Sounds of Steam
For those how haven't heard, one of my amazing fans has a weekly steampunk podcast! From the Sounds of Steam website on Wightparty Radio:
|
We discuss the influence of Steampunk in the world of movies, literature, music, gaming, and every other corner of culture we can find. Each week we will discuss different Steamy historic occurrences, drinks (including beers, cider, wines, liquors, and teas) and current Steampunk events around the world.
We interview convention goers and hosts, artists, bands, writers, inventors, time travelers and craftsmen. We explore the hobbies, sub genres, geographic influences and fringe cultures that help shape Steampunk every day.

We cover the spectrum of elements that touches Steampunk. Not so much a show about the core elements, but all the seasonings and spices that give it such a wonderful and personal flavor for each individual partaking of it. All of this blended with wit, sarcasm and a pub like atmosphere.

Supernatural Defense Systems
We also debuted the new Tinkerton Scientific Supernatural Defense Systems at Steamcon this year, and got a lot of great comments on them. You may have noticed the new "Supernatural" button on the menu bar to the left. I am currently working on getting the "SDS" items pictured and on the site. To start, I will only have a few monster hunting kits, as well as some of the a la carte items like holy water, potions and powders, zombie bait, repellent creams, etc. I will be expanding the line as time goes by to include several devices and specialized equipment for all you supernatural combat needs. If you have a specific need, let me know!

Steamcon IV
|
Steamcon was great this year. Carrie and I enjoyed meeting friends, old and new, while working the table in Artists' Alley. The only down side was being so busy, we didn't have time to visit any pannels and only got to walk the ventor room briefly. Perhaps next year we will have a third person to help out so we can break away a little more. Of course, we are hoping to have a bigger table next year; we sold out of so many things! At this time, I have shipped all the items ordered during the show. A big thank you to everyone at the show (customers and staff alike), and to thoses who were patient enough to wait for sold out items to be shipped later. |

Custom Work
It's official, I am now in the "Off Season". It slows down a lot this time of year, which allows me to do new product design, website updates, and best of all: CUSTOM WORK. If you have unique desings, cosplay ideas, or special needs; I am happy to work with you on those. I expect to be able to do so until early to mid June (unless a last minute convention opportunity comes along). Contact me if you are in need of custom work.

Product redesigns!
Mr. Tinkerton is at it again. You may notice some of the products are not available when you are browsing the site. Sorry about that. Tinkerton Scientific is always brainstorming and sometimes it means we have better ideas for old products. Right now we are working on redesigning several items, including adding additional options (like 12GA, red paper shotgun shells...OH MY!) The new designs should be finished by the end of July, and we hope to have the photos on the site ASAP. Thanks for understanding!

Another much improved redesign. The new style is made to look similar to vintage ammo pouches, but are designed...
These high quality replicas are made in spain and have the look and feel of real revolvers. They are all metal with...

About Steampunked Out
I've been working with leather for over 12 years now, and got my start working the Renaissance Faire circuit. I started Witch Works as a crafting business in 2008 to supply the new age/metaphysical community with quality, handcrafted items made from leather, wood, stone, and other natural materials.
I love working with my hands and creating new and different things, so when I was asked to make a steampunk styled leather cuff for a prop in a play at the local university, I was happy to do it. The design was well received and it was suggested I do more to sell. One thing led to another and I opened an Etsy shop in September of 2010. I have enjoyed the style and design of the steampunk genera so much, and the shop is doing so well, I have decided to open this retail web site as a sister store to Witch Works. I love making new things and doing custom designs so if you have ideas for new things, suggestions to change old designs, or need something completely new, please contact me.
