Nice to meet you, Lara. Steampunk necklace, very cool.
Thank you. Amy. Thanks for the nice comment! Lara XOXOXO
Thanks for stopping by Lara. A steampunk necklace….what is that. lol
Very nice of you though.
I use images from Victorian pictures and incorporate clock parts in an imaginative way to form a unique pendant. They’re great conversations starters!!! LOL Lara XOXOXO
Have no idea what Steampunk is Lara, but it sounds interesting, along with the necklace. 😉
Check out my reply to Fran below. I think it’s a romantic theme full of adventure in a Victorian setting with lots of gadgets and clock work parts.
I hope you’ll like my book. Let me know! Lara XOXOXO
Hi Lara would you like to clue me in on what steampunk is I haven’t a clue. LOL
Sure Fran.
Steampunk takes place in a Victorian style world when steam was the power of the day. There are iconic images such as airships. goggles, top hats, corsets worn on the outside and lots of gadgets made from clockwork parts or run by steam.
Remember the Wild Wild West movie with Will Smith? That was done in a steampunk style. Other steampunk movies are Hugo, and The Golden Compass.
Think of Jules Verne, with Around the World in Eighty Days and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It’s very much like that.
Does that help? Lara XOXOXO
Sounds like an amazing series. I will check it out .
Thank you, Alicia. I hope you’ll enjoy the adventure!! Lara XOXO
Great post!! Thanks, Lara, for stopping by. And, I love the premise of your stories! Can’t wait to check them out.
And, I gotta say, I’m a bit jealous of ya’ll living on your boat. Sounds like an awesome adventure in itself!
Vickie, living on the boat is a little challenging right now with the temperature in the 20’s – 30’s but over all it is a grand adventure!!!! Lara
Love this, =) can´t wait for my chance to read! I´m a sucker for Steampunk. Already added to my TBR list.
Happy Sunday!
