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...

Mini Tokens and Cyber Steam Tokens




I'm a sucker for black light and neon items so when a friend tossed some great orange and yellow caps to me I decided to play a little. The piece inside is from a clock but it reminded me of a power button on a computer, so I decided that would be the kind of piece that would go inside these neon pieces. The first try I used a stamped background of gears while the second I left blank since I thought the first seemed a bit cluttered.



Stumbled across some small bottle cap charms and thought I would play with one. :3

Anime Overload Loot

Goodies from Anime Overload. =^.^=




This is just a shot of all the goodies. =)
The Deadpool badge is from herms85.deviantart.com
I'm a huge Deadpool fan...





I grabbed this hat from Georgia Thomas of "Puddles the Pirate Kitty."
She is an Austin Local artist and takes custom order at kittaba@yahoo.com




Unfortunately it seems I didn't grab a business card for the artists that made him.
I shall have to hunt!




Snagged this from Rhapsodical Wares (listed Rhapsodical Hats on the Local Artist tab.)
Find more items on their Etsy shop at rhapsodicalhats.etsy.com!




I'm in love with this from Rhapsodical Wares (listed Rhapsodical Hats on the Local Artist tab.)
Find more items on their Etsy shop at rhapsodicalhats.etsy.com! So Tiny! So Cute!




This is another item from Georgia Thomas of "Puddles the Pirate Kitty."
She had quite a few and sold all of them tonight.
She is an Austin Local artist and takes custom order at kittaba@yahoo.com



This is from ClockWork Threads. (http://www.clockworkthreads.com/)
I really love the design on this! I can't wait to see more of her work.
She handles a lot of custom item work from her website.
Have a picture in mind? Talk to her! She'll make it work!

So overall the con was rather small and the panels were a bit hard to hear but I really think it makes for a good one day con. Everything was packed into one room (performance stage, dealers, artists and panels with cloth dividers in the back of the room.) They also had two food vendors there which was kind of nice. (Yummy Sno-cones!) I mainly just went to go check out the artists.

Other artists that were there include Winged Cat Studios (lucubro-insomnis.deviantart.com), A Key Within: Geek Chic (http://www.akeywithin.etsy.com/), Airship Isabella (Airshipisabella.com) and Bleak World Productions (http://www.metaphoricsurrealist.com/.)

Edge of Twilight (Steampunk Video Game)

Resonance of Fate (Steampunk Video Game)





This is one that I know I would like to try playing just for fun...

Damnation (Steampunk Video Game)



The reviewer makes me laugh for how he keeps harping on how hard it is to wrap his mind around the idea... I think I might try to hunt this down some time.

Guns of Icarus (Steampunk Video Game)

Dusty the Steampunk Watch Dog


Hmm, the photos make him look a little scary but he really is a sweet little pup.
Eats even less than his big brother Rusty the Steampunk Cog Dog.
He is a little timid around Penny and Time but he loves adventuring on his own or exploring with Rusty. Sometimes I find him asleep inside a bottle cap all worn out. He is just so adorable then!

He is made completely out of real watch parts.
(Some not so clean as you can see by his face; what does that boy get into?!)


I was able to round the boys up for a family photo.
This also gives you and idea of Dusty's size. He can fit inside a bottle cap.

Taking it easy tonight...

I didn't really feel like working tonight so I decided to play a little. Did some drawing and then decided to play with some ideas I had for chain mail. I don't really like following directions, I think that is why reading through lots of chain mail tutorials just kills my head. Once I can establish some kind of basics though, it gives me a chance to start twisting and molding things to the way I like it.
I didn't really make this to sell but I I thought I could really play around with the object in some photos and general arrangement. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, considering I really don't know anything about chain mail.
Kind of reminds me of a steampunk rosary.

Woot for Chain Mail!


I think these would go well with the silver Love Tokens...
