Steam Demon Art

Shanandowa 

Greetings from Steam Demon. 

My name in Shanandowa Durfee. 

I am crazy about Steampunk and have been crafting Steampunk items for a few years now. Recently I decided to finally open a few online shops and offer my crafts up for sale... Here at Steam Demon Shipping is Free for purchases over $35.00
I hope you will take a look at my crafts and maybe consider purchasing something if you like what you see...











I prefer to use recycled materials whenever possible.As you can see from the pic on the right 
it is created using tin cans, paper mache and cardboard, as well as clay.... and one real metal gear. 

On the back of this particular desk caddy you will find an assortment of stuff....
The large gear is a real metal gear from the transmission of a 67 chevy pickup... I like to include real gears whenever possible. The large gauge is made from the end of a biscuit tin, with a pic of a gauge, which has been covered with a piece of plastic for protection. In the pic it looks as if the gauge is completely covered with paint, it is not...you can still see the gauge. Sometimes my pics come out like that... I'm working on it, lol.

 With this next one you can clearly see the large real metal gear... It is connected to the tin cans with JB Weld... that insures a firm bond. The gear is painted just the same in the back, in the pic it doesn't look like it though... gotta work on my pics!

 

 The tops of the cans are covered with real gears as well... 
The cans are covered with clay and adorned with clay decorations and gears

The cans are connected with JB Weld as well for a firm connection that won't separate.

The entire desk caddy is sealed with a clear sealant to protect the project. It is made to last and is very sturdy.












This is just a sample of my art and a small explanation of how I go about creating my pieces. If your interested in purchasing a piece you can find Steam Demon on etsy Steam Demon shop on Etsy
