This aesthetic has infiltrated the Sci-fi/ Fantasy world of video games, film, novels (Clockwork Heart by Dru Pagliassotti was a best-seller at the expo this year), and continues to influence costume dress, home decor, and DIY jewelry.
Despite the fact that we're similar to hipsters in that we don't like to be trendy, the Supina culture supports the creation and enjoyment of DIY Steampunk jewelry. Using bits of old clocks, pendants, cameos, coloured beads, lace, copper wire, and whatever else we can get our hands on, we glue some gears and fuse some metal to make lovely unique pieces that are then sold at craft sales, in a shop in southern Alberta, at theatre events, or else are just worn or gifted with much love and joy. There's a jewelry making party every once in a while, follow the Graffiti Mix blog for more information as they happen!
