From jewellery made out of clockwork gears, to necklaces that are really pictures produced by screen printing, each is quirky in

i wouldn't have been able to write a post about steampunk jewellery earlier in your life, i only just discovered a whole bunch of them last week ;) i had seen clockwork rings on jeanine gabrielle before, but hadn't realised they were really a category on their own, with their own name and shops dedicated to making this sort of jewellery.

oh no ok theyre called correction tape! image references: http://images.google.com.sg/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&hs=nC3&q=correction+tape&um=1&ie=UTF-8
i apologize about that! i always call them mouse tape but i think the proper name is correction tape (windy terminology imo)

LOL dear! haha you take things really factually. :)

[chanelesque]

haha, i felt you were referring to correction tape actually :) but those gears aren't really nice enough to be made into jewellery cos they are made of plastic! unless you spray paint them gold or silver. dear me, spray paint seems like a solution to everything.

hi! i stumbled on your LJ while looking at communities a while ago, and i keep coming back! i find your posts really inspiring and interesting, this one is especially great! would you mind if i added you as a LJ friend?

[chanelesque]

add, add :) i like the pictures on your blog and the layout of your posts, very clean and simple. and your mum's dog (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v163/hanaco/jackiebaby.jpg) is my favourite kind of dog! little scottie dog? ♥ i fell in love with the scottie dog ever since i read the mystery series by enid blyton when i was a child. in the book, the dog is called buster, and enjoys snapping at the annoying policeman Mr Goon's ankles.

Ooh, I loved this post! Such cute things. My favorite steampunk creator is Haruo Suekichi. He makes the most amazing steampunk watches.

you know what! these look like they stepped right out of the golden compass! it just struck me that the world of golden compass is very much steampunk, is it not?
