This week's assortment of steampunk-inspired links ended up on the more pragmatic, DIY side of life for some reason. To wit:
- Tactical corsets, perfect for the modern era!
- Make your own spats!
- Learn about how steam is making a comeback in the modern technological world!
- Consider the sea-based cities of the future, as imagined by various designers. I like the fourth one the best, personally.
- More computer modding, this time with an Egyptian bent. (I suggest including mummified hard drives, motherboards, etc., that have failed in the past.)
And finally, for the impractical and imaginative: huge leviathan battleships in the skies! Aieee!
Also, a note: the Steampunk Librarian will now also be mirrored on the Steampunk Empire for the forseeable future. Oooh, ahhh.
Happy Mardi Gras, everyone!
Here is my confession of a would-be goth and/or steampunk and/or neo-victorian: I've never worn a corset. Fainting Room is a new site which is quite attractive and may finally push me into the world of strange constricting clothing. I've always been more the tomboy pirate type, which is why I gravitate toward sites like the new Boys' Own weblog.
I also have no tattoos (which makes me un-punk, I suppose), but look at this gorgeous steampunk heart!
I think the IVY project is quite a lovely idea...even more so if it consisted of small cogs and gears which eventually connected to make a machine, yes?
