My dear husband and I were invited to give the Steampunk 101 panel at Conbust 2010. We were honored to do so, and had a great time! While we were babbling excitedly sharing our views the marvelous L.L. Tisdel sketched us in action! See how she captured the mad science/world dominating gleam in my dear von Hedwig’s eye? See how she made me look young and thin? What a lovely and talented young woman she is!
At the panel we offered a handout of resources that I’d like to share with you all here:

Hi,
My brother and I have each both started Etsy shops with a Steampunk theme. We are both trained modelmakers, LRPers and creative types.Matt has 15 years modelmaking experience whilst I have a Design Representation degree plus three years experience and skills garnered from a family of ‘sew and sews and knit-wits’! Please take a moment to peruse our goods. We would be grateful if these could be posted or passed around the Steampunk community. We will be adding more items to our ranges as often as we can make them.
