Mosaic Monday
Oh the things you learn from blogging.
I started doing ATC (art trading cards) swaps over a year ago.
Up to that time I had never heard the word
Steampunk
I had during that year run across the term and did one based on Google research.
The month of January our hostess Wendy had a
WTA
(winner takes all)
and I was the first winner of the draw.
I had chosen Steampunk for my preference of cards.
8 folks signed up.
That meant I would receive 7 swap cards from the other artists.
Decided to use those cards for my mosaic this week.
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.[1] Steampunk involves a setting where steam power is still widely used—usually Victorian era Britain
or "Wild West"-era United States—that incorporates elements of either
science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or the contemporary authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeld and China Mieville.

I think I understand Steampunk Art now.
There is also a market out there with
Steampunk jewelry.
Go here for Mosaic Monday with Mary and all her faithful participants.
