Steampunk Owl

I've been doing a lot of experimenting recently.  And I'm not sure where I'm going with it yet.  But here is one of my first attempts at making some sort of clockwork gears encased inside of an owl bead.  I used little metal pieces on other parts of him too.  His beak is made from a little screw and he has brass leaf findings on his wings for additional feathers. I used silvered ivory, hoping to tie the look together, but it might be too much.

I like the concept, but I think it doesn't quite have the look that I'm trying for yet.  Not sure where it will evolve.  I'd appreciate your comments- ideas and suggestions.

James Corbett's Cool Steampunk Sculptures

There is something about the Steampunk style that entrances me.  I don't know if it's the combination of odd pieces that make up the whole, or whether it's trying to figure out, whether I could make something cool out of some of our odd pieces of garage fragments that would fit the style.  It's been around for awhile and I keep thinking this phase should be over.  But I guess others enjoy it still too.

This owl sculpture is amazing.  James Corbett is the artist and you can find more wonderful pieces here.

Steampunk'd Computer

Okay, so it isn't really punk'd- but it's a pretty cool version of Steampunk Style...
I saw this computer retrofit by Old Time Computer on Etsy. And actually he's adding more eras and styles to his repertoire. You can also find out more info here.

It reminds me of a line of song in All That Jazz..."everything old is new again".

Let me know what you think. Do you like it? I find it delightful.
