The theme of this charm swap was "Steam Punk"!
So instead of the normal charm sizes we usually make, I encouraged the participants to make what ever suits their fancy as long as they adhere to "Steam Punk" genre.
For those of you unfamiliar with Steam Punk,
here is a definition according to Wiki:Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history,
and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.
Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world
where steam power is still widely used—
usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—
that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy.
Works of steampunk often feature
anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations
as Victorians may have envisioned them;
in other words, based on a Victorian perspective
on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc.
This technology may include such fictional machines as those found
in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne
or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an alternate history.

This marks my 9th hosted swap on this blog.
You can view them all at the top of this blog under my banner.
If you notice, at the end of each participant, here on this post you'll see a number.
The number tells you how many of the charm swaps
(including this one) they have participated in!
All these participants, plus more, are all on a Master e-mail list.
When a swap is created, they get first dibs on sign ups before the swap goes live on my blog.
If you would like to be on that master list, please contact me here.
Thanks for coming by, and see you at the next Charm Swap!
