Steampunk coming to Victoria

I can't wait for the Victoria Steam Expo coming up on May 22nd and 23rd! Steampunk fans will be coming from far and wide to the delightfully elegant Empress Hotel.

And I'll be at there with partner in crime Rad Juli. I've been stockpiling like mad, creating pendants, earrings, and rings exclusively for this event. My inspirations have been, of course, steam-powered machinery, but also celestial imagery, robotics, and even fairytales.


Celestial Creations



Heavy-Duty Designs



Steampunk Characters



Industrial Rings



Pendant Multiples



I've also added an individual item gallery to my Baubles' Facebook page.

For those of you that can't make it into town, check out my Etsy store in the weeks following for a flood of new steampunk items.

I'm also re-sharing a few steam-powered pics from my 2009 visit to Manchester and MOSI.

Your stuff looks fabulous, Christine. I think you're going to do very well. Remember when you're on Oprah!

Thanks Joylene :) And congrats on your latest blog award! I'm still puzzling over which facts are the true ones and which are false. Although, as a fellow cat owner, I think cat bathing is a slam dunk on the list of totally not fun things to do ;)

Ha ha. And to make matters worse, he just walked in covered in dirt. His idea of fun is to roll in the dirt. Did I mention he's white?

Thanks, Christine.
