Di i found these on Ebay and immediately thought of you, god knows why, i thought the first you could wear while out & about as it's quite classy and the second you could wear when you get your Scooter, what do you think:hair::cheers1:
Geez Jilly.....what a good friend you are......
Luverly....:cool1:
They're really classy, or should I say Glassy....
If Di doesn't nab them I bloody will.....:yeah:
Well i thought that one was sooo sofistikated, but you're welcome Di, that's what friends are for.
Casper i think secretly Di loves them but don't tell her i told you
I like the first one .. not sure I`d wear it .. I have one I bought similar when in USA but made by the Nevada Indian tribe..
I wouldn`t part with it and wear it sometimes..
Jilly don't believe anything you see on eBay is Steampunk, it's just what the Chinese think is Steampunk.
This is closer to Steampunk It should be a juxtaposition of antique masquerading as new, hard and soft, industrial with romantic, e.g. like a steam engine with a rosebud on it, or follow a theme of aviation or explorers etc and have little compasses and goggles and wings and stuff and lots of cog wheels and clockfaces and anyone who doesn't 'get' Steampunk certainly won't like it. A lot of that stuff on eBay is faux Goth anyway.
I can't wear it but I'll make it when/if I get the time I have enough little bits of junk and chains and watches to throw a few together. (I got a bag full of those Octopus horrors for 88 cents on eBay when the Ozzie dollar was flying. )
Colors
Although it does exist, you will rarely find colors such as gold or silver in steampunk jewelry. In order to reflect an antique feel, steampunk avoids the use if these bright, new colors. Instead, favored colors are brass, bronze, copper and dark silvers such as gunmetal, brushed aluminum and titanium. Black and white are not popular; ecru, rich browns and shades of gray are much more common.
That does look better than the one i put there, what about the other two would you wear them with your black tights and lime green top, i can picture it now
