Giveaway: Steampunk Emporium: Creating Fantastical Jewelry, Devices and Oddments from Assorted Cogs, Gears and Curios

June 7, 2011 by Stefanie Girard

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.

    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 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!
