Really excited to see Molly Friedrich on there–I’ve had the pleasure of having several conversations with her in the past and she is a VERY talented artist.  There are a wide range of amazing works from 2d art to 3d sculpture and wearables so be sure to check out the offical exhibit site now and if you’re in the area, well, shame on you if you haven’t visited it yet!

Today I am proud to announce that the BuySteampunk.com news blog is officially live!

I have a few tweaks that still need to be made to get it more in line with the rest of the site in terms of font and formatting but it finally looks passable.

This section will feature a variety of content including the following features:

Crafter’s Spotlight

• Exclusive interviews with popular and budding craftsmen and women. They’ll share pictures and info about their latest work as well as tips and tricks that they’ve learned along the way.

Artifact Feature

• Check back frequently as I will be posting specific listings I find that I feel are real gems in the rough. Due to the way eBay searching works, occassionally there are some great steampunk crafts, steampunk parts, or tools that do not get displayed. Here is where I will highlight these unique items that you may have missed.

The Closet

• Join me as I look at the “latest” in victorian clothing and steampunk fashion trends. We’ll look at steampunk goggles, traditional victorian style clothing, steampunk clothing, steampunk jewelry and much more.

And much, much more!
