Hoo hoo!  This was so fun to make . . . our first steampunk piece and it’s called ‘ Time Capsule’.   And I’m telling ya it won’t be our last.

Now this just isn’t *any* SP piece– this is a working time travel instrumentation device.  I tried it out myself the other evening when I dragged myself out of the studio at 11:30 at night.  I was so burned out I thought that was a good time to try it.

So I ever so timidly moved the clock handle down just ever so slightly, then down a little more, and down even further still.  And WALAH!!!!  It was back in the early evening so I went to watch a movie instead of working in the studio.  AND of course I still had it the Time Capsule with me so I really like this thing!

Why I’m selling it in our etsy shop is beyond me.  I really should hold onto it as I’m not sure if I can make another one that works this well– or even at all.  Anyway, there’s more details about how it was made on the etsy listing.

    WOW!

    I love the whole steampunk genre. I also collect and sell
    vintage clothing and the mix of antique and technical with
    steampunk calls to me. This is visually wonderful and the fact that it is a working piece makes it fantastic.

    Well done!!

    Sue:)
