Weekly Collage - STEAMPUNK

'Steampunk'... that's a new word for this age.   Of course English is a 'living' language but it's growing so fast!!! 

As an 'oldie' I like to take words literally.  I mean 'gay' is 'happy' right?  Mmmmm perhaps not anymore.

Anyway Scrapiteria has decreed that the theme is something that I do understand in today's context, but choose not to...

Steampunk
... and it's a free country (or is it?)

  1. As an Old School Punk, of the era of kickin' Mohawks and Doc Martens (yes-I-still-wear-Docs),

  8. Anne... I'm enjoying the picture of you with Docs and a mohawk.

    Netty... Thanks, I haven't investigated Gingersnap.

    Wyn.. Well it did involve some steam... maybe that was overkill?

    Kat... Nice to hear from you, glad you got a laugh.

    Patty... Yes the language is a strange beastie.

    Luthien... I'm afraid you can easily outdo me in the Steampunk dept.

  11. I just couldn't get "steamed up" in time for the challenge but the way you tied it to language changing amused me. LOL!

    I like your entry.

  12. Hi Helena, Laura, and Darla... For some reason most of my cut'n'paste Scrapiteria collages have been rather 'tongue in cheek'. I guess it's the way I let off steam each week...hehe.
