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.
Yep, it's a leather wrapped bathtub. I love how it resembles an antique travelling trunk, but could do without the fleur di lis. (And couldn't they antique all the shiny brass?)
Very nice. Too bad I could never afford something like that.
I found this while browsing my favorite crafting site: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/vintage-leather-belts-recycled-into-rugs-mats-or-floor-tiles Seems like a real nifty idea, and something I'm likely to do myself. I sent an email, but my emails tend to get sent to the spam box :)
