its head above the horizon. The light winding its way in to every nook and cranny it could find, including the yet completed roof of the lab just on the outskirts of London. Inside sat a sleeping scientist, leaning back on two legs of a chair that had been waging a constant battle with gravity since just after he’d fallen asleep. With sketches on the table, a tool in his hand, and an access panel open on the propulsion pod of the majestic air ship close behind him, it…

Smoke Stack Thunder

I see the sparks fly

in the middle of the night

the smell of hot steel

coal smoke and iron wheels

clouds of steam fill the air

hissing valves of brass

all the children stare

as the iron horses pass

smoke stack thunder

barking engines pass by

smoke stake thunder

black suet fills the sky

up and down the grades

with a barking parade

nothing ever…

It was all in an honest days work, or so I kept telling myself. I mean, women were not usually allowed on ships of any kind so I had to do something.

How was I going to get to that cargo if I could not even get on the ship?

Then it hit me that there are two socially acceptable professions for a single woman in the Victorian Era. A prostitute and a seamstresses. So I went with the easiest money I could make...a seamstresses.

I would go to the First Mate, I would ask to be…

DJ PaniX vs the screw-frigate Alexander Neuski, Sept 25th playlist~…

         I'm going to do something a bit different, step out of character, and relate some peculiar information from the standpoint of a 21st century human.  Make of this what you will.

       First off, my character is based on me to such an extent that he might as well BE me in the circumstances I have put him in.

        I began thinking up the ideas for my stories just after Thanksgiving, last year.  The first thing to appear in my mind was the name "Adele…

In anticipation of going to the Old West Festival near Cincinnati, I worked on a leather shoulder holster for my Saboteur 66 from Dr. Grordbort's. I finished it on Thursday and while I recognize the bad stitching and the dye that is much darker than I wanted or expected, it is a passable piece of work revealed as mediocre only on closer…

"Rock and Roll Band" by Teitur is the Sepiachord Song of the Day:…

Once Again, we visited the Asylum Festival at Lincoln & Once Again got enthused about steampunkery. But this time we are going to do something about it so I've been busy restyling an outfit I used for portraying victorian teacher in museums. Added a few essential accessories & I'm almost ready to appear. Still working on the husband's outfit. He's looking forward to the Space Centre Steampunk do later in the year.
