Prissy's headband

Prissy made a headband to go with one of her costumes for the upcoming Ohayocon.  Here are a couple pics to inspire your creativity!

18 days to Ohayocon

Hello!  Bella here.  Prissy and I are busy finalizing our costumes for Ohayocon 2011.  I'm working on a costume that is a bit punked Steampunk.  A least that's how I see it.  Here are a couple pics.  You'll get to see the finished version after Ohayocon.  I have the costume pinned to a dressform.  So, that's why it's all red underneath. 

Of course, I'll be wearing a black cami under the lace tank.  I'm not going into the risque` Steampunk world!

The Making of a Ray Gun by Cyrus Vance

Creating your own gun is actually easier than it looks.  You can start simple with just paint.  Or, you can work your way up to something more extravagant by adding embellishments.  In this picture you see a painted gun after it has been dry brushed with metallic paint.

B. O. S. S.

I wanted to introduce you to Cyrus Vance.  Cyrus is also new to Steampunk, but he is not messing around.  Hence, the title--B.O.S.S. {Brothers of Serious Steam}.  Cyrus has only been at it for a few weeks, but he has already created ray guns and goggles!  Can't wait to see his entire costume.  Here's a sneak peek of one of his creations. 

SP necklace by Bella Gunne

Pris and I wanted to share pictures of the necklaces we bought while at the Ohio Renaissance Festival.  This is the picture of my necklace.  These are handmade.  So each one is a little bit different.  You can get your own at Brazin Lady. 

Steaming at the Renaissance Faire by Bella Gunne

This past weekend, Prissy, Cyrus and I were lucky to attend the Ohio Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg, Ohio.  While, we were in Renaissance fashions this weekend, we were amazed at how many people were in Steampunk style.  Here are some pics from the weekend.

Mike Branem from Griffin Works Leather.  Everything Mike is wearing {except the hat and boots} came from Griffin Works!  Check them out here   http://www.griffinworksleather.com/

Here's JoAnn selling cool refreshments on a very warm weekend.  Love her goggles!

And a few more Steamers....

Lapel Pin

I have been tinkering with gadgets trying to make a lapel pin in steampunk style.  I have learned that with Fusion spray paint...you can paint anything! 

I started with 2 lapel pins purchased at Goodwill.

Then, I spray painted both of them.

Using E6000 I glued the guts of a watch to a gear.  Then, I attached it to one of the leaf pins.

Here is the completed pin on my jacket.

Note the gears I also glued to the buttons!
