Steampunk

| Image 7 of 9 |

I recently discovered Steampunk, a movement which embraces art, fashion,music, literature and film.
It's about re-inventing the technology and fashion of the Victorian era, just think of Jules Verne. I loved the imagery an was inspired to make my own automata.
I spent one month making it, using found objects such as old alarm clocks, car inner tubes, empty oil cans and fencing wire. I kept a photographic record of my progress which I later made into a book 'A Steampunk Romance', which is available from Blurb.com. You can see photos of the construction of this work on my Facebook group 'Mechanical Adventures' http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1526148696&ref=name#/group.php?gi...
