Lord Hastings Bobbins does several events, one of which is TeslaCon in November (sold out, I'm afraid).
However, as a presenter at TeslaCon, I've gotten a steak peek at the schedule of events, and it includes an area set aside as a Knitting Parlor (after the ladies of TeslaCon appropriated one by force in the hotel lobby last year), a panel on Steampunk Embroidery, and an class on Bustlemaking. Steampunk is often described as Victorian Science Fiction. But one of the most important parts of Steampunk is the idea that things should be beautiful in the way that modern manufactured products are not. Why build a time machine if you can't put polished wood panelling and bronze filigrees all over it? Why make a death ray if you can't etch scrollwork and inlay mother of pearl into the handle? And And yes, I will be presenting at TeslaCon on lacemaking. For those of you who are interested, here are some pictures of what I have been working on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/68691357@N07/ Katelyn Schreyer krschre...@gmail.com On Sat, Oct 15, 2011 at 12:39 PM, <dmt11h...@aol.com> wrote: > Good Lord.
