Steampunk softies : scientifically minded dolls from a past that never was

Meet the Steampunk Softies, a charmingly raffish cast of characters for you to make, each with his or her own unique personality. From Charity Storm, The aviatrix who sports a set of built-in wings, To Tompion Zeitgeist, The sinister illusionist with mesmerising eyes, each of the eight little softies has a story to tell, and all share key steampunk characteristics, firmly rooted in a past that never quite existed. Use everyday crafting materials to create some decidedly out-of-the-ordinary characters. Customise your softies with oddball or vintage touches give old keys, single buttons and leftover jewellery fixings a fresh new identity. With fully illustrated step-by-step instructions and hints and tips to ensure that every softie emerges in full steampunk style.

  • "Even if you're unfamiliar with the term "steampunk," chances are you've already discovered it through the works of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Tim Burton, Mary Shelley, or Lemony Snicket. Steampunk is an artistic movement that includes stories involving steam-powered versions of modern technology in a fictionalized Victorian setting. Staying true to steampunk style, Skeate and Tedman's inventive Steampunk Softies feature prominent science fiction and fantasy elements, as well as anachronistic inventions and props. In addition, many have dual roles that add practicality to their punk existence--the Lady makes an excellent paperweight, while the Illusionist's cloak doubles as a screen cleaner. Despite their meticulous detailing, Steampunk Softies are simple enough for even a sewing novice to construct. A short biography accompanies each softie, providing a background story for each character.--From publisher description."
