New Etsy Listing: Adventuring Portable Telegraph Bracer

Brand new listing up on TheEmporiumMechanica! This is a personal favourite of mine as it really showcases the fantastical imagination that goes along with steampunk.

New Etsy Listing: Clockwork Oddments Charm Bracelet

Check out the new listing in my Etsy shop: Clockwork Oddments Charm Bracelet.

Check Out My Etsy Shop!

Today I launched my very first Etsy shop, TheEmporiumMechanica. There aren't a lot of items up as of now, but more are in the making. The main theme of the shop is steampunk jewellery and "inventions" (non-functioning items of fantastical imagination), but I also plan on making hair accessories and items of gothic design (made with lots of black lace, yay!). So far, I have listed the gear ring and the screw earrings I made and posted about previously.

I will make posts of any new listings in my shop as a special heads-up for all of my fabulous followers. Remember to favourite anything you like!

Wires and Clasps: Jewellery Making!

I've always wanted to make jewellery, but have no experience with it. I do plan on taking some classes at my university, but until then I've been dabbling in it on my own. My sister used to make jewellery so I know some basics already.

The theme of my jewellery is steampunk. I've always really enjoyed taking random things apart (not much luck in putting them back together...) and I find the innards of machinery and electronic devices beautiful. I also love steampunk (probably since it combines scifi, Victorian era/history, and machines all together) so that seemed to be a great fit. I've only made a few pieces right now (some are much better than others) but if I make enough pieces I might open up an Etsy store and see how that goes. All the pieces I make are one of a kind (at least for now) and handmade. The jewellery is either metal or plastic (which I paint in metallics, sometimes I paint the metal to highlight and diversify).

This is the first piece I made. It's ok, but not my favourite. The pendant of the necklace is a speaker that I removed from some crappy portable speakers I had.

My favourite piece so far. It's a ring made from two gears I found while breaking apart a music box. The ring base is from Michael's.

These earrings are just three chains I linked together and stuck screws into. I had all these extra screws lying about and didn't know what else to do with them. I think these turned out quite well.

I absolutely love chokers so I made this. I love it a lot. Like the other necklace, this is made from a speaker (same set of speakers, actually), except I removed the dust cap on this one.

So that's my jewellery! What do you all think? Esty worthy?
