Hi everyone,
I haven't posted here forever but thought I would share some of my new steampunk animal creations with you all.
I hope you all enjoy them- they are so much fun to make!

This is Bernie. He is the first steampunk person I have ever made and is a very special guy. Bernie was born on a small farm in Idaho and is the only son of Herb and Gretta Knickenbocker. After getting his degree in linguistics, Bernie decided to move to Belgium where he has resided for over eleven years.
Bernie works as a translator for the US Embassy. In fact, he's the best pig-latin translator the government has ever had! In his free time, Bernie enjoys baking, cross-word puzzles, and styling his mustache in the latest mustache-trends.

So, here are my latest creations with a short bio.  I hope you enjoy looking!


Darwin is a thirty-four year fashion designer living in downtown San Francicso. He recently launched his own high end bow-tie line which has hit the fashion industry by storm! Darwin hopes to single-handedly bring back bow-ties as a staple in mens clothing ensemble within the next year.
In his spare time, Darwin enjoys picnics, horse racing, and classic Hitchcock movies.



Edwin is the shy, nerdy, brilliant type of guy. He has been working tech support at a local electrolysis facility for the past two years and recently got a pay raise! Edwin got out of a bad relationship not long ago (all her fault I might add) and is looking for companionship. In his free time, Edwin enjoys role-playing games, Skittles candy, and searching for potato-bugs to keep as pets.



Henreyetta is national spelling-bee champion and is currently looking for employment opportunities. In her free time, Henreyetta enjoys polka music, Haiku books, and Venti no-whip strawberries and cream Frappuccinos.



This is Hercules. He's a 32 year old color-blind Sagittarius who works at the local hair salon specializing in perms. In his free time, Hercules enjoys rollerblading, playing scrabble, and kittens.



Fillmore is a 'night owl' in the most literal sense of that phrase. He suffers from insomnia and has the most energy in the middle of the night when he is painting still-life objects. His newest art collection will feature a variety of fruits, cheeses, and socks- all of which he enjoys immensely.
Aside from being a professional artist, Fillmore enjoys hot cocoa, X-files, and riding his tandem bicycle (though it would go much smoother if he actually had a partner to ride with him)!

Here are the two newest recruits to tashera's army of jewelry awesomeness!

Vlad is a humanitarian who chooses to drink Clamato instead of blood, per se




Henreyetta is fond of long walks on the beach, sitting by the fire, and liquor-store heists

This is Cleo. She's Happy and so am I!
I started making steampunk critters about a month and a half ago. One of the first animals I tried to make was a piece like this. Needless to say, I failed many, many many times (six to be exact).  At the time, I just wasn't skilled enough to take on such a task. But now, a little over a month later, I finally did it!
It took many cuss words, tears, and lots of various bracing ideas to build such a piece, but I finally found a way to make it work (and be sturdy)!
I hope you like her as much as I do

Hi everyone,
I had a request from an awesome couple on another site for a custom order of a brooch and necklace.
The brooch was to be big, and look 'tough'.  So naturally, I gave him evil eyebrows!
The necklace was to be smaller and delicate.  Very flowing fluid lines. 
I hope you like them!  Wrapping the chain around the tentacles nearly killed me and involved a LOT of cussing!
