Anyone else out there got/working on/interested in Steampunk? I first learned about it last year at Dragon*Con, am now putting together an outfit. I'd like to share ideas and hear about what others are doing.

it is as if the Victorean Era was still going on and everything developed using steam-powered technology instead of electricity.

Here is a link to Gizmodo with some steampunk mods

I like the steampunk stuff. I think it's kind of cool, like an alternate universe.

I have a Steampunk fairy in the works (as a DCon Crüxshadows fairy). I wanted to have it done for this year, but I want some pretty difficult wings that I have not been able to start on just yet.

I like steam punk...I just finished a set of dread falls and am working on some cyberlox as well. Just having a hard time deciding what colors to use for this one!

Only thing with steam punk is that its yet ANOTHER expensive hobby! lol Personally...I really like the goggles and face masks...they got some pretty cool stuff out there with the victorian flair. There are some days where I could use a corset! ha! :D

I'm a sucker for a good set of goggles. Love the look of them on some costumes.
