Renningers 2014 SteamPunk Industrial Show

 Wow it's been a long long time!

Hope you all are doing well!

I have missed you!

 

Been very very busy with some family

living here we've been helping out.

A life change for sure, especially

with a 10 and 2 year old!

 

I finally got to do something I love! 

I went to my first Steampunk Industrial

show at Renningers here in Mount Dora.

It was pretty cool!

 

Although because I don't have alot of

spare time, it's taken me three weeks to

get these photo's ready and this post!

 

I met some talented people, saw some

amazing things, and of course...always

looking for junk and stuff for crafting!

 

My granddaughter Taylor, my grandson

Lil Ryan, and my best friend...my

camera and I had a ball!

 

So lets get on with it and

Rock and Roll!

 

 

I met this amazing sweet fashion artist

by the name of Kathryn Page, and she

lives right here in Mt. Dora. I found

out that her creations are sought

after and worn by many celebrities!

One I heard of was Stevie Nicks!

 

Pretty awesome right!?

 

Her clothing, hats, and accessories

are to die for beautiful!

I fell in love!

 

She is planning on opening a shop

downtown and I sure hope she does.

Guess where I'll be....alot!

 

The first thing I saw was this gorgeous

wedding dress, and I apologize for the

bad pictures. I was inside an awning

and the lighting wasn't good and I

didn't adjust my settings.

 

This is a wedding dress with matching

hat. It is a reconstructed dress from

a thrift store purchase. It was so much

more beautiful than I captured here.

 

 

Front of dress.....

 

 

 

Back of dress....

 

 

 

And here is the gorgeous hat!

It has a bit of tulle with lace

strips hanging down the back.

It was just gorgeous!

 

Below are some of her bonnets & hats!

Simply stunning creations!

 

 

 

 

She also had some beautiful scarves...

 

Along with tops, jackets, tye dyed vintage

slips, head wraps, belts, shawls, skirts,

camisole tops, and handbags.

 

 

This is a photo of a photo I took

showing some designs created by Kathryn.

 

They were taken by a fabulous photographer

Carmine Warren of Orlando, Fl.

Oh, and I am taking photography classes

from him.....so excited!

 

You can see his work here "Shoot the Look"

and, you can find him on Facebook too.

 

Every item designed by Kathryn Page is

completely hand made and one of a kind.

Her style is Vintage Inspired ~ Glamorous

Avant-Garde Bohemian Hippie Art Wear.

You can also find her beautiful things on

Etsy here and here.

 

 

Moving on to several booths where we

found some fun things.

 

This is my grandson Ryan. He was having

fun with the Steampunk look.

 

 

I loved this hat by the Hatman!

 

 

This metal hat was believed to be

used many many years ago in hat making.

I would have loved that for one of my

mannequins. I love old stuff!

 

 

Saw several nice pieces of

Steampunk jewelry.

 

 

  

 

Handmade Steampunk dice.

 

 

Different types of handmade wooden gears...

I could see these in a loft living area.

 

 

This was pretty amazing! A Steampunk

butterfly! It was hooked on the back

of a mannequin, bike handle bars for it's

antenna's, copper tubing, and other

contraptions for the rest of the body.

 

 

 

These cool little pieces were so cute!

Someone has an artistic vision for sure!

 

 

I absolutely loved this dog!

Don't you just love those licence

plate ears!?

 

 

And this one! Just look at all the

gadgets used in creating these things!

 

   

These too! Do you recognize what was used

for the heads of the two little robots in

the front here....I played with those when

I was a kid! And more adorable dogs in the

rear. I was amazed at what was used to

create all these little creatures. So Cute!

 

Next stop was a friend of mine from Lakeland,

Florida. An amazing painter Linda Cassels,

and her sidekick Leah McConville. They call

themselves the "Tinker" (Linda), and the

"Tailor" (Leah). They both paint, but Linda

also likes to tinker around with other things

as you see with her Steampunk creations.

Leah sews and works with clothing.

 

 

This is a mural Linda painted on canvas

used as a curtain on the outside wall of

her booth. This girl has some major talent!

 

Below are her "tinker" Steampunk creations..

I loved them all and especially her hats!

 

 

I totally loved this hat!

 

 

 And aren't these vintage binoculars

with the bird so cool!? I want them!

 

 

And this made my heart beat fast!!

I LOVE old camera's and birds!

I want this in the worst way!!!

 

 

How is this for your Steampunk taste!?

 

  

And the hats are so fun!

 

  

 

 

My little Ryan was really digging this stuff.

 

  

 

Now I am no fan of guns, but what she did

with this one was pretty creative and it

shoots those styrofoam toy bullets.

 

  

Loved this hat my Lil Ryan modeled for me.

 

 

This made me think of New Year's Eve!

Very cool!

 

 

 

And how cute is this Steampunked giraffe!?

Imagination is amazing isn't it?

 

 

Totally loving this one!

 

 

I really fell in love with Leah's pantaloons!

 

 

These next two photo's are a couple

of Leah's Steampunk designs.

 

It was windy and they were right out

in the sun, but they were very pretty!

 

 

 

You can find Linda here on Facebook to see

more of her amazing hand painted murals,

faux finishes and her steampunk creations.

Amazing talent! 

 

Below are some more Steampunk creations by

some very creative spirits we saw.

 

  

 

 

I never really knew people dressed in Steampunk, but they were everywhere at this show! Wished I would have taken more pictures

of some of the amazing costumes that were worn that day...there was some far out there outfits and some really pretty ones too.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

I thought that girl had a real live owl on

her shoulders, but realized later is was a

stuffed one.

 

Then of course there was lots of vintage and

antiques everywhere! This is where I always

get into trouble....so I have learned

to leave the purse in the car that is

parked way way far away hehe!

 

 

 

I love vintage cars and trucks!

Who knows why!

 

 

This little sweetie was all handmade.

Wood, tin, and bottles caps for the hub caps.

If my purse hadn't been so far away, it would

have come home with me.

 

 

And this baby too!

 

 

This old phonagraph was beautiful! I wish

I would have gotten a full shot of this. The

whole lid inside was all mahogany. It was

beautiful! Never have seen one like this.

 

 

I stop dead when I saw this baby!

Love old rusty bikes!

 

And then...and then...always looking for

crafting things!!! My favorite part of

any show! My head just starts spinning

with visions and ideas. Thank gosh my

purse was in the car far far away!

 

 

   

 

  

 

  

 

I had to tell my grandkids to hold me back

here....this was loaded loaded with treasures!!

 

Well that was it! Well not really but that

was all I got pictures of. If I didn't chat

so much I would remember to shoot more.

 

Hope you enjoyed your visit and, thank you

for coming along. This was my first outing

in six months and I was in heaven! NOTHING

better than a day full of sunshine, making

new friends, seeing old friends, and playing

with my camera!

 

TaTa for now!

 

Love, Hugs, and Blessings!
