But much of the gear you'd find on a pirate's airship would be recognizably piratey. They'll want the comforts of a regular steampunk home, and they've been decorating with things they found when pillaging and capturing trading ships. So you'd be looking for a blend of nautical, steampunk-opulent, and danger. And make sure you've got a jolly roger flag around somewhere.<BR/><BR/>The things you suggested are quite spiffy. Antique maps would lend themselves to the theme, or if you want to get fancy with the DIY, <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rivkasmom/2087337289/" REL="nofollow">this kind of design</A> translated into a wall piece would be a dead giveaway that a pirate dwells here. Fix up the label on a bottle of rum or three to appear appropriately vintage, perhaps?<BR/><BR/>You could add a sextant, telescope or ship telegraph to your shelves from someplace like <A HREF="http://www.brassbell.com/" REL="nofollow">brassbell.com</A>. For a seafaring pirate, a strategically placed wooden rigging pulley or rope ladder could lend a ship-like feel, which you can find at places like <A HREF="http://www.brassbinnacle.com" REL="nofollow">brassbinnacle.com</A>.Pockafwyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07252579862906022117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119042395428183332.post-7963146401014937932008-10-21T13:07:00.000-07:002008-10-21T13:07:00.000-07:00They most definitely can!
