Steampunk Christmas Ornaments Are One Of A Kind Handmade Art For Your Tree.




Absolutely beautiful, one of a kind, handmade 'steampunk' style Christmas ornaments will turn your tree into a Victorian Wonderland that even Jules Verne, Tesla and The Doctor would envy.

These are crafted by Marianne from Montana's Dragon Tracks Studio using polymer clay over glass and look like real industrial metal. Beautifully painted with metallic paints and mica powders, they appear as bronze, brass, gold, copper and silver metal. And they are sealed with a protective finish so they are durable and can be used year after year.

Fine details such as ball chains, watch gears, grommets, faux rivets, tiny metal charms, metal beads, pieces of pipe, mini propellers and screw heads are added to the clay which has been imprinted or embossed with patterns that emulate everything from laces to gears.



These are truly pieces of art, stunning from every side. A few of them actually differ from front to back so it's like having two ornaments in one. The steampunk ornaments vary in price depending upon size and she's only made a few, so get them before they are long gone!

Be sure to see these hip Military-inspired products I've found over the years.

Princess Leia Hair Headphone Covers, Headbands, Hats and Wigs.





"Yes, these are the Princess Leia items you've been looking for."

I love that Star Wars continues to inspire unique items and designs 35 years since its initial release. One of the most fun items recently brought to my attention by my friend Brad are these Galactic Princess Headphone Covers styled with faux hair and available in brunette, (blonde and ginger made to order), crafted by Jacquie Coe (aka Jacquie Longlegs).




Each purchase comes with two 6-inch in diameter buns with mesh backing, ready to glue permanently or attach temporarily to your own headphones (instructions come in package).
