A Steampunky Weekend

Hi all!

Been away this weekend, Manchester again, this time for Comic-Con. Basically - big event centre, people dressed as their favourite pop culture characters, lots of stalls selling memorabilia, art, handmade stuff. This is the third year we've been and it's always fun.

There was a steampunk stand, one part was a shop where they sold goggles, jewellery etc and then behind it they had sculptures and handmade things that you could take pictures of. They did talks as well.
They had a hat stand full of these miniature top hats.




And other things like this metal spider and crocheted cakes


And a customized frame. I love this piece!


Continuing the steampunk theme, I did another photoshoot of Nathan and Sam in their steampunk gear. This time, Sam was a pirate and he looked SO COOL.




I also attempted to be a pirate but I think I'm too little...


Until next time...!

Trip to Manchester

Went to Manchester for the day last week! We've been meaning to go back as we didn't get much chance to look around when we went in July. We've got a university project to create a documentary video, and I wanted to do mine about dinosaurs... and we'd never been to Manchester Museum... 
It was fantastic! It's as good as the Natural History Museum, if not better. After that, we had a wander around the shops in Manchester.
