it would seem my muses are making themselves obvious lately. Despite the dragging heels on the web comics.
The seem to snatch up some of the most random topics and run around screaming with them in excitement.
Among todays topics are alien news papers, houses the size of camping tents, how to make permanant magnets, corn dollies from things other then corn husks, and a real fun one...
Steampunking Irish travelers wagons and a setting for such wagons, their owners and the items they must have in the wagons.
It seems so perfect. The ultimate DIY types of people being gypsies and Travelers, used to referto them as tinkers, and some go by the celtic word for craftsmen. Chuck in a healthy dose of the traveling Carnie images and freak show preformer, with a touch of mystcism and fortune tellers. It ripe man. My mind is being painted from the inside with images of traveler wagons with riveted metal plates and rusty pipes, chugging along. Mith tinkerers in them dressed in colorful clothes with influances from all over the world which they travel.
Illustrations and props and stories abound for such ideas. and it comes from a simple question of wether or not anybody else has ideas for non-anglocentric steampunk ideas.
Yeah when my muses decide they wanna play, they wanna play!
take care of yourselves.
