2. Mariposa Noir Hair Pick Set Steampunk Accessory - Antickquities
3. Eight Forty in the Evening - Vintage Clock Hand Necklace - acrossthepond
4. Tiara Gothic Neo Victorian- Waltzing Through the Golden Age In Black - EJPcreations
Like gears before them, clock hands seem to be the 'it' jewelry component. Mostly they're just strung on earwires, but I did find a few stretching the imagination a bit more.

2. Steampunk Neko Collar - NyteSpryte
3. Steampunk Watch Gear Chainmail Necklace - AlternateHistory

2. Anything Worth Doing Poster, Steampunk - WaxworkandDaring
3. Steampunk Invitation single - JenniferRodgersArt
4. A Dream Steamboat / Laser-cut Shadow Puppet - IsabellasArt
After going over the top all last week for the Platinum finds, I thought I'd start this week off with a material a little more down to earth, paper. Sure it's cut, printed, shaped and changed by the artists, but it's still paper.

Catch All

Platinum Week: Day 51. Japanese Chain Maille Bikini in Black Diamond and Red Crystal - venusinchains
2. Ceramic and steel figure sculpture - TMantkus
3. Perelandra - TheFaerieMarket
4. Demon Skull Belt Buckle - BattleHillForge
Well, here we are at the end of platinum week with a smattering of amazing and high end items. I promise next week I'll post some things you might actually be able to afford. For now, you can marvel at these last four finds.

2. Nautilus I - Wall Piece - leviathanarts

Nothing says excessive disposable income like a one of a kind sculpture. Better save your pennies if you've got your eye on any of these pieces to impress your friends though. This level of art does not come cheap.

Goth Aristocrat

2. The Way - Ancient1
3. Vampire Killing Kit - Antique Style Slayer Kit - ChrisPFlorida

Knickers

Don't Get Them In A Twist1. Snapdragon Jewel Knickers Apricot Rose - scoundrelle
2. Steamy Striped Knickers - RuffleYourFeathers
3. Long bloomers - Revuevintage
4. Light Brown Striped Steampunk Pants - teatimeinc
Lest you think I have something against pants with all my skirt posts, I thought I'd find some suitably steamy pants. All fun, flirty and totally not a skirt.

Message In A Bag

Rather, Just A Messenger Bag1. Serenity Firefly Messenger Bag - raygunrobyn
2. Heart Works Steampunk Foil Print Messenger Bag - VooDooBunny
3. Hand Painted Denim Antique Brown Man's Bag - marionrenee
4. Messenger / 13 inch laptop bag with extra pockets - brown pinstripe - mariforssell
I can't tell you how many themes I went through before I finally settled on messenger bags. The first theme started with the Serenity bag and oddly enough that's where I ended too. Besides, Father's Day is coming up and these would make awesome gifts...or you know you could get one for yourself.

At The End

Of The World1. Wolves in the Cathedral Stoneware Platter or Large Plate - trudalakingglatz
2. Look Me In The Eye - art print - Phaeidra
3. Women's Post Apocalyptic Costume - Ky77yn
4. Ancient Weapon of the future - darrenmayner
Why the heat of the summer finally setting in would have me thinking post apocalyptic, I have no idea? Yet, here we are with weapons, art and clothing fit for the wasteland.

Up, Up

And Away1. NewIndustries Light Passenger SteamPunk Airship brooch pin - SteamSmithWorks
2. Dirigable, Aerostat Reveillon, original ink and watercolor - Loyal
3. Steampunk Airship Belt Buckle... - bmused
4. Airship Thunderhead Magnet Set - WhiteRavenArts
It was pointed out to me via email correspondence that I have found very little in the way of dirigibles or machines that actually run on steam. So while I was able to dig up more dirigible art, I need you creators out there to get on the steam power so I can find you.

2. Wedding Cake Topper Wood Statues with Base - buildersstudio
3. Alternative Aluminum Wedding Bouquet - REFINERII

Fine Feathered

Necks1. Minimal Latex Feather Neck Corset - collectivechaos
2. Feather collar - MetamorphDK
3. LEXI RAVEN Gothic Victoriana Steampunk Coque Feather Collar - lovechildboudoir
4. Black Coque Feather Collar/Choker - themoonmaiden
I've been working with feathers recently and one thing I am now sure of, the more the better. These lush pieces only work because they are positively dripping with fabulous feathers.

Diesel

Punk1. Steampunk Climber 8x10 glossy fine art print - lexmachine
2. On The Road Original Dieselpunk Earrings - insectus
3. ISIS II Egyptian Steampunk Noir Silver Earrings - 19Moons
4. Mankind Has No Time Limited Edition Giclee on Rag Paper - ettadiem
Darker and grittier than its steam based cousin, diesel fills a point in time and space that is more post apocalyptic than Neovictorian. Still, then seem to occupy the same landscape coping with the environment in their own way.
