Steampunk Bag And Other Stuff

[Jazznow]

Hi folks,

just wanted to show off my new Steampunk bag and some other stuff.

SP bag is biggest thing i ever made and carved all around. was some heavy work I'm not entirely happy with it, but it turned out ok. espeacially when you know that there was edge kote spilled over the front lol

The Steampunk belt is for myself, it got that fancy buckle you can buy from tandy. very nice toy but quality is not very good. i used it every day for two weeks or so and of course i played with the movable gears, but they already start to losen. Other prob is, that the antique comes of in the beveled lines. never had that before. maybe because i used a plain beveler not one with texture? Any ideas?

The plain red is made to order for my mum. i like this crossing beltloop.

I ordered three different belt blanks from tandy to see their quality, So one was spare. I made the last belt out of it and will see if i can sell it for special price, because quality of this belt blank was not very good.

The wristband i made out of a piece of leather that was lying around.

Thanks for having a look, i appreciate any hints to get better.

Pretty interesting, looks nice

I notice some fuzzies on the edges of the bag. They need to be slicked down and burnished.

well done..

You've obviously put a lot of thought and effort into this lot, well done.

Thank you guys.its been a lot of work indeed

@tom: I will burnish the edges one more time. I wasnt paying enough attention to it... After I spilled the edge dye about the bag, I only wanted to finish that damn thing and did the remaining parts very fast... No good idea lol

Have a nice evening

no worry much about the spilled black....from where i sit , it adds a kind of "old used" stuff aspect

even if some things need to be improved, i really like the result

OK. I admit it. I'm old. What is Steampunk, anyway?

[Jazznow]

Thank you aurelie. Lucky as i am i antiqued before Edge dying and the antique was a little bit like a reit to the edge dye. I was able to wipe most of it off.

Steampunk is a niche in the fantasy literature. Its a little but like science fiction in 18th to 19th century, which means steam is more or less he only artificial power that was invented but it s imagined to be much more powerful than in the real world. Just combine steam power with airships and Jules Verne and if you like add a little bit of magic and workers and what you get is steampunk

Have a nice day

I love the steam punk bag, very original design and nice detail. Steam punk is definitely a cool and interesting niche, amazing what things like that sell for. The bag isn't too over the top, I really like it.
