Steampunk

I have this fascination with Steampunk...

From Wikipedia:
Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction which came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date.

For me, it's the technological inventions/art...more specifically a fascination with gears. I've seen a lot of art recently with gears being prominently featured. Which got me thinking about this non-working clock I have...











Oh boy...now what?

What is it about old clocks? I have one in the project drawer,just like that one. Hmmmm. I know you'll come up with a cool creation. I love the gears, tiny stars creating the measurement if you will.
