WHO WE ARE

Raven's Whimzy specializes in creating and providing Steampunk costuming pieces, including goggles, jewelry and other accessories, and an occasional décor piece.  We are also always seeking unique vintage pieces suitable for Neo-Victorian, EGL (Elegant Goth Lolita), Elegant Goth Aristocrat (EGA), Dieselpunk cosplay and LARP (Live Action Role-Play) use.

What is Steampunk? A cross between Science Fiction and a whimsical re-imagination of the world as if life (including all machines running on steam) and styles had stayed the same since around the time of Jules Verne (sometimes this genre of costuming is referred to as “Vernian”). The costuming is not, however, limited to the Edwardian or Victorian time periods – “Dieselpunk” costuming generally covers the time period between the end of the Victorian era and WWII.

Why Steampunk?  Well, besides just being pure FUN, it's amazing the number of artists to see and find making beautiful objects and accessories.  In addition, Steampunk is a Great form of family entertainment!  Who doesn't like to dress up in fancy costumes??  You know what they say about the family that Cosplays together, lol!
