  4. Wahoo! Ultra sweet giveaway and a great way to use those odds and ends that I find I must have when I’m digging through “junk” boxes at antique stores!

  6. I’d love to try new and interesting ideas, this would help my creative juices flowing.

  8. Would love to win this book. I am just getting into Steampunk, so this would be a BIG HELP!!!
    Thanks

  9. My husband actually tried to get me to buy a steampunk-themed craft book last time we were at the book store, and amazingly enough I still managed to walk out empty-handed! Somehow I have a feeling this was meant to be…

  14. What a great book! I would love to win it. I took a look through it and there are so many neat projects.

  17. whoo-hoo!!! My hubby would kill for anything steampunked. He has been an avid follower since they began showing up. I’d love to win this for him (and I might just look over his shoulder too.) LOL

  18. My friends and I have become obsessed with steampunk designs. I’ve started working on a costume and I think this book would be perfect for jewelry and trimmings ideas!

  20. Oh, that would be wonderful, to be able to read up on how they make all of those intricate pieces – not to mention learn how to do some of it myself!!

  22. i just inherited a sh%tload of old jewelry and whatnots from my late Mother. I’d Love to get some great ideas from this book!

  23. Thank you for such an awesome opportunity!!!

    I would love to learn how to make more Steampunk items as it is such a neat genre.

  27. “Those gears and gyros clicking and whirring like the devil himself!”
    -Old Billy Bones

    my favorite quote from my favorite movie 🙂

  30. I would love to get this book to get some more ideas and techniques for my Steampunk art.

  32. Steampunk – all the rage at the library. What a great genre to get creative with!

  36. I’m actually in the process of creating a steampunk art piece — serendipity. Would love to have as a resource.

  37. So excited to read this book. I love Steampunk inspired things and would love more inspiration!

  39. 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!!

  41. 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.

  45. Would LOVE to see it, let alone get it by winning. Thank you for the chance.

  46. I am making a steampunk outfit for the Jareth Ball and next Steampunk Ball. I would love a chance to get this book and make some cool jewelry to finish off my costume.

  49. I love the imaginative look of Steam punk. It allows you to think and create outside the box. The What if I do……
