We Meet at the Bazaar

This saturday This is what we looked like.
That little coat was found on friday at the last moment as there was no time to go back and get changed for the boat and it worked out really well for saturday as well.

Images quite randomly stolen from this blog, it's a store front in Sweden. Aww, isn't this the cutest? I feel all Christmas-y!

Oh, happy Thanksgiving to you Americans! :)

or as I call it, Happy thank the natives for not letting us starve to death and then trying to wipe them off the face of the planet day.
Not much to say. My days are pretty much the same, Avery, school, Avery, school. Life is good and I am happy for the most part. I have a great mom and a wonderful family I made for myself. Avery is now 9 months old. He army crawls, can pull himself up to stand, he says mom-mom, dada, and nana (my mom). He is 16.6 lbs and 27 inches tall. Everyday with him is something new and it makes me feel hopeful about things again.
I hope you are all great and happy and pig out tomorrow! I already made pumpkin cheesecakes and apple pies! Leave me your address in my inbox if you want a holiday card.

Thank you, whoever you are. I feel much better! :)

It's been too long since we've had some art around here... but a monthlong book tour will do that to you. So in honor of the holiday, how about a little surprise look at something that's just recently gone up on the wall?

A black heart-shaped bag, embroidered with a silver spiderweb. (clicky-link!) Curse you, Topshop!

You see, since most of my wardrobe is devoid of pockets, I have a small velvet purse (a little girl's purse, actually) that is attached to a length of ribbon. I wear that around my waist, so it sits around hip level on my skirts. I keep my iPod and iPhone in it during the day at work. But that web heart bag is verrrrry tempting to used for the same purpose.

Do I need it? No. But it's very pretty.

I don't really have much to post about, right now. Work is work. Weather is crappy.

The other night Kat and I saw two different deer, at different times, in the exact same spot.

My work gave out turkeys to all employees. I took the smallest one there... 20.7 pounds. Guess we'll be having lots of leftover turkey after Thanksgiving.

Tomorrow Kat will be making the Thanksgiving feast. Her mom will be with us. My mom, on the other hand, has decided to spend the day with one of her friends.

I'm feeling rather blah about everything. Definitely not in the holiday spirit, yet. Speaking of the holiday spirit, who would like a card from me this year? Comments will be screened, so leave your name and address. :)

Though it's not quite complete yet (there's always room for improvement!), here's my steamy newspaper reporter outfit that I wore for Windycon.

( Pics and description beneath the cut )

By the way, everyone looked amazing at Windycon! I was totally blown away by all your great costumes. Next time I won't be so shy and I'll take more pictures!

new mission: make lots of money by may.

dive!!!, chemlab, 16volt, fixmer/mccarthy...this is actually the first kinetik lineup i've been really excited about.

does anyone know if dive is planning on doing any US shows? i know chemlab and 16volt are.

i have a bash script that needs to ssh in to a machine and restart networking, which will result in the machine coming back with a new IP, thus disconnecting ssh.

is there any sane way to do this? my inclination is to find some way to just have the thing exit after a certain number of seconds, but i suspect there's a cleaner way.

We were asked by a representative of the Woodland Park Zoo, here in Seattle to do a photo shoot in their Rainforest exhibit to promote a class they are doing in January. The shoot was quite fun. The resulting poster from our photo safari at Woodland Park Zoo.

Ok, so getting dumped yesterday was random. Especially since Sam & I agreed to wait until Monday to decide. And a few nights ago he made grand promises to take care of me until the very end....of my 12 month lease. Sweet little nothings like "As long as we're together, you will never be...evicted." Those are what a girl wants, but not how she wants to hear them necessarily. And those promises are empty if you leave the girl 48 hours later. And the promise that matters most is the one we agreed on from the start "I will spend 7 days thinking about a break-up before I act." Good-bye to Sam. And, to be blunt, good-bye to constant nausea and worry. I never realized for sick I felt (psychosomatic physical response) until he said "Good-bye. It was nice while it lasted." I felt like dancing and singing. My body felt 10 pounds lighter (at least). He was some one I loved, someone I hoped to marry. But it turns out it wasn't the right path for me. And I am glad.

I've just recently landed myself in steampunk-verse, though I have come across some steampunk elements in my BJD and lolita circles earlier. Before I start seeking and hoarding clothes and items ~~and gutting old watches for parts XD~~, I would like to ask some questions. Hope you folks can help me out!

