Like Loopdilou, I have been ruminating. The brain candy that I have has been there for years whenever I see the merge of the Victorian way with the technology of today. Alchemy was not just the combination of metals to achieve gold but also combining elements of chemistry, metallurgy, physics, medicine, astrology, semiotics, mysticism, spiritualism, and art. I can see that Steampunk itself is much like the alchemy of the past. I look forward to the challenge of creating objects that have their design roots in the Victorian era. I embrace the challenge of working with metals, chemicals, physics and the mystery of the imagination. I would be untruthful if I stated that I did not feel something spiritual about this.EnGaugedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235968041449083465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119042395428183332.post-21641250465105456132008-01-27T14:30:00.000-08:002008-01-27T14:30:00.000-08:00Dear Sara,Madam - I'm quite glad to read your arti...Dear Sara,<BR/>Madam - I'm quite glad to read your article and can't agree with you more. Part of the joy (ideally) is in taking a "diamond in the rough" and not only making useful and a piece of beauty one can admire, but the satisfaction of knowing that your efforts salavged (or at least represent) a bit of the past.<BR/>v/r,<BR/>Rafael FabreBatouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795748035112364824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119042395428183332.post-83791394784478960352008-01-25T20:46:00.000-08:002008-01-25T20:46:00.000-08:00Thank you for your thoughts, Sara.

I don't even wear the clothes! The closest my home gets to "steampunk" is some faux dark wood bookcases and a faux bronze mini Rodin! However, I envy the creators - the true Steam Punks, like yourself.. and I think part of my fascination with the culture is my desire to be a creator too, even though I lack any discernible skills. Alchemists are world builders, not just gadget inventors and that's just cool.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, well said and thank you for saying it because you said it better than I could have.LoopdiLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071128534047439266noreply@blogger.com
