SteamPunk Frame

Steampunk is a subculture

Maggie explained to me. 

I had seen a girl with this way funky hat

in Valpo and asked her if I could take a picture of it.

I showed it to Maggie and 

she schooled me.

She also advised me only nerds were 

Steampunk. 

So, I'm a nerd too. 

As best I can explain, it's a subculture, 

that derives it's identity from 

kind of futuristic Jules Vern 

sort of stuff. 

Like around the era of steam power.

Kinda. 

But here:

The 

widgets, 

whosits, 

and 

whatchamacallits

make this Streampunk.

I had been wanting to try the technique

on the base of the frame.

The explanations all have you using glue

to create the raised pattern. 

I felt the fabric paint

would give me better control because of the 

fine tip and the paint would flow easier than glue.

It did. 

Once it's dry you just spray paint the whole thing. 

But I never leave good enough alone.
