Steampunk

Recently I began designing Steampunk items and listing them on my Etsy shop, Lady Lorien Designs under the label TwoTootyTwo (222). Part of the reason I chose the name 222 for my store is because of something that actually connects Steampunk to my inspiration for designing costumes.
When all the numbers on the clock are the same (4:44, 11:11, etc) and you open a door of any kind, I have believed from a young age that it would open to another world. In all honesty, even now, I try.  I cannot deny my belief that this is not the only reality. And in that other world, one would need the right clothing...hence, the costumes!


Steampunk is a fusion of sorts... Victorian era style, and either Futuristic or Past SciFi. I am particularly drawn to creating styles that combine Celtic, Victorian and SciFi...as well as Oceanic themes and Victorian, SciFi. Not entirely sure where it will all lead. My brain is humming with ideas and the only limitations I find are those of time and money.

Check out my Etsy shop for latest additions...uniquely inspired by a love for fantasy, travel and individual expression..
