Nicole B. shared this delicate clockwork carousel horse on the Epbot FB page:
Stop the press - HOW AMAZING IS THIS?!
It's the work of sculptor Sue Beatrice, who uses all vintage clock parts. I love how she used the shape of each piece to fit the horse; I'm not sure she even had to cut any! Check out more of her creations over on
her FB page.
Adinda in the Netherlands sent in a few of her photos from
the Midzomer Fair Parade, a small but delightful gathering of steampunk
and costume enthusiasts. Here are my favorites:
That angel is so pretty! Love the teal accents.
And here's a fun DIY for your next steampunk cosplay: portable pockets!
See the belt Gail's wearing? She made it from an old pair of
cargo shorts. Cool idea! Head over to her blog
Retro Rack for the tutorial.
Or, for a more every-day option, check out this
amazing bag:
Not only can you wear it on your hip like a holster, you can also wear it higher up on your shoulder, like this:
They're made to order by
JungleTribe over on Etsy for $269 (and you can also get it in black.)

Burn Notice, I find this

Here's a fun mod that's been going around again: remember the Potato Head Big Daddy?

All it needs is a little spud Little Sister. :D
And finally, when John first showed me a photo of the new Steampunk Mini Countryman this week, I have to admit I was less than wow'ed:
But then he showed me the
inside, and
WOWOWOW!!
[swoon]
Absolutely
stunning.
I wonder how much it would cost to have someone make the inside of my
copper Kia Forte look like this? I mean, I know I'm a little biased, but
I really think it'd look better in MY car. :D
Lots more detail shots
