ReplyDeleteGotta love steampunk. I've never thought of a steampunk cell phone corset *humm.* Great post!
ReplyDeletePS: I just finished looking through "Steampunk-Style Jewelry" by Jean Campbell (published Jan. 1, 2010). It spotlights select jewelry (and how to make them) as well as interesting mini-articles on the history of steampunk, steampunk music, etc. Definitely worth it for the pictures.
Oh! The cell phone corsets are too funny. Great collection, V!
