Designing my life....
If you didn't know, well now you do, I am a designer
"I don't choose what I create, what I create chooses me "
-Lanchen mihalic
Its funny, I never intended on designing, because I didnt think I
was capable.
A year ago I would had never imagined building, painting and
wiring Steampunk furniture, at the time I admired and wished to be on of the
people that built such items. But I completely surpassed my expectations and now create
a variety of things from furniture, clothing to jewelry.
I respect all those, (I'll call them inventors because designer doesn't seem like a worthy enough name for the pieces of art they create) I respect all those inventors, I'll forever look up to them and stand with them saying
"I am genuine. Everything I create is entirely from my own mind, it is one of a kind"
Because indeed it is and I pride myself on that, and I am very blessed to dream the things I do. I am inspired by books, magic, the past, the future and fantasy worlds. I constantly strive to keep creating the magic around me.
Where would we be without our imaginations?
I am also a writer of fiction, my mind resides in other worlds
while my body stays on earth, which helps with my designing. Just a quick list of my favorite authors just because...
- Aldous Huxley
- J.K. Rowling
- Ray Bradbury
- Stephanie Meyer
- Veronica Roth
- J.R.R. Tolkien
- Suzanne Collins
These people have inspired me to no end, and the worlds they
created have captured engulfed me for life. I am so blessed to say that I am also
capable of doing the same thing and these writers helped me along the way.
My ultimate goal is to be an Author selling millions of books, sharing my world with others, and a production designer, i want to design sets, props, theme parks, entire worlds!
Future IMAGINEER here!
No matter what, I will always be creating by writing a
story, drawing, or bringing something in my head, to life.
There no doubt about it, Its my calling and God will get me
to where I'm supposed to be all in his time.
I am truly blessed.
God is Great!
I have lots of growing to do, but I am ready for the
rainstorms to feed my roots!
Come Join me on my Journey to success!
Please Support and follow.
Teamwork makes the dreamwork!

Steampunk Inspired
Steampunk is easily the most recognizably genre of our era, and for those of you asking,
"What the heck is steampunk?"
Don't fear, I'm here to tell you.
Recently I've become inspired by the world of steam which is why I am writing a blog on it. If you haven't been informed about steampunk is yet, I must say it is definitely something to know a little about.
My goal is to become, what I call, a steam genius. The brain behind the marvelous artistic steampunk inventions so I've started making light fixtures, one of 8 which is made and steampunk jewelry as well. So before we get started Please check out my steampunk items on Etsy, just to get a feel of what were about to talk about.

I'm sure by looking at the pictures above you've realized you've seen steampunk before you just didn't know it had a name. Well it does and there's a lot more to it than just a name!
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam powered machinery. Its inspired by industrialized Western civilization set in an alternative history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American Wild West. Steampunk was created for all those who wonder what the world would be like if steam power had regained mainstream use. But its not just inventions people are recreating and creating its also rooted in the era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art.
So when you see a steampunk piece, think of it as an anachronistic technology or retro-futuristic invention as the people in the 19th century might have envisioned them.
I recently became involved in the era of steampunk and ever since I can honestly say the people who invent steam punk pieces are pure geniuses. Putting together a success steam punk piece isn't easy, its a process, a thought through plan inspired by everything around you. You really have to take apart things, and try going back to the beginning as if nothing was here but few resources to make things work. It really is a neat era to be apart of or at least know about so you appreciate a steampunk item when you see one.
In the 19th century inventions were designed with the intentions of being steam powered, these inventions were much more thought through and definitely more technical, they were almost like working pieces of art.
Car with steam powered engine
As we all may know there are a few
steam powered machines
still around today,
and that is the train and sawmill.
Steampunk really has inspired me in all I do, in fashion and most of all in art, props and furniture. If you ever see a steampunk piece in person, really take the time to look at it, how it works, how it was put together. Its amazing, its not just a invention its art!
Here are a few steampunk geniuses in action
Thomas Willeford, aka Lord Archibald "Feathers" Featherstone, and Lady Clankington discuss their Steampunk-inspired mechanical arms.
Its a Trap. -Not sure of the guys name of who creates the wonderful things he does from regular items but I applaud him.
