(TrendHunter.com) Steampunk style can be described as a fantastical scientific romance with a fictional Victorian industrial era. Oxford’s Museum of the History of Science is celebrating the eccentric genre with the world’s…
My projects for this months Making Jewellery Magazine are a sweet origami star necklace made from christmas wrapping paper, and a special polymer clay Christmas bauble bracelet with a huge sparkly crystal and Vintaj wrapped clasp - you know how much I love my polymer clay! The bauble project didn't photograph particularly well in the magazine - the original bracelet and my own photograph is much brighter...

The Americans call it "steampunk" , a term for new works that reference wackier bits of the age of steam/early science fiction. As far as interior design terms go, we'd probably call it retro. This is the "newsroom" in New York for the authors of the Gawker family of blogs. It's taken from a full slideshow of their offices at The Business Insider.
Courtesy of a friend, (thanks Marc), I have this link to share with you. It sends you to another set of amazing cakes, this time with a theme. They are steampunk inspired. Oh, and this blog aptly called Cake Wrecks also provides a bit of a culinary laugh at the expense of cake decorators. If you’ve ever had [...]
Walk into the ICA this weekend and you won't find the usual contemporary art installations. For the next three weeks it's all about art with a cool comic-book twist. At the sixth Comica festival, the annual London gathering of some of the biggest international comic and graphic novel writers and artists around, hip twentysomethings will be watching their heroes drawing a collaborative comic strip...

A couple of mighty fine small press comics that have plopped through my letter box recently... O Men creator Martin Eden's long awaited full colour comic Spandex has finally become a reality, with a gorgeously produced #1 that acts as a taster for the massive 120 page Spandex graphic novel which will follow next year. For mature readers only (no, seriously), Spandex features the world's first gay superhero...
*I see that American steampunk enemy-of-the-state “Dr. Calamity” made the cut. http://threatened.globalvoicesonline.org/ “A collaborative mapping project to build a database of bloggers who have been threatened, arrested or killed for speaking out online and to draw attention to the campaigns to free them.”

During my thrifty costume hunting for the Steampunk Wedding , I found myself surrounded by vintage birds. Wherever I went, there they were. Several followed me home. Three beautiful prints by Louis Agassiz Fuertes will be framed soon. An over-sized bird guide from the forties offers sumptuously thick pages filled with rich and detailed illustrations by Rex Brasher. My favorite is a little hand-bound...
In this first episode of the steampunk fantasy series Riese, the titular character is seen to run through the woods, fights off several pursuers, have a flashback, and arrive at a small town. The first episode is rather short, being about 7 minutes in length (the remaining two are for the credits), but nonetheless establishes that [...] Related posts: @Tor.com: Riese the Series Tor Announces Wizard’s...
