I'm debating if i should create another blogg for my steampunk alter ego and my creation process. Something more accessible then dreamwidth is.
Part of my problem was find a set of goggles i could wear over my glasses. I just finished a set of clip-ons fabricated from copper wire. They are quite striking when i wear them. I think with the right gas mask and top hat it will look pretty creepy.

I've also found a good set of wielding goggles with flip-up lenses i intend to work on next. I think i can make some cool mods to them.
Need to find a good hat. Costume shop hats have been way over priced and poor fits. the best i've found so far has been at spencer's gifts for $24. Eventually I intend to make make my own out of leather. Ideally i'd like to find one like Johnny Depp wore in dead man. It's short enough that i could wear it regularly with out attracting to much attention.

Found a small sewing machine at a thrift store for $7. I intend to learn some basic sewing. On the same trip i found some ankle high men's boots shiny and black with a big buckle on the side. They also have a 2 inch heel which i am not used to at all. I'm debating if i could stand to wear them through a con.
