I've been saving this for Halloween. For all you mad (or not so mad) scientists, Necromance has some wonderful old fashioned scientific supplies.
I liked this hot plate of a skeletal hand:
Pigeon Skeleton:
Turtle Shell:
Anatomy charts:
Plenty of other good things, including specimen jars and vials (these would be great in a kitchen -- or full of scary things on a mantel). Many are quite dark. Their prices are quite reasonable -- where else are you going to get a full size plastic replica of a skull for $36?
In addition to their website, Necromance has two storefronts in LA. Both look like lots of fun.
Other shopping posts.
I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Hi, I'm a big fan of the blog.
I've been looking at GlitterBlue's jewelry online, and some of the pieces look a little Steampunk to me. Isn't this gorgeous? http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7633983
Thanks for reading, Sarah.
Yes, gorgeous -- that heart pendant is one of the prettiest watch part pieces I've seen!
