STEAMTOWN - EXPLORER'S STUDY - VIDEO TUTORIAL - NEW COLLAGE SHEETS & DIGITAL IMAGE SETS

The wait is over; the identity of the new tenant of the house on Irongate Street is none other than H.G. Wells.

The Steamtown Weekly Journal has all the details, with Amelia Goodbody snagging the exclusive interview.  She covers topics like “Her Exciting Life in the Clouds,” “Thrilling Adventures Traveling Around the World,” and “What’s Next For This Intrepid Explorer.”  

Here is just a taste of one of H.G.’s adventures; “Unexpectedly, the balloon began to sink.  Hearing a steady hissing sound, her heart started to race.  Below, as far as the eye could see, was nothing but water. Helena Graham Wells was no stranger to danger; she knew a cool head was her only hope.”

If you want to find out what happens next, you’ll have to subscribe to the Steamtown Weekly Journal.

A girl after my own heart, H.G. seems to prefer a cluttered eclectic style of décor.

I love the brown chesterfield tufted chair with its velvet footstool.  Next to the chair are her favorite cigars (Lucky Fellow) and a decanter with her favorite brandy.

Bright lights and a warm fire make the room feel cozy.  

I see she is a cellist and that cello looks like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

What an interesting clock; it looks like a mechanical wonder both inside and out. 

What a lovely and unique chandelier.  The Edison wall sconces are also interesting.

I can see some very interesting pieces on the other side of the room.

I bet she's taken that steamer trunk on several of her adventures.  It looks like she also uses it as a desk for correspondence, and I see several postcards from her travels.

Looks like Helena is a fan of playing 3D chess.  This set must have been custom-made.

What a beautiful round bookcase crowned by an amazing globe.

In this tutorial, I’ll cover how I decorated and constructed the pieces in the Steampunk Study (the first floor of the two-story house).

The project is packed with so many wonderful chipboard kits and embellishments.  My favorite kits are the fireplace and the grandfather clock.  Some of my favorite embellishments are the inlaid globe bead, chess pieces, amber globes, and brandy decanter set. 

The Steamtown series of projects are just getting started.  Stay tuned, as in the coming weeks, I'll be decorating and furnishing the second floor and adding other elements to the exterior.  In addition to the house on Irongate street, there will be other Steampunk-related projects that I'll keep under my hat for now.
