Santi





Steampunk goggles by crafter/artist Santi based out of Russia.

In the last couple of years the steampunk love affair has expanded into a mainstream trend more then ever. At the same time, the art and craft representing this genre has evolved rapidly.

A fair example of this craftsmanship is the above piece composed of various metals, SHAPES and textures.

From the positioning of the bolts, to the perforated metal for the see-through eye piece. Nothing sends a message better then a well made pair of goggles like this one, when you talk about the steampunk genre.

Reminds me of Waterworld.

It is rather Waterworldish...It, at the least brings the characters to mind...

Good point. I did not see that at the beginning. But you are right, it does resemble the style.
