Celtic Steampunk
We have a surplus of deer around here and I've found a whole load of bones whilst clearing the area. I cleaned one piece up and carved it with a ring pattern and have been waiting till something suggested itself to me. I was looking up brass rings on the net and I came across the phrase "Celtic Steampunk" on Brass Goggles and it immediatly struck a cord. Its similar to Gentleman Savage but much more original. I've got some lovely rabbit fur and leather as well as some large copper rings and handmade rosewood button so I might toy with the idea during the week

Elephant in the corner
I've been lax in posting with a good excuse. I've ben tackling the knitters version of the elephant in the room better known as*The Knitting Machine*. Itsa rather pretty ooking Zippyplus that I got buck she of a rather nice man from freecycle who races Huskies and is off to scotland in a converted van. After a few false starts seeing as I havnt touched one of them since uni we seem to have got to an agreement. I don't use anything thicker then 3 ply and its doesn't chew it up and spit it out, cast off stitches in the middle of rows and jam in the middle of a row. I've got a top in a ghasty yellow yarn pretty much done as a test pieces of a pattern I thought up, just a basic top with a ruffled neck and arms.
