Art that I Aspire to Admire.....

I have been finding lately that a lot of the art that is catching my attention falls into the category of "Steampunk"  But what IS steampunk you might ask- as I did not too long ago......Steampunk is "Various modern utilitarian objects which have been modded by enthusiasts into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical style.Example objects include computer keyboards and electric guitars. The goal of such redesigns is to employ appropriate materials (such as polished brass, iron, and wood) with design elements and craftsmanship consistent with the Victorian era." excerpt from Wikipedia defining Steampunk as an art genre
Whatever else it may be, I find it intriging.
Here are some examples of Steampunk as found on Etsy:

 "Reliquary Assemblage Necklace" created by Metal Corset


"Time Traveler's Bracelet" by Bellota26

"Dreams of Flight "by Galerie Deilluminata


"Indigo Sparrow" by Cerulean Gypsy

"The Metamorphosis" by Xirconnia

So, there you have it, a small sampling of art created in the genre of "Steampunk"  Hope you enjoyed it, I find it thrilling, myself.
Cheers,
Stephanie
