A friend just called me and told me about this site. It looks to be affiliated with eBay, but is all Steampunk stuff, and the prices seem a lot cheaper than those I've seen on eBay. There is also a sidebar blog site with lots of other links and info. Very kewl. :rolleyes:

Waaay too cool!! That totally made my day!! I've been out of the industry for a bit, but I have to say that person has talent!! I love the work!!

BTW: forget about wasting the images on starwars... he should just run with his images and make his own storyline!!

Great find darlin!!

I came upon this while doing research and have yet to make it through the list of sites. It seemed a rather nice gathering of vendors. Enjoy!

I might have to break down and buy one of these...

In my usual bout of sleeplesness I have found a new place for those of you "punking" in or near LA

with areas called The lab, the generator lounge and the tesla lounge.

A steampunk style lounge/restaurant set in a 20's era actual powerplant with the original generators and some way cool furniture in place. What a great place for photos, to hang out or if you surf their site some inspiration..

Why does the East coast never catch up?

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

Her reputation was her livelihood.

I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice!

My inner voice sometimes has an accent!

My wont? A delicious rip in time...

I've gotta find some of that metallic fondant paint. I'm not interested in making a tiered cake, but just one of those layers would be a blast to try my hand at crafting. Any suggestions on where I could get my hands on that paint?

These cakes are pretty cool, too - check out the last one:

I would think any place that sells cake decorating supplies might have it, or could maybe order it for you. It would be kewl to do one layer cake that looked like a big cog or gear, with rivets.

I'll see your sugarcraft site and raise you one Layer cake shop. (Check out the tiki sugars!)

Ooh! Very nice!

I'll see your sugar tikis and raise you:

Mexican Sugar Skulls

Great site. Hmmm, I wonder if I could use the small molds to make Sculpy Clay medallions? Hmmmmm, hmmmmmm one mold for sugar skulls, one mold for jewelry?

Actually, I was thinking of heading to the local Mexican market this week, to see if they had any Day of the Dead stuff left.
