Who are Parkers and Quinn?
Based in Austin, TX, Parkers and Quinn is a collective effort from Ben Parker and Jennifer Buffie (and their desert tortoise, he likes to throw his two cents in on occasion.) Ben and Jen craft items during 'down time' outside of their day to day work-life. They focus on Quality Leather Goggles, Hair Accessories and Mini Top-Hats. Parkers and Quinn hope to broaden their selections to include steamy belts, coats and under-bust vests in the near future!

The Sisters

Not Steampunk but I pieced these two necklaces together for my sister and myself. They are cascading orchids (those are my favorite flowers.) The neat thing about the charms are that each of the flowers are connected to each other so they can wiggle around.
I may add something to them at a later date but right now I am pretty happy with how they look.

theshyfox photography and floral duct tape Steampunk Ball Costume Contest Loot Donation

theshyfox photography and floral duct tape has generously donated one of her treasure flowers and one of her popular prints "Road to no where" to the March 12th Austin Elysium Steampunk Ball Costume Contest Prize Pool. (I don't think I can explain how awesome this print looks in real life. There is a silver sheen that adds so much that can't be photographed!)

Where can you fine more of theshyfox's work?
Check out her Deviantart account at: http://theshyfox.deviantart.com/

Who is theshyfox?
By day a 22 year old photographer for her own company and for a local film crew that specializes in horror and the macabre. By night, the regional manager for a local janitorial company that specializes in cleaning movie theaters. It might not be glamorous but it pays for what she loves, time to spend being the official photographer for two local convention going groups called The Houston Area Ghost Busters and The Air Ship Isabella. (Not to mention the duct tape that she fashions into amazing and delicious smelling flowers of all shapes and sizes!)

So what is theshyfox? Not to be contained by one category, she is a photographer, internet addict, youtube vlogger, singer, cinematographer, gofur, makeup artist, costumer, rennie, steampunker, nerd, loving daughter, sister, and girlfriend.

More New Resin Tokens

The is a new resin that I have been toying around with lately that sets due to UV light. I'm still not sure what I think of it. For these I don't mind it so much but when it covers all the items completely, well; I'm still not sold on how it looks. I like how my other resins conform more to the shape of the objects beneath when they dry. This one has a hard, even and glossy look to it. I'll have to do more testing...
