Steampunk

Send your partner a baggie full of steampunk!

I love anything a little bit different, a little bit (dare I say?) weird, and anything that combines history together with geeky technology together with nature has got to be fun hasn’t it?

Use at least a sandwich size baggie and put together a minimum of 5 steampunk items. The only limit on this is your imagination!

Some suggestions are;- pocket watches, cameos, lace, watch parts, altered anything, glass, insects, jewellery, masks. Or anything in a steampunk style;- stationery, pens, notebooks. You could also send some steampunk supplies for your partner to create with. I have had a quick look on Ebay and Etsy and there is a lot of fabulous stuff out there. Obviously, for this swap in particular, handmade is always welcomed. You could make an ATC with cogs, or a journal page of curiosities.

I got this description from a fabulous site www.ministryofpeculiaroccurrences.com

“Steampunk is an inspired movement of creativity and imagination. With a backdrop of either Victorian England or America’s Wild West at hand, modern technologies are re-imagined and realized as elaborate works of art, fashion, and mechanics. If Jules Verne or H.G. Wells were writing their science fiction today, it would be considered steampunk.”

As handmade is welcomed, it is difficult to put a guide as to value on this swap, but as a rough estimate £5-8/$7-10.

This is a senders choice swap, so you can start collecting/making/inventing as soon as you sign up.

Minimum rating is 4.97. If you have any unresolved 1’s or 3’s please sort these out before you sign up. I will check swappers periodically up to the assignment date, then do a final check before assigning partners. If you have any outstanding issues or late swaps on your dash you will be removed from the swap.
