I've been exceedingly jealous of my friends on the West Coast for the seeming predominance of Steampunkery out there.  However, I am feeling better and better on that front as I slowly discover the many talented artists in and about my home state of Massachusetts.

This marvellous confection is The Time Jumper dress and  is made entirely from components of a military surplus parachute and is a wonderful example of upcycling.  It also sports 25 pocket watches!

It's the work of Heather E. Hutsell and you can see more pictures of it over in the LJ community Steamfasion.
