Librarian in Training

A pair of polymer clay steampunk dragons.

These were made to be wedding cake toppers. But I think librarians may like a little help like this too.

PS. I do commissions!

The Mechanist’s Friend

   Posted by: Rachel Ross    in art, crafty, dragons, fantasy, fiction, geekery, mad science, steampunk

He was old, and tired, and ready to quit.
It had been a long life, and a good one – why, at the high point of his career, he had created automata for Kings! And, at the low point, for demons.

But it had been a long life, and no one was interested in little automata now. They had all moved on, found new trivial things to tickle their fancies.

And so he tinkered at his workbench, for lack of anything else to do. And before he knew it, his hands found those tools again. The metal fell into place again, and a tiny creature sprang to life.

He chuckled, as he always did. Tiny newborn thing of gears and wires. Ah, but they always had such searching eyes. Looking for knowledge. Looking to please their masters.

It turned sparkling teal eyes upon him, obediently waiting his command.

Well, he thought, it would be cruel to shuffle off when this little one needs a master…

And so he began again to father another little life.

A Couple in Love

   Posted by: Rachel Ross    in crafty, dragons, fantasy, steampunk

This was my newest Steam/Mech Dragon commission: two smaller dragons for a wedding cake topper.

It was challenging since they’re comparatively small (3 inches tall) – but it was fun.

Happily Ever After

Steampunk Gallery

   Posted by: Rachel Ross    in art, crafty, dragons, fantasy, mad science, steampunk

I finally put a lot of photos of my more Steampunk-styled pieces into a gallery. There is a tab at the top of this page, but you can also click right here.

I do other styles, but Steampunk is in demand right now. I will expand the gallery later, but I have 18 images so far!

I have decided that I am going to start saving the money I get from commissions, in order to buy a quad-line stunt kite…

Quick Update

   Posted by: Rachel Ross    in art, boring, mad science, steampunk

I’ve been busy lately!
I have been sculpting a lot, and even trying to sketch a bit.
I promise to show you soon. Er, maybe I shouldn’t promise.
But I will definitely try.

Amazingly, the Mech Dragons are starting to catch on! I really planned to have a pile done to take to OddMall this fall, but I have to start figuring out how to make them more quickly, because I am not doing a good job keeping up at the moment. If you are interested in commissioning one, please let me know!  {Email glimmer @ glimmerville.com is a good way}

Mech Dragon No. 3

Worserly, I am not keeping up with the Ladies Bible Study at church. But I AM keeping up with the “read through the Bible in a year” program – which I highly encourage you all to try. I have discovered some really interesting things, and it’s really helpful to read through the sweep of scripture and not just take it a verse at a time. It all fits together better this way.

Work in Progress – Mostly Done

   Posted by: Rachel Ross    in art, crafty, fantasy, geekery, steampunk

The necklace I started in the last post is “mostly done” – I say “mostly” because I didn’t actually figure out the best clasp yet. But I could take a photo of the front anyway!
