In the past I have been occasionally honored by having a piece of mine featured in the wonderful SteamPunk blog "Totus Mel's Wunderkammer". Today, 11.23.12, I have the special honor of being THE artist featured in this highly regarded blog. Thanks P!

new commission & listing posts

Greetings

FYI - I have been posting on Facebook on a fairly regular basis.  This week I made two posts about new listings onto my www.AllPropellersSpin.com website and a posting about a commission piece that  I just completed (and shipped off).

You might also like to know, that I have a new domain name that will take you to my Dragons Etsy store: www.Dragonsmith.net - please visit and let me know what you think!

A special treat for visiting here, two pic of the commission piece that are not on Facebook.

Thanks for visiting.

I promise to post more regularly in the new year.

Greetings.

Just a note to let you know that I will be posting regularly again in the New Year.

For now, very busy getting ready for Steamcon in Seattle - Oct 26 - 28, 2012 http://www.steamcon.org/concrete5/index.php

I will be showing lots of new designs: several new styles of SteamPunk earrings, a new "Time" group and a very exciting group of "SteamPunk Sweetheart Rings!"

New airship brooches too, like this one - Goodrington Forward Lift airship brooch (also now on my website - www.AllPropellersSpin.com ).

Thanks for visiting - hope to see more of you in the New Year.

Wedding Ring Update

My SteamPunk Wedding Ring turned out to be a great success.

Thanks in part to a number of you, it did win the competition!  It was declared the best design of an item that might be found at a SteamPunk wedding (from those submitted) - by the Etsy SteamTeam.  Thanks to all who voted for it.

It turnes out that it WILL be at a wedding (SteamPunk?) - it was purchased by a gentleman in the midwest who presented it to his girlfriend, and ... she said YES!  No word yet on the wedding date.

You may have noticed it has been a while since I last posted here (understatement).  I fear that my postings will get scarce again for the rest of this year, but starting this January I will get back to regular posting.

Please come back to visit then, as there will be much to report!

Your humble servent,
Mark Eliot Schwabe, SteamSmith

Wonderful Feature about SteamSmith

There is wonderful and rather lengthy feature about 

"Steampunk Maker Extrordinaire Mark Eliot Schwabe" on

The feature includes many very kind words about me and my work from these folks. 


Thanks Lora!

the Making of Warrior Princess Nancy Aline sculpture

This sculpture was quite a project.  
I photographed much of the work as I went along.  
Those photographs are posted on my Facebook Fan page - in three parts.

NewIndustries Ltd, part 1 (continued from December 5, 2009 below): Light Passenger Airship

Fast and light,  the latest edition to NewIndustries fleet of Airships is a real beauty.   Designed to carry   a small complement of passengers and crew, and to get them to their destination quickly the LP I is a glorious example of why NewIndustries is the world leader in Airship construction.

There are those who cry “foul”, suggesting that the essential mechanical components of this vessel are not of this world, but instead, from a galaxy far, far away.  Not the first time that critics of NewIndustries have suggested an unwholesome interstellar alliance involving the industry giant.
