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.

Piping Hot
In copper instead of colors, these pipe vases would be a great DIY gift and tabletopper.

Being someone who works with sewer pipes from time to time I, ah, no, I don't think I could use them as display pieces. Too many bad memories.
