This is part two of the steampunk dress – once again, it’s not finished (for one thing, it’ll have a zip in the back so I won’t need to hold it in place), and this is not the final ribbon. Also it still has chalk marks on it. But you get the idea.
The most steampunk thing about this is putting the eyelets in – with pliers and a hammer. And no major injury, yay!
I’m a writer of The Antipodean Queen trilogy, the Rahana trilogy, and many interactive tales including Murder in the Mail, Magic in the Mail, and the Shooting Through escape rooms (currently non-operational due to COVID-19).

Chris is my partner, Louisette is my eight year-old daughter, and TJ is my six year-old son. My cats are Zipper and Zoom. I’m based in Canberra, Australia.

Bonnee: The reason I still have my thumbs is that CJ suggested holding the thingy with pliers.

Its probably wrong of me to point out that that is a quick grip spanner and not a pair of pliers….. But then, as long as it worked, who cares??

Ann: Awesome! We were both wondering what its proper name was.
