My Steampunk Pepper Gun

For quite a while I've wanted to make a Steampunk gun, but I never found anything that actually inspired me. I looked through a multitude of toy guns, but they just weren't what I wanted. I finally found the perfect thing in a thrift shop, a broken pepper mill being sold for $.50!

Steampunk Navajo

Last year at TeslaCon 1 I wore a Navajo Steampunk outfit, and I thought it was high time to write a post about that.
First, I should say that as far as I know I have no Navajo heritage. I made this costume because I really like the aesthetic of Navajo art, particularly their clothing. I also wanted to explore steampunk in a different direction, most of the characters/outfits I've seen have been very Euro-centric. Thinking about what a Navajo approach to steampunk would be let me be a bit more creative than I might have been otherwise.
