Today I am going to talk about Steampunk. Recently my mom and I discovered this amazing world where, hypothetically, the Victorian/steam power age had the access to the technologies we have today. Much of it consists of clockwork, copper, and corsets (the 3 C's) but other than that it is free to the imagination of the Steampunker.


 Some people "mod" everyday item to appear as if they could belong in the Victorian era, like this guitar (WHICH I WANT)

Steampunk can also extend to music, like one of my favorite bands, Abney Park  (you should seriously check them out!)


Of course, wardrobe is a huge factor in creating a perfect Steampunk character, but the devices people make and stories behind them are what amazes me. For example, the picture above is explained as "Steampunk Ghostbusters"

And finally, many people (like me) create intricate designs in jewelry to express their Steampunk creative juices. The things I make, however, are not at all as amazing as this ring!

 So that's a taste of Steampunk for you! Hope you enjoyed it!