( Questions, questions... )

Much thanks in advance! If someone has already asked similar questions that have been answered, please direct me to those, too.

Hey all! I'm new to the community. I've been working on a project I figure might be of interest to some of you :)

Back in July/August I teamed up with a writer I know, and we put together an entry for Zuda.com (DC Comics' webcomic imprint)-- our comic IN MAPS & LEGENDS was accepted and it's been running in the November competition for a few weeks now!

Basically, if our webcomic comes in first place (they count votes, ratings, favorites, views & comments), we get a contract to continue the story. All that good stuff. We’ve already got our foot in the door, getting this far, but at this point it’s up to voters (and anyone you can pass it on to~) to keep us at #1. So far there has been a LOT of hand-wringing this month. (You can check out the current rankings here. It's been a tight, tense race so far.)

Here’s a quick run-down of our story:
Kait doesn't know why she gets up in the middle of the night to carve a map onto the wall of the spare room of her apartment. Before she can finish it, though, a strange man named Bartamus shows up at her place in the middle of a wintry night, claiming to be from another, dying world that desperately needs Kait’s help.

So if you like curvy girls who glare a lot, maps, and the potential for some major steampunk, take a look! (check out the airships in the background of the last page-- there'll be a lot more of that if we win!)

If you haven't voted at Zuda before, I know the site can be confusing, so I put together a quick image tutorial on how to vote. Hope that helps.

The competition only lasts for November, so please vote before the month is out! I've been posting extra art and teasers at my site, too: http://www.niki-smith.com/
Thank you in advance! Spread the word! Let's win this!

Zuda's currently serializing another steampunk title too, called SIDEWISE-- check that out while you're there.

Hi All,

I'm a long time lurker who finally up and joined. I'd like to share my (incredibly cheap and quick) iPod case modification. I tried to go for the handmade look by crinkling the foil as I pressed it down. I think that may have been a mistake. Once the glues dry I'll put it all together and post a followup pic if people are interested. Any comments are welcome!

Materials:
Acrylic iPod Case $15
Brass Foil Tape $5
Scraps of Faux-Leather FREE
Scrap Plastic Gears (spray painted bronze) FREE
Random old car headlight FREE
Gear Medallion from Michaels $3

been a while since I posted anything steampunk inspired so I thought I would post a few of my new pieces. The first four are Steampunk bugs that I made out of paperclay. On the back I added a pin back so that they can be worn on a shirt or jacket but I also left the antenna with loops at the end so that jump rings could be added to the end and they could be worn as pendants. Each one is made by pressing watch parts into the clay then latter painting them, some parts of the bugs are sealed in a glossy finish and some are in a matte finish.

I think that these are pretty nice looking for a utility pouch for your belt, and the design, along with the old-style latches lands this firmly within the steamy category. The pouch is actually for a pack of smokes and a cellphone, but I could see these being use for all sorts of things, including my blackberry (which is a pain in the ass to carry around in costume).

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for an affordable (under $200) Steampunk styled suitjacket for my boyfriend that I can get delivered to me (in Detroit) by X-Mas. He is really interested in the US "Wild West" side of the style, and is a tall and of larger build. I would need a generous 1X or a 2X. Can you give me suggestions of reputable, good quality ateliers that I should check out? I don't have time to order something and have it not work out! Thanks in advance!

Hello my loves!

Long time, no post, but now I come to you in my hour of need: for my costume class at school, we are doing "An Enemy of the People" which takes place in Victorian Norway. I have been looking, but there does not seem to be much information on the internet about the costumes of the era... does anyone have any links or info? I would really appreciate it!

My previous project was designing a circus, and of course mine was Steampunk themed! I'll post the pictures just as soon as I can get them scanned.

Thanks, all!

Hello all,

Vernian Process is proud to announce the pre-release version of our album "Behold the Machine". Featuring 14 tracks of Steamwave goodness. At this time, the album will only be available in digital download format but the download is free. The pre-release mix will differ only in a few minor ways from the final mix. For one, we haven't completely mastered the album, and a few songs need some minor tweaks to sound the way we intended them to. But other than that, this is pretty damn close to what the final album is going to sound like.

Download Here!!
