Yes! The peeps at North Light Books have bequeathed upon me a copy of Steampunk Emporium: Creating Fantastical Jewelry, Devices and Oddments from Assorted Cogs, Gears and Curios by Jema “Emilly Ladybird” Hewitt to give to one lucky reader of Recycled Crafts at CraftGossip.com! Can I get a whoo-hoo?!?! The author Jema was kind enough to do a little Q & A with me which I posted over at Sweater Surgery along with a fun quick and easy gear and Swarovski crystal earring project.
The details: Leave a comment here by Midnight June 16th, 2011 and you are in the running for a copy of Steampunk Emporium. The fine print: Open to USA residents only.

Luv the aesthetic of scifi/fantasy edges with Victorian flair!!!
I love using recycled materials to make people and animals!
This is so my daughter. She loves Steampunk — and I’m with a Friends of the Library group that has an “attic” sale of all the stuff that comes in with donations that is not books — keys, brads, beads, etc. NOW we’ll know what to do with them, if we win the book!

I can never get enough how to’s, especially ideas on steampunk
I embrace victorian and love to juxtapose the industrial, hard look of items like gears, typewriter keys, bullets and such into this revival style of jewelry we know as Steampunk! I’ve incorporated several steampunk looks into my line of jewelry and accessories and have been educating many that stop at my booth on the term, the look, the trend. Just love it!

I love the steampunk movement – what a great way to recycle and upcycle materials. I wonder what new projects I can play with in this book. =-)

This is so up my alley. I have invested in some watch parts just to dabble in the steampunk pool. I would love and cherish this book. Good Luck everyone. Or as we say in the Southwest, Buena Suerte!!
Exciting! Thanks for sharing!
My daughter is a college history major & a lover of Steampunk fashion (& the Victorian age that inspires it). She won first place at the San Francisco Legion Fantastique steampunk contest in 2010, based on her homemade costume (God bless her) & her studied knowledge of what was happening in industry & science in the Victorian age. As a single parent, I’m on a ridiculous budget, & as a college student, her budget is non-existent. I know she would put the book to good use, and she would also help out any of her friends who are also into historical costuming.
Oh my, a book to guide one thru the voyage of steampunk. Count me in!
What a fantastic giveaway! I love steampunk art! This would be a great book to have to explore new territory in the art world! Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful book!!! HUGS! glanning@msn.com

How odd…a friend was just asking me a few days ago about doing a steampunk take on a popular sci-fi series…this would be a nice boost to the concept!

I discovered Steampunk about a year ago when a designer I work with was doing a production of Othello in Steampunk. We all had a blast putting the costumes together and I’ve been trying out Steampunk techniques on my own ever since.
i like gears and goggles and crazy machines, so steampunk is a natural. always like finding new books to read.
As a costumer, this would be a valuable tool! Pick me, pick me!
Love Victoriana & Steampunk!
