Steampunk!!!

I've had the Steampunkery book of Christi Friesen for quite some time now... 

If I remember it correctly, the book has been with me for almost a year or even more than that!

I even purchased really expensive gears from Purplenook, which she got all the way from the US, in the hopes that one day I'll also get my hands into steampunkery!

I never really had the guts to make a steampunk project, well except for the cuff and heart we did when I had my workshop with Ms Ghie of Trinket Tales... Oh! I'm going to write about that so you have to watch out for it! ☺ 

I really had fun working on those projects! It's like an intro to steampunk too.

But despite the small background, I never really mustered the courage to create one. Needless to say, it took me several months to even a year...

Until last Sunday afternoon.

Since I wanted to make something nice and extra-ordinary for my very sweet and supportive doctor, which I'll be bringing with me on my next check up, I thought of making something she wouldn't normally see sold elsewhere... I decided to make a steampunk project!

So I grabbed CF's book from my shelf, chose a project, gathered my tools and started from there...

And this is what I came up with...

What do you think? Was I able to give justice to my CF inspired project? 

For a 1st try, I'd say it's not bad. I actually think it's lovely, haha!
I hope to improve more on this and create lots of projects too.

This by the way has a pin at the back but can also be worn as a pendant. 

I'm not sure if my doctor is into wearing necklaces with pendants like this, moreso made of clay, so I attached a pin to it at the back so she can use it with her scarfs.

Now I'm excited and really looking forward to my next check up -- this time I've got two reasons to be excited about: #1 my baby's check up + ultrasound and #2 handling her over this handmade gift from me! 

Hope she likes it! シ
