World Steam Expo Fantasy Pirate

Prissy and Bella are busy working on creating a sort of Fantasy Pirate costume for the World Steam Expo.  This jacket started as a $6 purchase from Goodwill.  The collar was turned inward and sewn down to give it the mandarin-type collar. 

Next buttons were sewn on.  As well as black lace trim to the cuffs.

Steampunk Pirate Eye Patch

Here's an in-process picture of the Pirate's eye patch Bella is working on. 

The eyeball is being held in the mono-goggle using Crayola Model Magic no bake clay.  The mono-goggle was made by taking apart a pair of welding goggles.  The strap was changed to a solid black elastic.  Finally, the exterior of the goggle was dry brushed with silver. 

The Bee's Knees Part 3

Here's another in-process picture of the Steampunk knee pad Bella is creating.

And finally the finished piece. 

The Bee's Knees part 2

I removed the Rollerblade label from the knee pads using a seam ripper.  Then, I used Rub N' Buf in silver to paint the hard plastic part of the knee pad.   Be sure to let this dry for at least 24 hours....

The Bee's Knees

Or Bella's Steampunk interpretation.....starting with a pair of Rollerblade kneepads found at Goodwill.



Bringing Out the Big Guns part 3

Here's a teaser picture of the nearly finished gun.  Look us up at the World Steam Expo to see the whole gun!

The faucet knob on the top was purchased at Small Studio.  Do you recognize the tiny thread spool? 

Bringing Out the Big Gun part 2

Here's the gun after it was painted with the Krylon Fusion paint.

Here's the gun with a little bit of dry brushing and a couple gadgets added.

I used the painters tape to hold the gadget in place while the glue was drying.
