Steampunk Masks and Other Steampunk Diversions



When my second born son turned fifteen he decided to tease me with an idea,
"Mom, could you make me a steampunk mask for my birthday?" 
I told him I couldn't.  That it would be too expensive, that I didn't have enough time, that I had no idea where to start. 

But it was an idea that I couldn't resist.

So I Made a Steampunk Mask.

I got that wonderful golden color using Tattered Angels paints.  You can see more here.

And then came the special case, to carry the box in.

I used a cool radio for the box.  You can see more here.

And finally, more masks.  Since the original turned out kinda cool, I have two more sons who decided they wanted masks.  Only I didn't have a "birthday" deadline.  So the masks became one of those projects that I started and then stopped.

Until another son wanted one.

 Yes that's me, taking steampunk mask selfies and making them look all mysterious...

And then of course, you know I've been on this book making kick.  And I had this idea to create a unique mash-up of genres.  How about Steampunk and Jane Austen?  What if Jane lived in a Steampunk world?  How would that effect her stories.  What would her journal look like?

So Steampunk Jane happened.

And yes.  There will probablly be more steampunk in my future.

To see more of this book check out the video.  It is ridiculously long, I know, but this is a big project and I wanted to share all the details.
