I think I might make a trip to Bohemian Crystal at the fabric district first though. They have a ton of jewelry parts for dirt cheap (including some cameos and a gob of assorted brassy things), and I'm betting that the jewelry district might even have some clock gears by the pound or something.

So, first we need a trip downtown, then a night for making the goods!

Oh, and apparently, that gear clock is also available at Target:
Clock

And who would have thought that JCPenney actually has something cool:
Clock Set

F'ing awesome. Though I appreciate the keyboard more than the monitor myself.

Though I do find myself conflicted with design for designs stake, adding nothing practical in the execution and in many ways impacting the functionality of the original design detrimentally. Hmm internal conflict on this one will not be quickly resolved.

Retrofitting in reverse is certainly a form over function enterprise, but as works of techno-art I stand impressed. It will be interesting to see how the movement progresses. Perhaps some of the I.D. issues will be tackled to improve the overall functionality.

A can of Mr. Pibb sitting on my USB beverage cooler kind of spoils the mood of a steampunk case and monitor.

So mod the beverage cooler

I just recently reconnected with a friend from years ago via LJ, and he's involved in local steampunk/victoriana stuff. Yay croquet this spring! Now I just need something to wear...
