Adventures in History

We had an amazing time at the Victorian Fete this morning. Were very excited (and a little nervous) to have our first stall ever ... but it was lovely to be able to talk to people about our work. Thank you so much to everyone who has taken an interest!


The morning was sunny, and the amazing costumes and stalls made the atmosphere great. Unfortunately about 1:30pm it began to bucket down rain! We made some rescue runs to the car with our gear, bur quite a bit got wet (I fear that our carefully painted sign is irrepairably damaged!) We ourselves got particularly wet... it turns out that victorian skirts aren't made for dashing through puddles!

We also enjoyed meeting some local Steam-ers, and got a big buzz from seeing our jewellery displayed in the AWESOME steampunk exhibition in the Forrester gallery. They have some incredible steampunk art - well worth a look

The Victorian Fete

We have been steampunking up a storm in the last few days! We now have over 90 unique jewellery items to take to the Oamaru Victorian Fete this weekend.

We are VERY excited to don our costumes, and sell our wares! Also excited to meet up with a few fantastic steampunkers from the bustling Oamaru community, including Prof Damotimus Tipotus who is opening his steampunk gallery ('The Libratory') tomorrow! We are planning to have items in The Libratory (both for sale and display) very soon.

For Olivia

This is the piece I made for my beautiful sister-in-law, whose 21st birthday was just a few weeks ago:
