Steampunk Cleopatra Revisited - Winged Scarab Necklace with Egyptian Coil Links

2009-09-04T19:07:04Z

Steampunk Cleopatra 2 finished 3 September, 2009 My second necklace of this design, this time in copper. I incorporated Egyptian Coil links into the chain for this necklace, but made the coils more open and wrapped them with many feet of hair-thin wire, seed beads and watch parts to tie the design elements to the scarab pendant.

Time Key No. 1

2009-08-20T01:44:31Z

This unique time travel key was hand crafted out of sterling and copper wire (both highly conductive), amethyst crystal, and gears and mechanisms, to make a time key that is both beautiful and functional. The key measures just under 4 inches in length and has a copper wrapped silver loop on the top to hang it as a pendant, when not being used to travel in time.

Babbage's Calculationg engine in contemporary 1855 fiction.

2009-06-10T07:09:33Z

This is a scan from an original 1855 installment of Charles Dickens's _Little Dorrit. It is a bit dark as this cut was tinted with a black toned overwash. This is the full illustration showing what looks like the factory where Babbege's Difference engine was constructed. The shadows in the center back, (hard to see in the scan) show the characteristic L shaped tower on the left of DE 1. The printing unit would be in the center mid foreground. Note that the machine was said to be 70 percent completed when the funding was cut. Eventually the materials were returned to Babbage and his heirs. Most of the parts (then the most precice ever manufactured) were melted down by Babbage's son Henry. What was not melted were donated to museums or taken with Henry when he emigrated to Australia after his father's death. Henry is an interesting person in his own right, a member of the ordinance survey he was amoung the first to map India and Australia. He also worked to complete his fathers efforts making a working four function calculator, based on principles of the Analytical engine arguably proving his father correct. Alas, most historians consider this a dead end as others made more practical adding machines in the early 20th century. Difference engine copies, are now In the London Science museum, and Private collections and look much like what is shown in this contemporary engraving of 1855.

This is a scan from an original 1855 installment of Charles Dickens's _Little Dorrit. This detail is enlarged to show the cams which are identical to those built for the Difference engine copies, In the London Science museum, and Private collections.

When being on a faire, I don't want to have a difficult costume to drag around with me, so I went simple. Made the pants myself, that was much work!

All-Seeing Eye - Wire Wrapped Steampunk Pendant

2009-05-29T01:55:10Z

28 May, 2009 The eye in my last piece got me thinking about the all-seeing eye on the pyramid, and the idea for this steampunk pendant was born. the frame is hand forged and hammered out of heavy sterling wire, then wrapped with many feet of fine silver wire, watch gears, and faceted gemstones. The rays eminating from the eye shoot away from the top of the pyramid pendant, and curls of wire wrapped filigree swirl in the vertices of the isosceles triangle frame. The pendant is 1-1/2 inches in length, and hangs from a sterling silver rolo chain, with a section of double-eight chain wrapped onto on the end for adjustability. It adjusts from 18-20-1/2 inches, and a heart-shaped, faceted blue tourmaline adorns the end of the chain.

Steampunk Cleopatra

2009-04-09T15:22:28Z

Steampunk Cleopatra - finished 8 April, 2009 This is my first steampunk piece, one of many to come. The theme is Tempus Fugit - time flies. The necklace is a stylized scarab with wire wrapped filigree wings. Tiny gears and jewels range along the bottom of the wings, and the Swiss clockwork body makes the body of the scarab. The wing span is 3 inches, and it is wrapped with over 14 feet of fine silver wire.
