Sunday Sketching (with some steampunkery) -

Sleepy sketch today - after a weekend of steampunking...

Justin and I spent Saturday at Seattle's second annual steampunk convention (Steamcon II).  We stayed up way late the night before making accessories to wear -

I made a stacked ring (like my sister makes with buttons -left), and key-earrings (which were very heavy! My ears aren't used to that much weight).

Here's my bracelet -

-my pendant - which I hung on my pass. I had collaged it with a larger key and padlock, which fell off sometime during... :-( sad. I loved that key...

My modified penny-farthing broach...

-and I borrowed Justin's top hat - which I adorned with found and built hat pins, and a 'clockwork poppy', also courtesy of my sister... Twas just fripperies - and nothing compared to what the majority were wearing, but that will have to wait until tomorrow...

Figure Friday - Galubrious-style...

Once upon a time, there was a brilliant, albeit eccentric researcher named Doctor Galubrious. He traveled throughout the Victorian-era and steampunked-flavored countryside, accompanied by his beautiful and talented daughters. According to his dairies, their mission (amongst other things):

The goal of the team is to document for science and lend aid to those in need of assistance in dealing with magical creatures. The Galubrious team specializes in fairies, but are experienced in dealings with boggarts, gnomes, banshees, grindylow, dugbogs, pixies, porlock, and merpeople.

Your figures for today include Lenore:

And Lucia:

[And as a sideline, the girls (who are also known as my fairy nieces) also seem to provide compulsory modeling services for a reclusive, website-less creative who is dabbling in steampunky floral ornaments. Whilst there is no website presence, occasionally you can find them on ebay]:

(I was lucky enough to score this mermaid/button/clock-gear floral pin for my birthday!)

Have a most Galubrious Friday!
