Inspiring Steampunk Wings

I have decided that as a Pixie I am in need of wings. Steampunk wings of course. Here are just a few of the wings I find inspiring!

Beyond Boots- Steampunk Footwear for the High Heel Challenged

As a larger woman I often look at the gorgeous knee high boots and wish I could squeeze my large calves into them. But then I realize that even if I could squeeze my legs into the tops my feet would never tolerate the high heels for more than a few seconds. (If I didn’t break my neck first. )

So what’s a woman to do when the amazing shoes just don’t fit?? Look for other amazing shoes of course! And what a variety there is. Below are just a few of the options for large calf/ balance challenged steam enthusiasts.

Clicking on the photos will take you to their online homes for more details.

Steamy Cupcakes

I love cupcakes! Maybe it's because they are cute little cakes. Maybe it's because I suck at decorating them. Baking I can do, icing is simply not my best artistic medium. But it is amazing what so many others can do with a tiny cake and a little bit for frosting. Just look at these amazing little cakes. 

But the yummiest topping yet is...........................................

Steampunk Bicycle

Steampunk Bike

In an attempt to get into shape I recently purchased a bike in the hope that I would get off the internet and onto the bike trail near my house. Sadly simply owning the bike is not enough to lose the weight, and I feel no inspiration to ride.

So what does inspire me? Steampunk of course! So thought I, why not Steampunk my bike! This set me to researching what others had done. (and again sitting on the internet and not my new bike. J)

This is one of the most amazing bikes I have found and while it would be AMAZING to ride down the bike trail on this baby it really isn’t practical.

 This bike is similar to the size and general shape of my bike. I would prefer a shiny copper look to the rust on this bike, and I really like the suite case on the second picture of the bike.

This bike is only a drawing but I do love the idea of the wings/sails on the back of the bike.

These are just a few of the great Steampunk bikes I found online! Now I’m feeling inspired to craft! Maybe when I’m done I’ll feel inspired to ride as well!
