Smashing Steampunk Iron Man Pocket Watch



This smashing steampunk Iron Man pocket watch design is by Adi Simon. I love the little gaps in the casing showing off various gears, and of course that glowing heart. The jewel of a steampunk sophisticate's fashion ensemble.

Graphic Stereoview of the Giant Redwood,
Pluto's Chimney

Thomas Houseworth & Co. Mammoth Trees. 905.
Pluto’s Chimney, burnt up a distance of 90 feet,
Mammoth Grove, Calaveras County. VG.
One half of a "stereoview" of what looks to be a giant Redwood or a Sequoia tree. I just thought the image was beautiful, the red corners giving it a mod, graphic feel, despite the age of the original item.

I originally found just this one image somewhere on Flickr  while perusing public domain images for my digital collage art, but then found it again including a few more stereoview tree pictures and many more stereoview images on Jeffrey Kraus' Antique Photographics blog. It's well worth the visit, if you enjoy that sort of thing, and the blog also features CDVS and daguerreotypes, etc.

Victorian Folding Coat-Hat Rack ~ Perfect for any Steampunk purpose.


A beautiful victorian hat rack that could be used for steampunk sculpture or.. just hats. This would make the entryway of my house look amazing, but, I keep seeing it as upside down to make terrific victorian insect-like legs for some kind of steampunk robotic creature. The possibilities boggle.

Oh! ..and hold on to your hat, it's only $29.99.

I say, these are proper headphones, wot wot?


I say, now these are proper headphones, what what? Harris Tweed headphones. Yes please.~ chokes on bad british accent.
(Not to mention they'll match your 11th Doctor cosplay outfit..) 

"Traditionally the material of a well-dressed man's winter jacket, headphone honchos Urbanears have teamed up with the storied Scottish mill to take your tweed slightly further north."
