The Symbol of L.S. Steampunk





Clockwork Octopus
The Symbol of L.S.Steampunk

This pendant was found digging through some jewelry bins. The gears were an added touch. The most interesting detail of this piece has to be the water droplets that seem to have formed on the glass.  This beautiful pendant is the pride and joy of artist Lizzie Stride who is said to wear it almost everywhere. It embodies the very idea of the fantasy and engineering of the Steampunk genera.

Welcome to the L.S.Steampunk Blog

Welcome to the L.S.Steampunk Blog.


    Before we start talking about whats new, how about a bit of whats old? L.S.Steampunk was founded in August of 2011 by the Inventor, Lizzie Stride. (That's her in the picture!) Lizzie has always had a flair for design. After studying at the Pasadena Art Center in 2006 she began to create new and interesting designs. She became known for taking the classic styles of the past and gave them a modern twist. So when she discovered Steampunk in 2009 it was love at first sight. Since then her wardrobe has grown to over 10 Victorian costumes and dozens of hats. When Lizzie finally ran out of room in her closet she began to sell her creations, which has lead to the start of L.S.Steampunk. Now, with the help of other artists and new inspirations, Lizzie Stride has begun a crusade to create some of the most memorable Steampunk styles you'll ever see...


   While her genius had lead to many great things, she earns a modest living selling only what she doesn't fall in love with herself. All of her pieces for sale can be found here...  http://www.etsy.com/shop/LSSteampunk
