The alternative title I had in mind was “Watson Girl”. The new Sherlock Holmes picture is to start on Thursday before Christmas here in Germany, and I’m really looking forward to it! I also wore this yesterday for the annual Pretend to be a Time Traveller Day, but I think it’s going to be one [...]

My Summer Holiday: First Impressions
Posted in Clockwork Girl, tagged bavarian forest, impressions, steampunk on August 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
As I mentioned before, I’m back from vacation. And you all know what this means. Photographs. When I first went through the pictures I took I sorted them into two categories, Inside and Outside. The ones that fitted in neither of these folders and so were neither from the small world of its own of [...]
The Everyday Steampunk II

One of the absolute “essentials” (I’m in no way an authority at this field, so please don’t assume I’m trying to say that my opininon is somehow general. Just in case. Thank you.) of Steampunk as a fashion is the pocket watch. And I finally got myself one! Even two, to be more precisely. The [...]

I’ve been to Frankfurt again. Originally it was to switch my armoire from the unstable black wire-with-curtains light model to a smaller dark wooden type from the first half of the last century that kept catching dust in my mother’s basement. But as my father decided that if we went to get the closet on [...]

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Well, it was neither on the first day of Christmas nor was it a partridge in a pear tree, but an old cookie box filled with old things he knew I’d consider treasures and three volumes of a comic we both love. When [...]
Oh My Goth, It’s Over!
Posted in Clockwork Girl, tagged LARP, steampunk on September 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »
It’s done. My first very own Steampunk LARP. And even though there were some flaws, it was a great experience. Plus, I met some really interesting characters – in time and out time. I don’t have any photos yet and I just came home some hours ago. I didn’t sleep more than nine hours this [...]
Oh My Goth, It’s Coming!

So, it’s Wednesday and the Steampunk LARP is on Saturday. I hope you’re not too confused that I didn’t write during the last days, but I’m really, really busy. I hope I’ll be able to post an update before I’m off to Darmstadt and a big adventure, but I can’t promise a thing. I hope [...]
The Everyday Steampunk I
Posted in Arts & Crafts, Clockwork Girl, tagged sewing, spats, steampunk, Tweed, Wild Rose Hip on August 25, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Two days ago I started sewing my first pair of spats and today I finished them. They are part of my plan to “steam up” my wardrobe a bit. I admit that it is a little bit difficult to practise Steampunk in the everyday life without any cogwheels, but I love challenges. It’s a kind-of-fake-tweed [...]
Honoria – Outfit Progress

As you may know from several of my posts, I’m planning a Steampunk LARP at the moment. Though I am going to be a game master and organiser, I’m sure that I can be of as much use when I’m wearing a nice costume and am playing, too. I tried that on several fantasy LARPs [...]
Bloomers and Bites

Neck bites, to be precise. Yesterday I finished sewing my first pair of bloomers. I made them mainly for the Steampunk LARP that’s finally coming up in a month, but also to proceed a little bit with my attempts with Lolita. I’m awfully nervous about the con and today I’ll start sewing my real dress. [...]
