Community Tips: We are a friendly association, and would like for this to remain so. Please be kind to your fellow visitors. Hold them in the regard you yourself would like to be held. Constructive criticism is always welcome, cruelty and mean spirited comments will not be tolerated at all.
We adore seeing most of all: New outfits, gorgeous clothes bought or handmade , modified props, lovely home wares. We also don't mind interesting art, fine film and literature, and news items of note as long as fashion has something to do with it. Steam themed events are also beloved, providing you note what country and state the event is in. The sun never sets on Steamfashion, after all.
We are a moderated community. Moderators reserve the right to use our discretion in approving posts, especially in regards to sales posts. We are only susceptible to bribes of tea,cake and opium.

Again welcome, and enjoy your visit!

Over a year ago, someone in this community posted about the webcomic "Sailor Twain," and I've been hooked by the man/men and the mermaid ever since.

Just a heads up:  The story ends Friday, May 25th.

Calling all Artists - Mascot Contest!
The Challenge
The organizers of the Salt City Steam Fest have decided on a group of up to 6 mascots. We want to give you the opportunity to be the designer of one or more of these sensational personalities. We want to use your art for our swag bags and in other places around the convention.

We are looking for full or half body portraits of one or more of the six mascot characters. We want artists to submit their artwork by June 6 and we will choose one whose art will be used for our convention. Whether lineart or fully rendered portraits we want to see the best you have to offer.


Announcing Artist Alley!
The staff of SaltCity Steamfest is pleased to announce that we will be holding an artist alley this year! The tables are 6 feet in length and will grace the hallways of our beloved convention around the main events area, and even the vendors room!
If you are interested in becoming an artist alley dealer, don't hesitate! There are ONLY 15 tables available and registration DOES include your registration for the convention! Artist Alley will be open Friday afternoon (starting at 5:00pm) and ending at 9pm Saturday so PLENTY of selling time.

As previously discussed on this post, I'm making a Clockwork Angel costume.  I finished the wings within two days of designing them, which is an amazingly fast turn around for me, especially since I was working and baby sitting and a bunch of other things during that time.  Anyway, I'm extremely pleased with how they turned out, so I had to share!



It's a terrible picture and I can't figure out why LJ insists on turning all my pictures sideways, but it gives you the rough idea anyway.  I added some pendants and little gold wings and such to the chains around my arms after this picture was taken so it's a bit more ornate than shown, and the wings are longer and go further up my arm than the crappy cell phone camera could capture, but here they are!  They look MUCH better in person, and the big benefit is that they should be pretty easy to spot repair if anything happens to them at the con, which is more than could be said for my initial plan.

Let me know what you think please, I can always use more feedback!

I've been utterly remiss in posting some of my work up here of late. My apologies for that. Anyways, want to see some new steamy leather masks and a few other pieces? Just duck under the cut-tag with me....

Though the article is on a different subject, I believe that the cane featured at the bottom of the article is most cool and should be looked at by many.
