For the Love of Steampunk – February Challenge
Take a look at these Steampunk Powertex projects from UK tutors to inspire your own crafting. It’s the theme for the Monthly Challenge in The Powertex Studio in February. Put your own Steampunk spin on these ideas or create something unique and join us!
Claire from Powertex UK has written a poem to inspire you too.
For the Love of Steampunk
“Wise old owl; his lucks come in
Claire Ivins
Lucky sixpence gets him a win!
Steampunk funk the cogs just spin
My heart is black but full within”
Think cogs and gears, clock parts, copper pipes, metal textures and corsetry or lace to give your creations a steampunk twist. Steampunk is all about mixing up Victorian steam age with the future so go wild with old meets new.
