steampunk part 2: TOFF 9

Hi there,

The Octopede Factory (one of my favourite shops on etsy) got this great friday challenge (TOFF)! It´s simple, every week she chooses a theme and you get to design something (a card, a box, or something else) around this theme. If you use a stamp from from her shop, you will be entered into a prize draw at the end of the month.
I really liked the idea and her designs, but never found the time to put something together. But this week, the theme was STEAMPUNK! Yeah! I just had to make something and this is it.

Every steampunk girl loves tea right?

Steampunk....

So the last couple of weeks, I am exploring the world of steampunk! It all started with the novel Steamed by Katie Macallister!!

Two nights ago, I started to look at steampunk crochet patterns and I found this lacy wristers pattern by KrochetLove. I fell in love instantly. That night I finished the first one, I added some steampunk like buttons and here it is:

If you want to make this lacy wristers for yourself, visit the KrochetLove blog, thanks for sharing the pattern!

Then when visiting etsy I stumbled upon some great steampunk art! I purchased one of her digital stamps and started crafting right away:

So maybe my next amigurumi pattern will be something steamy too!
