Steampunk costuming?

I posted this in steamfashion as well, but since this is a local project, I figured I might get some good responses here. I am directing a new musical in San Francisco that takes place in a steampunk-esque world - it's a fantasy adventure story about a troupe of traveling actors in a time of war - the given time period on the script is "five years after 'Once Upon A Time'", so it's like ...

Winter 2009 Steampunk Events

... a lovely Halloween. I was too busy studying for my midterm to do anything more than pore over relational algebra, whee. I know some people were at the Way Station but haven't kept up with steamfashion to see if there are any pics from the costume contest and other festivities. After a lively summer and quite a few events in October, there's nothing on our events calendar for the rest of the ...

xposted from Steamfashion on request

Per request from sexymathteacher (owner of the Generator coffee shop) So I did another photoshoot with another great photographer in the Dallas area recently. I'm not in this one but my fashion is. The following shoot is done with my accessories (goggles, necklaces, arm pieces, faerie wings and "leather lung" corset) and my partner's clothes. Photography by Halo: Image Engine, Makeup ...

Fabric Find!

Today's fabric find is from the Fat Quarter Shop , a place I discovered through someone here on steamfashion . The "Be a Man" collection featuring: It's so rare to find fabrics with gears on them. And this one is in a color I don't mind. I wish the price were lower, but it could still be fun to play with!

Hallowe'en in Boston

...: And at this DELECTABLE Accessory shop that I would do ANYTHING to remember the name of near Faneuil Hall: And after that, at the MasSteam Photoshoot, whose pictures I posted earlier.   Thanks for looking!  I've noticed recently that I have entirely neglected to post any of my costumes on Steamfashion in the past... so I may be posting quite a bit more of my past work if it suits.  Ta!

Steampunk Museum

A prime example of why I love Steampunk weapon mods.

God damn. You can take some goofy looking toy gun like this: And turn it into something like this: God damn. Done by this guy http://community.livejournal.com/steamfashion/2184825.html

Great Coat for Neo-Victorians and Steampunks

... hat. Few people make them. The ones I have found are very pricey. No one makes it the way I want it. So I decided to make my own. I found the coat pattern Simplicity # 2517 posted on the Steamfashion board many months ago. BTW, you can get the pattern here: http://www.simplicity.com/p-3069-mens-costumes.aspx The test garment I did was to be made as a light coat for early fall. Instead of ...

So, as some of you may recall, I posted a few days ago asking for help with my Halloween costume. And oh boy, did I get suggestions! So I re-worked my outfit, rounded up some useful items, and at the very last minute realized that I was not a lady explorer after all--I was, in fact, a vampire huntress! I then found my way to The Way Station , where I met all sorts of nice people and ...
