Anyone else love all the steampunk artwork showing up on Etsy and Livejournal? Do yo love old watch parts, gears, compasses and other cool odds and ends? For this swap you will make your partner one item with a steam punk design. Great place to look for items to alter or use to make your steampunk inspires piece would be thrift stores or antique stores.

Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or digital mechanical computers (such as Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine); these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or with a presumption of functionality.

To join this swap, you must have a 4.9 rating or higher with at least 10 hearts to join (from snail mail swaps). You must also have signed into swap bot within a week of the last day to sign up. I am giving ample time to put this swap package together, so please put thought into this one! This swap is international :). Please no ATC's unless your partner has them as a want. It is hard to put a dollar amount on an item you are creating but please try to create something that you would love to receive yourself. I am leaving a nice long time after partners are drawn for you to search out or order online cool items for your steampunk creation and for you to make it.
