Hello all! After all the Guest Designing (Magic Potion Bottles for Anything But Cute) and Guest Hosting (Crackle Tag for Tag Along - do come and play with me!), I'm back with a sneak peek today... and I'm happy to say I've been at the Glampunk again over at Calico Craft Parts.
At the time I was working with them, these were prototypes, but I'm delighted to say they are now available in the Calico Craft Parts shop. Do check out the fabulous new Steampunk designs there, including this wonderful steam pipe collection, the Pipework Maze set.
If you want to see them in action properly, please hop over to the Calico Craft Parts blog and check out my Steam Pipe Trunk Distribution Venue (calling all West Wing fans... those mystified by the reference will find enlightenment here).
I hope you all have a fabulous week. Here's hoping September will usher in some better weather for poor damp Great Britain! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I'll see you again very soon.
No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is turned into light and power until it is tunnelled. No life ever grows until it is focussed, dedicated, disciplined.

With oodles of Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls in the background and on the pipes themselves, and with those little touches of old gold from the gears and the bulbs, I'd like to add this to the Touch of Gold theme at Frilly and Funkie, if you're willing to travel to see the whole thing!
this looks very interesting and I love the post title! off to check it out now.
