| Featured Ensemble: the Steampunk Faerie Beautiful and strange, this doll-like creature captures the imagination with an enigmatic glance. Is she a case of Nature imitating Science? Or is she Science imitating Nature? The steampunk faerie has clockwork wings and has never spoken a word. If you look closely, you will also see that she carries a ring of skeleton keys. No one knows what doors they open, and perhaps it's better they don't. The steampunk faerie has many secrets. She is the quintessential paradox of her age. Bodice overcoat, $85 Skirt, $34 Accessories, details below Steampunk Faerie Wings, $300 Shirt is vintage; socks and gloves from Anthropologie. |
| Steampunk Tinker Choker ( Sold ) |
| Steampunk Arrow Brooch ($22 - Purchase on Etsy.) This peculiar Steampunk brooch is completely one of a kind. A bold metal arrow frames a bright resin cameo and filigree wings, while a clip-shaped backing makes it easy to slide into a hat band, pocket, or bodice. |
PAST WORKS:
| Proper Ladylike Collar ($20 - Purchase on Etsy) Prim and proper yet just a pinch demure, this collar is made of vintage wool, soft jersey lining, and gold lace. It clasps shut with a romantic altered brooch. |
| Cheerful Clockwork Bird Purse ($18 - Purchase on Etsy.) A beautiful little evening bag of bright gold satin is adorned with feathers and steampunk charms. Cute and unique! |
| Steampunk Circle Skirt (Inquire to Purchase) An asymmetrical wool circle skirt with a crinoline of ragged golden tulle. The generous waistband sits conservatively at the natural waist, but a thigh-skimming hemline keeps the gentlemen guessing. Fits a 29-30" waist. |
| Steampunk Bodice Overcoat and Shirt (Inquire to purchase.) Overcoat: This utilitarian yet romantic overcoat consists of a stiff-fronted Elizabethan bodice that flows seamlessly into an open-fronted skirt. It is adorned with real and faux leather accents and made to layer beautifully over bustles, shorts, miniskirts, and even full-length gowns. Base material is a soft but heavy duty vintage fabric; bodice zips tidily up the back. Belt and key ring recommended as accessories. An essential staple for any steampunk wardrobe. Shirt: We paired this flouncy yet down-to-Earth overcoat with a gorgeous ivory stretch-lace shirt from Banana Republic. In addition to the unique pattern of its lace, tits most charming feature is its steampunk neckline: a plunging keyhole held demurely shut by pearly toggle buttons and a Victorian collar. Shirt can be purchased separately or with overcoat. Please inquire. |
| Steampunk Shoes? (Inquire to purchase.) Okay, so we didn't make the shoes, but we had the bright idea of pairing them with vintage charms! Faux wood heels add a delightful touch to these peep-toe Oxford hybrids, while vintage gold earrings upgrade the look. Size 9. |
| ($300 - Inquire to purchase.) Inimitable and utterly one-of-a-kind, our steampunk faerie wings were born from months of experimentation and labor. Two layers of gold-painted screen have been painstakingly pinched together with a lightweight sculpting clay, then capped with layers of feather-light card stock varnished and buffed to a shine. Intricate gear shapes within the wings cast beautiful silhouettes. Sculptural arches and a complex array of tubing and wires add mechanical detail, while a small steampunk "engine" sits the center of the back. Turn off the lights and let the glow of (electric) candlelight flicker romantically. |
