steampunk

When I first started on etsy a couple weeks ago, I encountered a term I had never heard of: steampunk. Steampunk is anything made with metal and gears, but from a Victorian age point of view.

Wikipedia describes steampunk as:

"a sub-genre of science fiction, 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 the Victorian era Britain—that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may haveenvisioned them; based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne."

Inspiration in Travel Vol. 1

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to spend three weeks on the Mediterranean. I can not express how AMAZING Europe is. The views, the history, the style, the food... I could have stayed forever. I wanted to share some pictures of my trip and my inspiration! These are pictures of Istanbul and Kusadasi, Turkey and Mykonos, Greece


Mykonos:

Mykonos was one of the most beautiful places. The water was so clear, you could see your shadow on the sea floor. Unbelievable place

 Istanbul

I loved all the color in Istanbul. It is one of the largest cities I have ever been in.

 Kusadasi:

The scenery and history in Kusadasi was breathtaking. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Hope you enjoy and I hope this inspires you in some way! If you ever get a chance to visit one of these beautiful place I highly recommend it. There is more coming soon from Italy, Athens, Monaco, and Nice! :)
