This fascinating subculture was visited only once by Vermont DeadLine in my previous post entitled "And Now For Steampunk Completely Different". It is a new year, and in my humble opinion, it is worth revisiting. These people have taken every day objects and reinvented them into fascinating, [mostly] useful devices and gadgets. To me, the level of work put into creating what really is art, exemplifies Steampunk as a stand on its own genre. Thankfully, the exact recipe for creating anything Steampunk is one of constant improvisation. Using elements such as silver, brass, and copper; and items such as clock gears, old bullet casings, rivets and cogs (just for a start) these artists take you into a fantasy world of their very own. What makes steampunk especially tantalizing is the preferred method of power IS steam. Like what you see? ALL of these images were found on Pinterest, so check it out for your self by signing on and typing "steampunk" into the subject line. It's worth the trip! Elaborate Writing Utensils Pacman, anyone?
