I'm not a fan of steampunk, but I love these! Probably because of what Wes said Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.) Can't help thinking "Bagpuss" & espeically "Professor Yaffle"...Nice work though. Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.) Yeah, moratorium on the word "steampunk," please? These birds are way too lovely to marginalize like that... Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)
