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.
I came across your blog while searching for images to use for my own blog post about steampunk style and got completely sucked in- I had to tear myself away to get back to writing! Love your posts! At any rate, I mention and link to your site in my blog and am hoping you'll see this as friendly promotion, but if you have any objections, of course I'll remove the mention.
