I love this Steampunk Hat from Futuravapeur Jimdo -- it's kind of like a Mad Hatter hat, and I am an Alice in Wonderland fan
Steampunk: What is it? Think gears, steam-power, airship goggles, Victorian-era Britain with a futuristic feel. Once a literary genre, it’s now a fashion and home decor genre too.
I am a minimalist who likes clean, simple lines, and uncluttered decor in my home, and a zen/beachy/asian feeling to my decor. However, I am attracted to so many different kinds of art! Including Steampunk!
I have a thing for dragonflies. When we lived in one of our former homes, we were visited daily by huge dragonflies (“the size of birds!” I would tell people). The dragonfly jewelry above is just so unique and interesting to look at.
Of course, having a brain that wants simplicity and no clutter, means I won’t have art all over my walls, nor on shelves or end tables (oh, the dust! I don’t like to dust!), because a clutter-free home means a clutter-free brain, or something like that. I’m most at peace without “stuff”.
So I enjoy art by looking at blogs and searching Pinterest. It’s such a clean, non-materialistic way to enjoy the beauties of art and design!
Being non-materialistic, I find it interesting that I like steampunk, which has a lot of convoluted materials. I also love to look at arts and crafts online, even though I have zero art/craft supplies in my home (with the exception of my face painting) and I am not a crafter at all.
Lots of steampunk fashion is not my thing, it’s for a younger crowd, and is not appealing to me at all, except for the hats and some of the jewelry. But the art pieces are very cool and I really enjoy looking at them, as they are so unique and fascinating.
Combining my Face Painting interests with Steampunk (and knowing you can’t have steampunk without some mention of futuristic-looking goggles), I found this cool steampunk face painting design:
