If there's any place where people can be interested in that sort of thing, it's here. Steampunk jewelry If I was a woman, I would definitely wear some of that. Hell, even now I would be happy to own such items, just to put it on my desk and let it dust while being so damn pretty. Especially the mechanical insects (1, 2, 3) look impressive and classy. The lizard's cool too. BTW, some (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) could act as variations of the Brotherhood of Steel logo. Not like that's unusual, since anything "gears+wings" would look like that, but still it's nicely reminiscent.
Awesome, just bloody awesome. If I ever manage to dupe a girl into marrying me, she'll be wearing a steampunk ring.
Some of them are really pretty but I think that if I got any of them I would more likely decorate my dragon statues with them than wear them *imagining the desk guardian with a steampunk ring as a collar* ^.^
Replace her birth control with sugar pills? It'll be dually fun if she's diabetic! I can't find the site I wanted, but there's also this, this (which has me tempted to buy that bottle necklace), this, and, of course, this guy, who makes amazing keyboards. Apologies for the broken links.
Von Slatt's bares a strong similarity to Datamancer's. Difference being that Datamancer is a business-ish person, where as Slatt is a hobbyist (by all appearances). Also, the store I couldn't think of earlier was Rivkasmom.
I suspect that von Slatt is the inspiration for Datamancer's proliferation, meaning of course that Datamancer's keyboards look similar to von Slatt's.
There's one of them that was specifically inspired by von Slatt's, and is even called "Von Slatt Original" or somesuch.
Von Slatt doesn't do commissions and when he started getting people offering to buy keyboards off him he approached Datamancer and asked him if he wanted to do it.
As I recall von Slatt originally set the price at something he thought was outrageous--1k or 2k USD. People desired his keyboard mod so much that they were willing to pay that to have him make it so von Slatt resolved to having his bluff called and passed the project on to Datamancer.
