I fell in love with steampunk when I became friends with Mary Vogel Lozinak (a wonderful multimedia artist). She sparked my interest and I just had to start creating. Steampunk mixes fantasy with gears, watches, hot air balloons and zeppelins, keys and lots of industrial bits and pieces. Anything goes.

So I decided to give it a try. I loved how the first piece came I try to create pieces with some new and old broken pieces of watches, shapes and jewelry bits and pieces…giving new life to something that had been tossed aside.. Shop.

I mainly use E-6000 glue to hold it all the pieces together. It takes a while to dry but when it does it is very strong. I love the way it looks when the final piece is finished. Then I’m excited to make something else. I have changed my view on old and new things when they break. I can't wait to take them apart to see what things I can make with them! Give steampunk a try you never know, it might worm its way into your heart and creativity. You will start to look at 'junk' in a new light. Recycling has never been this much fun!

As always recycle, reduce, reuse

Going through my love for Octopus!
