Cogs and Steampunk

My journey into the world of steampunk has begun. I am truly inspired and fascinated with the possibilities of this concept and world. This particular piece displayed above was done in collaboration with a very very dear friend, and although it is truly an artistic piece and not of engineer detail - I love what I've created. I really want to explore more reflections and concepts. In this piece the reflections came from my imagination more than they did from a real piece - thus the more grain or weathered look to the cogs. I am aware that the teeth lean, and aren't all the same size. I kinda allowed the piece to come together as it were, and am pleased with the whimsical look to everything. For a first piece I am celebrating! I love the deep blue, and the engraving on the light silver attachment pieces. I really like how the face turned out, and had fun with the wings. The entire piece was a joy to put together, and I hope that future pieces will bring such passion and enjoyment to my world. This piece really held my attention, and allowed me to see where I could take things. I hope to find models, I hope to explore what's been done and further the field. I really want to know the ins and outs of steampunk, where it started and where it's headed. I personally want outfits I can actually wear to!! So much fun to be had!!

May inspiration strike you, hold you for ransom and show you the ways of passion and life!!
