So lately I have been finding myself stragling back to DA for inspiration, and its certainly working. Fuelling my batteries and giving me ideas of fun projects to work on. Ive been looking at artisan crafts alot lately, and primarily steampunk stuff. Now I have realized that there is a huge difference between the levels of work and skill that get put into some o the work thats shown online for 'steampunk' items. It seems that some of the items listed as steampunk are merely clocks or some random piece of costume that is convereted by adding some plastic parts and spraypainting them metal. And their is on the other hand true works of art that are influenced highly by the style and propel my interests, I hope to find more of the later.

I think though that I want to go to a steampunk convention, check out what some people are doing in real life and what that community is all about. It seems like it might be a fun adventure into an unknown subculture.
