A lot of steampunk is so brown and beige it verges on boring, but it doesn't have to be – here's an awesome turquoise top hat. By unknown; found via John Francis Grice on Pinterest.

What an AMAZING leather quiver set! Turquoise and white isn't a very common color combo for larps or cosplay but, oh, does it look handsome when done right. By Iliana at MadeOfLeather on Etsy.

Sewing pattern by Jamie Lee at LavenderLilyDesign on Etsy for a sparkly, aquatic mermaid Christmas stocking. Pretty cool.

I rather suspect that if I were to make something like this for next Christmas, I'd have to start now, LOL! I'm sure I'd have trouble sewing sequins. (It's like the fabric equivalent of contact paper, my nemesis.) Hats off to anyone who can!

What a detailed, carefully made siamese cat mask by Andrea Masse-Tognetti at merimask on DeviantArt. (She's also on Etsy.) An old project, but still impressive.

A lovely DIY birb leather ring – surprisingly effective despite the simple design. By unknown, found via Kristine Richer on Pinterest. Makes me wonder whether you could make a dragon with the same technique. I don't see why not, depending on the size of the wings, but leather isn't my typical material.

You could almost imagine the wee dragon taking flight any moment! An expressive turquoise and copper dragon hair slide by 2 Tower Leatherworks. (There are even more handsome ones in the Gallery at the 2 Towers Leatherworks website, if you're inclined to see more.) Found via Pinterest.

This is so epic and ingenious! A DIY version of the illusionary wall from the movie Labyrinth by Jen and John at Epbot. Serious commitment and fan action – not to mention planning and building skills. Kudos!

Indeed it is! Makes the thought of a little old lady bashing someone with their purse a little more dire as a prospect...

Really amazing dragon hairslides by MPFitzpatrick at DeviantArt! I assume they're made from leather and painted, but not sure if other materials are involved.

Gnomecore / goblincore / fairycore / forestcore is everywhere these days! Here's a delightful headband-type crown decorated with light-up mushrooms. Looks like it might be a DIY project? By unknown, found via Mushroomantic on Pinterest; screencap & mashup by yours truly. (BTW, worth following the link & seeing the video!)

Such an impressive cartoon(!) cake by Mika Rampa! I could so see something like this for a Simpsons theme party, for instance. Photo by Essi Lyytikäinen, found via Maku. (NB. Finnish only.)

For dark winter nights: hoodie with dragons soaring over a forest silhouette. This is apparently an older design for a rave hoodie from One Cue Apparel; I found it via Pinterest. (I know of other types of rave clothing but hoodies are new to me; I feel quite old now, LOL!)

What an astounding house exterior – so vibrant, yet not tacky (or not too terribly so anyway). I appreciate this more than I like it (partly because of the color choices), but to each their own. By unknown; found via Jocelyn's Mountfield Dollhouse.

Happy Leap Day!
