Ms Bret wrote to say that if you take a look at her site, she’s been doing a series of fashion photography recently with a very heavy Steampunk leaning – there are currently eight specifically Steampunk images (such as the one above, with that lovely dusty effect) and a couple of rather nice Alice in [...]

Over at Neatorama, they just posted about a new Flash based adventure point and click game set in 1904 called Covert Front.  This, episode one, seems to tell the tale of Europe at war, and several important scientists gone missing – you, a beautiful and mysterious agent are sent to investigate another important man who [...]

Ms Jade wrote to say that she’d posted about the process and results of her own forays into the dark arts of Steampunk Lady Apron making (originally inspired by Ms Pollock).  From how she made and molded the lovely little cogs on the front, to the trials and tribulations of not quite having enough fabric, [...]

Mr Keppel points out some stunning kits offered by the German company, Sun Watch (translated) – one of which is the above Magic Lantern kit!  Constructed from stiff cardboard, and arriving with lenses, electric lights and a series of slides, all that is left to do is assemble and glue the contraption together.  It looks [...]

Professor Hardbottle wrote to point out some simply marvelous images from the 2006 Great Race of London at the Dickens Christmas Fair (San Francisco).  A race for the princely sum of £5,000 Sterling using pedaled vehicles of marvelous style attracted apparently few entrants, but those of a very high quality indeed – but as is [...]

Who would have thought that a dragon’s preferred mode of transport would be a Vespa, but so it is – and this particular Vespa (named Quell) has been given a custom paint job to give it a very intricate, Steampunk, wood and brass effect!  The Honky-Tonk Dragon has posted innumerable photographs of both the process [...]

Wardian Cases were invented in 1829 by a gentleman by the name of Dr. Nathanial Bagshaw Ward, who was an avid fern collector in London. However, the air pollution in London at the time was so bad (known as ‘pea-soupers’ and caused by the smoke and sulpur dioxide from the coal fires) that his [...]

Over at the forum, honoured member Cazouillette has crafted this creature of dreams and nightmares from beautiful brass, clockwork and sculpey.  While you can quite easily imagine it click clicking and tick ticking on those breathtakingly sharp points, it does not, at this time, possess the ability to move.  Perhaps I heard a collective sigh [...]

Over at the Wired “The Underwire” blog, there’s an entry about the above modified magic lantern called “Email Lantern (My Ghost Writer)” by Daniel Liss. In much the same practicality range as Mr Von Slatt’s RSS morse ticker, the Email Lantern projects emails sent to it one letter at a time with a scrolling [...]
