- Introduction
- I fell in love with steam punk a couple of years back when one of my conventions decided on a steam punk theme for the following year. I had no idea what it was, and was kind of upset that they didn't choose Seelie vs. Unseelie as the theme (I at least understood the fairie realms). As a leather craftsman, I thought that I had lost out on being able to make things for the convention. Was I so ever wrong!!!
Now I can't seem to get enough of it. In fact, I'm the dealer coordinator for Steamposium, the first event to be held here in St. Louis in April, 2010.
I look forward to discovering new, interesting and unique items that folk have put together and finding new friends that share my love for this genre.
