I think that’s so true, there is a dark romance [...]

Fear not, there is a great site called This To That which will give you the best adhesive to glue…you guessed it…this to that!

Fantastic Contraptions

This does not really fit into the genre of Steampunk Jewelry but I think it’s worth taking a close look at the amazing imagination, artistry and skill of Stephane Halleux. The artistry, which has gone into these pieces, is wholly inspiring to me.
His work takes you immediately into another world, his characters and creations surely [...]

I pledge allegiance!

This Post is slightly off the topic of Steampunk Jewelry but there is a really great online movement called the Handmade Pledge and I am keen to spread the word.
In the most basic of explanations, you can take an online pledge to give handmade and request that others do the same for you.
Taking the time [...]

A perfect place to stash your Steampunk Jewelry!

With the current fascination for Artists making Steampunk Jewelry, it really can be something else to when you see how some people think so much bigger…like a Steampunk tree complete with an extraordinarily detailed tree house!
There is a fantastic video on Boing Boing and if the child inside is screaming… guess what…it’s for sale…I’m afraid [...]
