Steampunkin' Pendant

This necklace is made of glass beads, copper chain, and a steampunk pumpkin pendant. I made the large bead mix, but it just needed something else. The copper chain strung on the multishaped. bead strand added the right touch.


Next up, Snowpunk! (Unless I get my steampunk turkey made)

It't time for the Great Pumpkin!

That's actually the name of this pin. It's the first of what I like to call Steampunkins. With the clock element and the watch gears, it just begged to be called Time for the Great Pumpkin. Do you think it's sincere enough?

Defensor

This little guy is called Defensor. He's not evil, just hangin' out, protecting his owner. He is a Peruvian ceramic bead, strung with black stone chips and glass gunmetal bicones and silver e beads.

Fall on the Mound wasn't as successful as I'd hoped, so now on to new ways to keep going in this economy.

Fall on the Mound!

Yup, it's that time of year again! I will be at Trietsch Memorial United Methodist Church (next to Marcus High School on Morriss in Flower Mound, TX) on Saturday for the Fall on the Mound craft show. I've been exhibiting there for several years, and will have new items and old favorites available for fall and winter occasions. I'll have lots of Charming Clusters, and some more Lump Owls, so come see me if you're in the area!

Whoo's There?

Here's a simple little owl I made for a friend who teaches art down the hall from my science room (Hi Kristen!). I think of him as a lump owl, kind of like CF's lump cats. He matches the theme of the art room this year, and he was so much fun to make, he may soon have a whole flock of friends. The picture is kind of blurry- that's what happens when you try to use your cell phone for detail shots.

League of Extraordinary Felines

Having been dragged kicking and screaming into steampunk by Christi, I find that I now really enjoy it, so I'll be creating with gears for a while. At the IPCA retreat, we had a competition to embellish a small round tin. I decided to do a steampunk cat because I hadn't seen one before. Well, one thing led to another, and with the advice of Rob Yost of Polymer Clay Express, I created... Macavity! He is the companion of Professor James Moriarty. Do not call him a nice kitty.

He is going to have nemeses though- The League of Extraordinary Felines will oppose his evil schemes. Look for Cheetah, the Kitten of Dorian Gray, Lucy, and others to appear!

He will have

Speedy Steampunk!

This is Speedy the Steampunk Dragon. He is a member of the SteamPunk Delivery Service (SPDs) so everyone calls him Speedy. Right now he has to deliver this important mineral to a very important scientist so he can make a very important potion in his super secret lab on a super secret island. He doesn't have time to talk so bye!

(I made him in a workshop with Christi Friesen)
