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.

Octopus Table on Etsy
Yesterday's post solicited a comment by Tammyo about this Octopus Coffee Table, in the same vein as the one pictured, that she has (had!) for sale on Etsy. By the time I read the comment, it was already sold, and I can see why -- it's awesome.
I don't mean to tease, but I think we should encourage Tammy to make more in this vein.
just a clarification: i didn't make the table, i saw it on etsy and asked the creative folks at the goblin bazaar to make me one (which they're in the process on doing). it's pretty rad, eh?
ReplyDeletethanks tammy - the site for this table is thegoblinbazaar.etsy.com
ReplyDeleteif anyone is interested, as Tammy said, I make custom orders. And you can check out the one I made for her in the 'sold' category as well!
