Steampunk

These are some fun objects I'm working on. This is my interpretation of steampunk style. Steampunk is the anti cyberpunk, focusing on the Victoriana, industrial revolution and the mechanical. The style is also encourages the over engineered functionality of an implement. The best thing abou this counter-culture movement is the idea of Do-It-Yourself aka DIY. There is an appreciation for the handmade too! These are in process, with much more to come.
The magnifying glass handle with finger holder. I'm working on a arm that comes off of the lens frame that houses another, smaller lens for extra magnification.





This pipe is intended to be used with blowing bubbles, not tobacco. I'm working on a lid that can hook to the cup for when in use, and a mouthpiece.
