I realized I never posted finished pictures of my last Steampunk creations on this blog! You can find my idea sketch and a few progress photos a couple of posts below, but here is the finished bear for the Steampunk gallery at the Quinlan show in Philadelphia.

Icarus wears a leather aviaitor helmut and vest that were challenging and fun to make and wooden wings, painted to look like tarnished brass. I love this bear!
Along with the Steampunk gallery, a few artists chose to let off some steam at dinner by dressing up in fine Steampunk fashion. Of course I was one of them! My costume is put together entirely from thriftstore finds apart from the corset and hat. I dressed up an inexpensive party store top hat, and bought an authentic steel- boned corset from "corsetdeal.com". ( Who knew there was such a place?)

| Katherine Hallam looked incredible in her Alice in Wonderland themed Steampunk costume. I wish I had taken a close up of the leather teacup hat she made. |
There were even more people dressed up and still more said they would join us all next year. I'm looking forward to it!
