Longitude-Punk'd

It was earlier this year that I was summoned mysteriously to Greenwich,London, along with seven other Steampunk artists including modelmaker Herr Doktor, multi media experience designer Yomi, author Robert Rankin and illustrator Dr Geoff|! 
Approaching the iconic date line, we were met with smiles, coffee and biscuits by the curators astronomers and organisers of the exhibiton who explained exactly what they wanted from us!
Now I can confirm I  have been asked to create four costume art pieces for The Royal Greenwich Observatories and National maritime museum! They are going to form part of a brand new steampunk exhibition about the 18th century competition to discover a reliable way of measuring longitude...
All the artists are very excited about their works and we shall be very busy over the winter months, tinkering in sheds, drawing in garrets and writing in coffee shops! 
If you'd like a chance to have one of your artworks displayed alongside ours in the museum, there is a great competition organised by the museum to create an extra artwork for the exhibition! find out all about it HERE!

Adventures in Time and Space

A superb collection of alien artifacts, including two pure silver keys and two pieces of steampunk jewelry embellished with a strange symbol.

These pieces were all discovered by Miss Emilly Ladybird and Mr Woppit on a recent excursion to Eritraia. Whilst exploring a ruined city under the desert, they came across a race of amazing brass automatons who had crash landed many years ago, whilst exploring the universe.

Foiling the dastardly attempt of a thief to steal the automatons source of power, (a beautiful purple stone which has the power to warp time itself! ) Miss Ladybird has gone in search of other objects which may be related to the stone.

They all now reside in safe (ish) hands, although the finding of similar pure silver pieces may be accepted as a commission.

The Ranis key

Another strange key, this one was found grasped in the paw of a koala bear. He was unwilling to give it up even for a large branch of eucalyptus, however it was eventually given into the safekeeping of a Moon Opal heiress from Adelaide.

It forms part of her not inconsiderable trousseau, her father is of course, well known inventor sir reginald dewsbury, creator of the everlasting ethernet.

We believe gentlemen have come from far and wide in order to duel for her hand in marriage. Let us hope the best man wins!

Sorry thse are now sold out but more luscious pieces are available HERE


Cravat pin of Rassilon

A delightful gentlemans cravat pin in pure silver with stunning verdigris patina.

This piece was found adorning the neck wear of an Antipodean gentleman. He was most cagey about it's origins and we hear he eloped soon after with an heiress from Adelaide.

Their whereabouts is not currently known, but it is possible they are honeymooning on the aethership currently in orbit around Juno.

The Stone of Rassilon



This pendant has at its center an unusual purple stone with streaks of iridescence. This large and unusual Gem is curiously emblazoned with an ancient design in midnight ink. The design is reminiscent of a Celtic knot work hourglass. The stone is surrounded by delicate brass filigree and suspended from what seems to be a tiny star location instrument, creating overall a fascinating piece of steam punk jewelery.
It may perhaps be some sort of seal, those who have examined it carefully think the stone probably originated off earth, possibly falling to our own planet as a meteor? It now resides in a private collection.

TARDIS key

An extraordinary key-like device which was discovered sticking out of a police box in central London 1812.

It has tiny cogs and gears on one side, some embossed into and others raised from the surface. On the reverse it has a planetary conjunction, or perhaps a star chart? A leading expert, apparently a renowned Doctor, has confirmed it as a 'TARDIS key' but declined to explain or evaluated on the piece further.

It is constructed entirely in solid silver and measures only an inch and a half in length. An unusual addition to any steampunk jewellery collection.
