Welcome to Wednesday Coffee Hour. Normally the lovely Blue Jessamine does today but I got a note from her that she is really ill and asked if I would step in. Please send prayers, good wishes, healing vibes her way so that she will feel better soon. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you.
I have a lot of friends who are into steampunk. This is a sub genre of science fiction that generally takes place around Victorian times in an alternate reality where steam powered machinery is in use. Jules Verne and H.G. Wells stories feature the type of machinery that would be classified as steampunk. The television show The Wild, Wild West is considered to be steampunk. This is a simplification of steampunk and there is a great deal more information to be found on the web.
Recently friends asked about my branching off my jewelry designs into the steampunk milieu. This is my first design for steampunk and it is for sale. It is a one of the kind as I rarely ever duplicate my work. I had the wonderful help of Pixie. Take a look at that little face and I'm sure you can guess just how much "help" she was. I had to work on my bed as my brother isn't feeling well and went to bed early. He is still sleeping on the living room couch at my place. I am still setting his place up and he really hasn't been well enough to be on his own. The kitchen table where I normally worked would mean light disturbing him and I didn't want to do that.
I have supplies to make several other steampunk inspired necklaces and earrings. As always my little helper will be as little help as you can imagine. I wouldn't want her any other way. After all she has the name of Pixie to live up to.
My Little Helper, Pixie
