Steampunk Community

While researching the topic, I discovered that in the UK especially there is a very big steampunk community. I know this due to there being a very useful Facebook group called Steampunk Tendencies [https://www.facebook.com/groups/steampunktendencies/], where the community posts about various artists and designers, and in general things that relate to steampunk.
Through this I have discovered many new things to research for the steampunk part of my project.

Anything can have a steampunk version. I have noticed that there are a few recurring materials that often come in steampunk creations; this includes leathers, irons and rusts.
Often steampunk is portrayed in either a post victorian style, or a western style, but overall anything can be made steampunk.
I really enjoy the rusty iron look because in the steampunk universe everything is powered by steam instead of electricity and I am planning to use this somewhere within the project.
