Steampunk

Evening all,


I've had a busy day making and dispatching orders, and getting started on some new Steampunk jewellery.
I got a lot of vintage watches delivered this morning, so I've been trying out a few new designs. Earrings, a pendant and a couple of rings.

Tie tacks and a few other things will follow. Once I've stripped the watches down to just the movement, I added a few Swarovski crystals then added the fixings to finish the pieces. I'm very pleased with the results so far.


I know you're asking... what is Steampunk? Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used, usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England, but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. So it’s like taking modern technology and representing it with gears and moving parts instead of electronics.

I listed a few new twisted sweet necklaces today as well. 2 liquorish and another multi-coloured flump one. 


Just about to list a curly wurly pendant and matching earrings and a few other sweetie and biscuit items.


I got a load of old typewriter keys yesterday so most letters are back in stock for the rings.
I'm just about to use my Sushezi machine for the first time to make my very own real Sushi, to eat, not for making into jewellery. Hope it turns out all right.
Have a good evening.
Take care.
Jude.
