We set off in the dirigible, all stacks hissing steam, the great beating heart of our inspiration carrying us ever onwards. Doctor Catherine Desailes promised us a fine view of sunrise over the eastward side… For everyone who holds the aesthetics and grace of the steampunk genre close to their heart.

In the famous legend, Lady Godiva so sympathizes with her subjects’ suffering under her husband’s oppressive taxes that she pleads with him to lift the tariffs and give the people some relief. Sick of her persistence and wanting to call her bluff, Leofric tells her he will lift the tax if she rides naked through the city and to his surprise, Godiva does, after instructing the townspeople to shutter their windows and stay inside.

Mrs. Lavinski had some rather Libertarian views on the subject of property tax (especially for a card-carrying Wobblie) but that contradiction doesn’t make her attempts to avoid them any less entertaining. A Hungarian immigrant of amazing ingenuity, Zora put her hard work in the factories of Chicago to good use when it came to crafting a solution to avoiding the “damn Revenuers” who drove her batty. Her steam-powered moving tenement more than returned the favor – it was rumored that no fewer than 10 tax assessors found it necessary to take “medical leaves of absence” after being driven mad by their attempts to track down Zora’s property and assess it.

Imogene had been crying in the barn for sometime before she really noticed the bathtub. Well, not crying exactly, because Imogene Fortinbras never cried – her eyes became moist and her nose ran on occasion – but crying was for big babies so she wouldn’t be caught dead doing that. Not even when her father refused to let her enter the Annual Go Kart Regatta and why not? Because she was a girl, that’s why not! To make matters worse, he and her brother Sebastian were in the carriage house right now and what were they doing? Making a Go Kart for Sebastian to race! And he was only six! Oh it was SO unfair!! Downright infuriating, that’s what it was. It probably wasn’t the first time intense passion fueled inspiration, but the result was certainly unique in this instance. As if stunned into a trance by a lightning bolt, Imogene pulled out the toolset that she had negotiated hard for last Christmas. After disassembling a wagon, a small motorboat, an ancient combine, a laundry sink, an old table fan and sneaking upstairs to make short work of a hideous long flowing gown thing she was supposed to wear for some silly anniversary party, she was ready to begin. For days she worked on her project in secret whenever she could manage, and soon her creation was almost ready for its maiden voyage. The attic discovery of what was left of one of her great grandfather’s taxidermy projects provided the finishing touch. On the day of the Regatta, Imogene cheerfully bidded her father and brother farewell and waved until they were out of sight. Then she shot into the barn, donned her admiral hat and goggles and fired up her amazing bathtub airship. / The Regatta was just underway when a most inexplicable shadow was cast over the racers in the bright September sun, causing them all to gape upwards like so many turkeys in a rainstorm. The result was most unfortunate: a Go Kart pile up the likes of which was never seen before or since. Imogene of course took this opportunity to let her airship touch down and gently glide over the finish line. Although she was not officially entered, no one could deny that Imogene was the clear winner, and that is how Imogene Fortinbras became the first girl to ever enter and win the Go Kart Regatta. Being a good sport, she provided her brother with his own hat and took him and her baby brother Twisby for a victory lap, much to the horror of their mother. / Hanging in a child’s room or your own office or studio, this piece is a testament to what is possible if you put your mind to it, and to all women who simply refuse to take “No” for an answer.

Maybe you’ve read the “His Dark Materials” trilogy by Phillip Pullman, or just “The Golden Compass” – truly steampunk for the younger set! Here is my illustration of the brave and dashing Texas aeronaut, Lee Scoresby, and his daemon, a hare named Hester. Mr. Scoresby’s fascinating airship hovers in the background, above some text from the novel. This original artwork is copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

The “Hinden-Clucks” of Pumbleflat are a wonderous fleet of living Airships, designed to carry difficult or sensitive cargo. / Short distances only, as they deflate rapidly. / To re-fuel and to create another lift-off, a Hinden-Cluck has to drink an enormous amount of very cold water on a hot day!

