Taking a Break

I took the night off of writing tonight. Not because I wanted to but because I just couldn't bring myself to write for reasons I will state when I have them decently clarified in my head. Probably a few days down the road. That will be a hard blog to post.

Anyway, since my novel covers steampunk, I decided to post a few things from etsy that are steampunk related, so you might get an idea of my meaning. I'm currently collecting items (not necessarily these) for my own steampunk costume for the convention in Seattle next year, which I'm totally excited about and hope that some of my steampunk loving friends will join me at. So, without further ado, here I present steampunk:

An underbust bodice that can be found at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33763382.

An antique watch necklace, found at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13177128.

Aviator Goggles found at The Badger's Den: http://www.badgersden.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=304_326&products_id=1258

Pearl Cuff Bracelet: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20249909

Steampunk pocketwatch: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33787555&ref=sr_gallery_5&&ga_search_query=steampunk+pocketwatch&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

And then, of course, my two absolute favorites:

The fancy cloth wrist corsage: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33820790&ref=sr_gallery_8&&ga_search_query=steampunk+clothing&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=3&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

Red and Gold Corset: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33784463&ref=sr_gallery_10&&ga_search_query=steampunk+clothing&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=5&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

Mix a few of these things together (the watch, corset, corsage, goggles) and you're getting close to a steampunk-looking outfit!
