when told he was a clown,
“We can’t all be lion tamers”
Joan wonders....
What would a Steampunk clown look like? What about a time-traveling clown?

There are few, if any, images of cosplay Steampunk clowns. The possibility that they could exist at all appears to fall into uncharted territory. And yet, the idea intrigued....
From the depths of my mind I saw images of copper tubing, brown tulle, and rusty metal. These had to be the ingredients for concocting a clown, but how? Where would I be able to find fine, small gauge copper tubing? Rusty metal strips? Entering the legendary land of Google provided an education -- evidently such things do exist in other worlds.
And so you will see.
She lives!
But, alas, she seems unfinished. Does she need a hat, or clown shoes or even possibly a mask? What will work? What do you think?
We shall see.

a collar, she needs a clown collar, maybe from some flexible metal mesh :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I tried tulle and hated it but am thinking about using the copper tubing and mesh.

I've been thinking on the mask issue. It would be cool if you could incorporate bits and pieces that could change out to make up different expressions. rotating eye pieces for winkis or glasses or something. mouth pieces that could reflect smirks, smiles, frowns or what ever. Maybe a very small LED light for the nose. Something anyway. It could be fun. I like the clown color idea and I have seen some messes at Michaels that could work, even at Hobby Lobby. Then a hat with springing sprockets instead of flowers and her shoes would have to be different. Something maybe even mechanical, like maybe from an old erector set. Maybe that would be a bit much. Sure was hard to get to sleep thinking on these things though. Fun, but not very restful. LOL
ReplyDeletespelling is bad, winks not winkis, collar not color, meshes not messes - I think it is past my bed time. LOL
