Steam Punk - what is it? It didn't feature in the dictionary and a quick Google search led to some quite odd places, but basically it's a fantasy world where mechanical, victorian steam powered technology meets the future. Kind of like what the Victorians would have imagined to be science fiction. My search, however, did show some sites where Steam Punk is a big fashion statement with lots of Victorian inspired clothing mixed with lace and metal.
This is the thread I decided to go with when creating these two fabric ATC's. My studs around the outside are french knots and I've included some black lace and a bit of hardware.
The reason I'm delving into the world of Steam Punk is because this is the theme this week on Wednesday Stampers. I'd already started these ATC's which are destined to be posted to Canada pretty soon, so I just adapted them to the theme (once I'd got a handle on what it was all about).

Hello there! Beautiful atc's! I do like that background - any chance for a little tutorial? Great use of those stamps - good thing that you brought in some "fabric" in this metallic world!
Wow Jaine these are fabulous a real work of art, loving how you have used that black lace and the stamped images are great.
