I used Photolab Pro to create this one a few years ago. I really liked the way it turned out, this is of course a flower in the daisy family.
I’m getting some work done on my new project, and then getting ready to call it a...

A very quiet month for me. The book club meeting went well, with a chance to borrow the Convenience Store Woman novel by Sayaka Murata reviewed on other pages here.
I did a lot of reading, along with catching up on my work on a...

The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang theme in the original movie is quite fun, and this Abney Park steampunk spin on it is quite faithful to the tune though with a darker edge to it.
The video is quite silly, with the Abney Park car not...

Often very funny short satirical graphic novel about a late Victorian dandy adventurer called Sebastian O, a mixture of Oscar Wilde, Lord Byron & The Marquis De Sade. Sebastian isn’t so much...

I did this or over a year ago, I had taken a picture of a Gerbera Daisy I had taken and then used an effect on Photholab Pro, to give it more of a steampunk feel!
Do you like how it turned out? Why or why not?

I thought I'd flag up a few of my favourite books of the many I have read this year.
I discovered China Mieville having seen a trailer for a TV adaptation of The City and The City and thought I should check the book out. This...

I was over on Etsy and made a purchase.
I have found, in looking at different things on line that I like "steampunk" designed things. I saw this steampunk teddy bear/watch/pendant/necklace and thought it was kind of neat, and I...

Another of my Steampunk photos, which was taken in Queen’s Park, Harpurhey, Manchester. We were using a pub called The Hellfire Club (now sadly closed) for the shoot and we also made use of the adjoining park and a disused...

Another really inactive day though with a few key events. My mum snuck out shopping on her own, despite her heart problems as she wanted to get a break. She left me worried about where she was and returned looking very tired –...

Great convention friends David Wake and Dawn Abigail presented a short steampunk themed gathering to share parts in a short playlet David wrote. As characters were expected to talk in French I decided not to take a role and just...

I have taken part in many photoshoots over the years both as model and photographer.
Here I was very much in photographer mode. The models are all unpaid non-professionals and the group we belong to (Faint Fascinations) gets...

A wonderfully written music hall gem about a man torn between his fabulous moustache and the love of a woman who wants him to shave it off. This is a rare song sung by the delightfully named Steampunk star, Sir Reginald Pikedevant...

I mention Steampunk often in my writings and here is possibly the finest Steampunk song ever recorded. It is a superb powerful serious lament for the loss of clockwork time-pieces in the age of the digital quartz clock. The Cog Is...

What do you prefer: Steampunk, Cyberpunk, or a little of both? I'm a mostly Steampunk lady, but I do like some things from the Cyberpunk realm so I suppose a bit of both. You know if I'm going to hang with a Mechanist I might as...

I've been clicking on anything I'm interested in on Etsy. com and it seems my style runs as follows: Steampunk, Gothic Lolita, and Zigfield. I'm in my 50s, too young for the last one (and probably too old for the first two), but I...
