The Watchman

I am pretty sure if I could afford it, everything in my house, including my wardrobe, would be composed entirely of goth and Steampunk items. Luckily there are some GREAT sellers out there who make things like this a one-day possibility, or if not that, at least allow me a little taste of these styles to brighten up my day. One of these such sellers is TheWatchman.

The Watchman is a merchant of awesome handmade steampunk and fused glass accessories. I especially love his style of rings, which offer beautifully ornate bands in stead of the plain silver generic ones a lot of other ring makers display.

If you are unfamiliar with the steampunk style, it mainly involves taking normal/modern items like clothing or furniture and giving them an industrialized feel. Favorite themes of steampunk involve brass, brown cloth for clothing, lace trim, and adding as many gears into anything one can get their hands on, which I am all for. A quick Google Image Search brings up pictures of steampunk'd electric guitars, goggles, and even a Darth Vader helmet.

TheWatchman uses pieces of old watches to create his beautiful pendants and rings, removing the faces to expose the gears and cogs inside. Many of his pieces also incorporate vibrant jewels and charms for added flair.



More recently he has added in some neat resin pendants with gears and/or charms set right inside, some even with neat prints as the background.



TheWatchman also makes lovely fused glass jewelry in striking colors, which, like much of his work, can be worn by members of the steampunk movement or anyone who appreciates the style, work, and beauty that goes into each of his pieces.

Etsy Treasury!

I got to make my first ever Etsy Treasury listing today and I thought I'd spread the cheer. I made it searching for the word "rust" all throughout Etsy and I think I got a nice mix of items in there. Click and comment, please!

You Tube

Hey again! I just figured I'd remind anyone reading this that I ALSO am on youtube, I've started taping myself doing paintings and making little time lapses of them! I am going to stick the link to it in my little links section to the right, so if you ever want to check me out, it will be there. I hope to get better at doing this by buying a better, more mobile camera so ican get closeups and adjust the angle as I go. Right now I use the webcam above the screen of my netbook, not very mobile, heh. So check me out and subscribe if you like what you see! Thanks!

My You Tube Channel

Indie 5 Collective

Hey there! I have decided I'd also like to promote various things I like on my blog, mostly relating to art and the selling thereof. My first choice is the youtube channel,

The Indie 5 Collective

Indie 5 is a group of sellers on Etsy.com who each post a video once a week or so about their experiences crafting, contests, promotions of their own or their favorite shops, tips on selling on Etsy, or just little tidbits about their current lives. If you are lucky, they might even include a ten second dance break!

I discovered it in Etsy chat through Indie 5 member orionstars, and was instantly hooked. The lovely personalities of the members makes it fun to watch, and the information can be very helpful to the emerging Etsy crafter or artist. So make sure to check them out and post a video response if you can, they love these, and are pretty fun to do too :)
