Our fascination with steampunk inspired me to design a number of crafts and projects.
I think the steampunk subculture originated in a post-apocalyptic science fiction setting, where the only real life was a few isolated individuals living in a world that seemed perfect for them. A lot of the ideas of steampunk are based on these individuals and their experiences. Like all ideas, there are those that are great and those that are terrible.
I mean, the idea that the only real life is a few isolated individuals living in a world that seems perfect for them is just awesome. I love that idea, and I think there’s definitely a market for it.
The thing is that the steampunk craze is taking over the world and if you don’t understand it, you’re missing out on a whole world of cool. In the early 1900’s there was a movement of people wanting to create and live within the world of steampunk which is essentially a time when steam engines ruled the world and the people lived within the engine’s interior. The idea of living inside a steampunk engine was a lot of fun.
One of those people was Ernest Hemingway. His novel The Open Road was inspired by one of these steampunk engines and took place on a steampunk road. Now this was in the early 1900s so you might expect that this would be the future of all steampunk and you would be correct. But the trend for steampunk in the last decade has been to make it a more and more futuristic style. It’s become a part of pop culture.
I guess that means we are all going to live inside a steampunk motor and then some. But it really isn’t like that. Steampunk isn’t about technology or engineering. It’s about styling. It’s about creating a space that works, that is comfortable, that can be powered by steam. It’s about having a machine that can run itself. It’s about creating a space that can do the things we do. So steampunk is a style. It’s not a technology.
I love how the steampunk crafts are about the most creative and creative. I love that its about being imaginative and creating something that does new things. I love that we cant just sit inside a steampunk motor forever.
While many people have come to love the steampunk style, it’s not the only style with some very interesting and unique designs. There are also all kinds of other steampunk styles, from classic to modern to steampunk to industrial. It’s not about one style, it’s about being able to create a space that is fun and comfortable while also being robust and doing things that we do.
The thing about steampunk is that it is not something you can just walk into and make. You have to be willing to put in some study time and effort to learn how to make things that look amazing. I mean, you can look at a really nice looking table, but if you just walk into it and make something out of scrap wood, it will look like crap, right? That is the fun part of steampunk.
I have been a steampunk collector for a long time now, but I still have not been able to build anything that makes me feel good. I feel like I have to do it all the time. I guess I have a bit of an obsession with craft and I’m always searching for some cool new way to make my desk look good.
