The Telectroscope

The Brass Lion – Steampunk Recumbent
You'll recall I posted a picture of my recumbent bike last week and that one of things I wondered aloud was how one would go about steampunkifying a bike? Well Eric and Alan – a.k.a. Steuben's Wheelmen – sent me a whole passel of new photos that show exactly
Rusty, corroded, extremelly beautiful jewlery comes with free tetanus shot
The jewelry made by Flickr user The Justified Sinner does not, in fact, come with a painful jab to the arm; but is extremely beautiful. I would love to adorn myself in his creations- the rust and polish are SP’s version of denim and lace. Seen here is

The California Steampunk Convention
I’ve been booked for the first ever California Steampunk Convention in Sunnyvale, California – October 31 through November 2!
