09 Sep I’ve done larger ships and I’ve done smaller ones, but this medium sized, Victorian Steampunk “Maki” airship is a very desirable one. It’s small enough to easily place in a room without special accommodations, yet large enough to make a statement and be the center of an arrangement. Medium Victorian Steampunk “Maki” airship… Continue reading Medium sized Victorian Steampunk “Maki” airship

The battery compartment
01 Sep As mentioned, the battery needs a believable housing and I started with a mint container, then cut it in half and created a lip so that a slide-on top was possible. Mint container as a battery compartment Building the battery compartment As you can see, after the battery compartment was built, I added… Continue reading The battery compartment
The mechanical cyborg steampunk eye (cont.)
25 Aug Well life sort of got in the way and it’s been awhile since I last posted…sorry! To continue with the mechanical cyborg steampunk eye, I’m going to show what I applied beneath the eye before I attach it. My goal for the steampunk deer head was to make the cyborg eye light up.… Continue reading The mechanical cyborg steampunk eye (cont.)

Father’s Day Art
21 Jun This past Sunday – Father’s Day, I was treated to handmade cards by my kids… I like handmade cards the best… Don’t get me wrong, beautiful artwork on store-bought American Greetings or Hallmark cards are great because some fantastically talented illustrator had to paint the original.

I find… Continue reading Repurposing, Artsmith Style
