Let’s Explore Steampunk
by Christie Bryant
“Imagine a world where electricity never became viable. Where Tesla never experimented and
Einstein stayed a patent clerk. Take Victorian sensibility, with mad-scientist speculation and
inject a bit of sci-fi. A world powered by steam and gears where flight is through the majestic
zeppelin and brass is more populace than steel. “– Min [Tribe Forum]
What happens when one mixes art, science fiction, steam power, and the Victorian era with
the technology of the 19th century? The answer: Steampunk.
Steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used, that incorporates
prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature
futuristic innovations as Victorian’s may have envisioned them.
Steampunk is often based on science fiction ideas. For instance, the books written by H.G.Wells,
The Time Machine, or Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Wells envisioned
a time machine based on steam power, something that to this day does not exist. Verne wrote
about space, air and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. Like the art of Steampunk,
the fictional machines in these stories offered an alternate history.
When you create a project “steampunk- style”, think of futuristic technology implemented into
the Victorian era. Think of metal, big bolts, and gears mixed with the Victorian perspective on
fashion, culture, architectural style and art; think of what x-ray goggles would look like if they
were invented back when steam was the primary source of power. What if a computer was
invented in the Victorian era? What would the keyboard look like? What kind of clothes would
you wear when you took off in your steam-powered flying machine? Try your hand at creating
something steampunk-style, the possibilities are endless.
Steampunk has made it’s way into several of the crafting industries, including paper crafting!
Tim Holtz is the grandfather of the industrial look, along with our own, Candy Rosenberg. Over
the years, Candy’s steampunk inspired artwork has been integral in introducing the “Steampunk” genre into mainstream crafting. It is a fun theme to work with in which “anything goes”
as long as it is industrial, which allows us to be as creative as we want and still fit it within
the theme.
In this issue, our talented designers take us on a steamie stroll using theme inspired products from Stanislaus Imports, The Rubber Cafe, Graphic 45, BoBunny Press and Imaginarium
Designs.

6. Now the fun part--embellishing! Begin
by placing Stanislaus metal gears around
the map paper in a pattern that implies
the gears are turning the globes on the
paper (making the world go ‘round). Before sticking the gears into the styrofoam,
place a small amount of glue on the end of
the gear spindle for added stability.
7. Next, using Glue Arts “Extreme Adhesive
Squares (Micro)”, adhere the Stanislaus
heart watch locket to the center of the
framed paper.

the Steampunk couple from Graphic 45

paper.
9. Adhere the couple to the bottom right corner of the frame.

10. Continue embellishing with butterflies (cut from Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante “Time
Flies”), American Crafts Thickers and other alpha stickers to spell your sentiment. Place a
tiny clock face in the center of the open side of the heart locket, also cut from Graphic 45
Steampunk Debutante “Time Flies”.

11. Create a hanger for the frame by gluing a strip of lace to each top side of the back of the
frame. A thin layer of Beacon Adhesives “3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue” will hold this very
securely.
11
12. For added stability, cut a strip of cardstock or paper and glue on top of the lace. Allow to
dry thoroughly (about 10 minutes) before hanging.

Ami created this fun home decor item
from pieces of cardboard and styrofoam. She glued patterned paper to
the bottom cardboard piece and tissue
paper to the upper styrofoam piece. She
whitewashed the patterned paper and
distressed the tissue paper with ink and
paint. She then stamped the corsets and
popped each of them up on a small
piece of styrofoam for dimension.

“Dress Form Card” Tutorial, Continued
Instructions
1. Select light colored cardstock and ink the “Steampunk Charity Wings” dress form stamp
with dark pink ink. Stamp the dark pink dress form and then without re-inking, stamp again
to get a light pink dress form. Repeat with black ink to get various shades of gray. Stamp an
area larger than the card you will be making so you can trim the edges.To further distress,
spray a few splotches of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist “Creme de Chocolat”.
2. Repeat the color technique, this time using the “Steampunk Charity Wings” sprocket image
and steampunk sentiment.
1
2
3. Color in a few of the dress forms with Copic markers. To create designs, use the Copic Colorless Blender to make dots or stripes.
4. Cut stamped panel to measure 4”x6” in order to fit a card base of 5”x7” and ink around edges.
Ink the sentiment from “Be Stylish” in dark pink and then ink a few spots with black before
stamping the sentiment. Trim sentiment and ink around edges before adhering to panel.
5. Wrap thin wire around panel, adhering it on the back with “Adhesive Squares.” Apply pearls to
the middle of sprocket images and apply the panel to the card base with Zip Dry adhesive.
