Steamed Fish with Ferns

10/12” Mixed media collage

I was recently inspired by one of Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene’s books, “Real Steampunkery Tech” (available on Amazon) to delve into the imagery of the steampunk movement. You might recall I created this steampunk collage on canvas, but I couldn’t stop, I just love the mood the images conjure up!

I also have a weird fascination with all things alchemy, botany, and nautical related, so you might notice this piece also includes a little bit of those!

You can find “Steamed Fish with Ferns” prints and home decor in my Pixels shop. 😊

    It is beautifully Steampunkery. I have her book. It’s fascinating. Have you ever seen the movie “City Of ost Children”? It’s French and very steampunk.

      Many thanks about the book, Tim. I looked at the movie trailer. It seems familiar and would definitely be worth watching again. Hugs.

    Your version of steampunk and other ideas look great. I like the ferns.

    Is this watercolor Tiffany?

      Thank you! Actually, I don’t think I used any watercolor in this one, the background is mostly gouache and watered down acrylic. I also used a soft gel gloss to transfer some images from paper, I hadn’t used that technique in years!

        Oh. Neat. Yeah…watered down acrylics go a long way.

        Someday I’ll try the gel pens.

        That sounds interesting. I haven’t done anything with art in so many years, but I didn’t know about that technique. Cool.

      I love those colors, and they’re perfect for steampunk — since it tends to use a good deal of copper in the ascetic, and aged copper can get that color. 🙂

    Tiffany, you gem! I’m feeling mortified that I missed this wonderful post. What a lovely surprise. When I was just now looking at your front-page, I saw this marvelous steampunk fish and thought “Oh that’s perfect for me.” Little did I know…
    Anyhow, I’m tickled pink that you like the book. Endless thanks for sharing it here. I’ll be reblogging in a moment. Big hugs.
