I've just applied to the Etsy Team
I'm building steam gradually, adding more and more items every week or so, like these:

It has become a theme now, with even pairs of things such as earrings having subtle differences.
Nearby, my brother Matt of
www.etsy.com/shop/ArcaneArmoury has his workshop. He's just finished a batch of Retro sci-fi themed Nerf dart shooters for a UK based Live Rolepay event and has started on a series of Steampunk themed Nerfs.
It's great to be able to help and inspire one another, to share ideas and cogs, too!
Do come along every now and again and see how our shops are growing. We're always looking out for really cool Steampunk stuff ourselves (and when we make good sales, we'll most likely be buying from those favourite shops!)
Perhaps we need threads here specific to what kind of items are being offered...if your shop sells more that one type, you list yourself in the appropriate threads? Just an idea as there seem to be so many of us out there! That way, no one needs to constantly update an ever-growing list!!!
