Steampunk and its growing following

I'd love to see you make that staff. Maybe hang a couple of keys. And wear a chronometer. Like the idea of medals too. A gentleman explorer type.

[Taffy Saltwater]

So elegant, groomporter.  Some medals would be very sharp, maybe you could find a vintage camera stamping to hang from a ribbon.

[Anna Iram]

Yes, and a monocle.

I've got a reproduction skull and crossbones "death or honor" pin I was thinking of mounting on a pair of wings, or something to turn it into a cap badge. If it turns out it's something I might try to make a mold of and sell. BTW I'm making plans for Teslacon II that we'll be attending next month. http://teslacon.org/

Putting together some steampunk garb for my son.  He's going to a post KCRF performer's party.  Making a gauntlet thingee with lights and noise (I'll let him decide what its purpose is!), and also making a rifle.  His garb is a bowler hat with goggles, glasses with loupes, a wing collar shirt with an ascot and (cogged) stickpin and (cogged) cufflinks.  Ultra modern but goth looking grey vest.  Old timey pocket watch with chain.  Trousers are an old style pattern but microfiber, cuffed at the hem.  Wing tip shoes.  Still making the accoutrments, but should be done in about a week or so!  Fun!

Is anyone planning on wearing steampunk to TRF this year, particularly on All Hallows' Eve?

I am going as a steampunk eve!

Do you have a picture of how it turned out?

Gonna be teaching some period games at http://teslacon.com next week. I'll bring the laptop and try to live stream some video from the webcam. Try to remember to post the link here. Also gonna use my mini videocam to try to get some candid video during the weekend.
