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.

Builder's Studio
Pete is a prolific artisan, with an Etsy shop under the name of Builder's Studio that's chock full of science fiction objects created mostly in wood. There's lots to love -- darling robotic wedding cake toppers, ray guns, full size canes, etc.
My favorites were the orreys
or the small dangles. (I like the idea of using these for the end of a hanging ceiling fan chain or as a lamp finial).
We'll also keep an eye on Pete's shop as the holidays roll around -- he makes Christmas ornaments, too!