If there is one thing you would think that a fairy would not be in need of, it would be a flying machine. They have wings, for Pete’s sake, and really, when you think about it, nowhere to go. That was the general gist of the sniping about Floribunda Chanterelle’s invention amongst the fairy circles. Truly talented, Floribunda had managed to transform a humble outsized fungus into a marvel of mechanical engineering. Levers and pulleys, gears and propellers, steam gauges and intake vents, Floribunda’s creation would alight with a gentle poof and then putter aloft, swaying gracefully in the breeze and coming to earth on a droll landing wheel, or skittering along the surface of marsh or pond, a tiny propeller buzzing behind. Terrified toads aside, it was a truly stylish mode of transport, and a necessary one as well, because, sadly, Floribunda Chanterelle was an uncommonly clumsy fairy. A secret shared only with her snail companion, Enoki, Floribunda’s attempts at flight had wrapped her around cattails, sent her careening into tree trunks and once, landed her headfirst in a gopher hole. Oh, the humiliation! And in her attempts to land, she fared no better, skinning her knees, crumpling her wings and skidding most immodestly into the vilest of bogs. To Enoki’s credit, he never so much as giggled, but spent several hours rushing to her rescue. After patching her tights, straightening her wings and shaking out her hair, Floribunda donned her hat and goggles, snatched a tail feather from a snickering finch and set to work on the very creation you see before you. Finding herself with a few extra gauges, she fashioned a few steam powered butterflies to accompany her on her flights, and she and Enoki set forth exploring parts of the countryside heretofore unseen and uncharted by self-powered fairies. So if you are gardening one day, or perchance walking in the woods and see a large mushroom buzzing along a few feet above the ground, it is not your imagination; it is Floribunda, the clumsy fairy, out for a jaunt. You may want to duck, just in case… This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009. Copyright to this material is in no way transferable with the sale of this item.

I make no claim to a green thumb. My thumbs are typically far too covered in Neutral pH Adhesive, acrylic paint and glitter to ascertain what their actual color might be. Nonetheless, last summer I decided to take a stab at Planting Some Things, and among the things I planted were tomatoes. Or tomato, I should say, because after a summer of watering, pruning, and fretting over caterpillars, my scraggly little plant produced exactly one (1) admittedly fetching little tomato. In spite of myself, I was excited. I decided to let the little fella ripen for one more day before he met his destiny in a lovely caprese salad. Apparently, my Golden Retriever had other plans, and I tore out the door just in time to find her gobbling down my beautiful tomato, a big slobbery, tomato-y grin on her goofy face. / Heartbroken doesn’t begin to describe it. Never again, I vowed. It would be strictly farmer’s market produce for me. But of course I caved and planted another one this year, and a strawberry plant too. You can bet I situated them well out of the dog’s purview! And once again the plants produced only children, leaving me to estimate the cost of this tomato and strawberry at $60 and $25, respectively. Last week I wandered out to harvest my crops (Ha!) only to find them gone. Gone! Again! I drooped into my wicker chaise to sulk and spied something distinctly unusual out of the corner of my eye. / Clearly the grief was causing me to hallucinate, but it seemed to be…my tomato! It appeared to be hovering, upside down, about 3 feet off the ground, a small blossom and tiny propeller affixed to one side, and tethered underneath in a teacup I had left outside a week ago was this very fairy you see right here. Making use of a mushroom and a slice of buttered toast as ballast, she was clutching a fork in one hand. I could only guess it was as insurance against any would-be dire aeronautical disaster. / In a shy and barely audible voice, she explained that her name was Clover and that she was a Snack Fairy. The small rodent who accompanied her was Tidbit. Having pressed my precious tomato into service as an airship, she could now navigate the neighborhood in search of comestibles, which she was very keen to find as she was always famished. While she was chirping away I spotted my strawberry transporting a pair of diminutive kitties (Nosh and Nibble) in an espresso cup I was sure belonged to my neighbor. I sighed deeply because, really, who is going to argue with a fairy with a fork? She went on to say that because I was so very generous with my tomato (again, HA!), she was putting a special Snack Fairy spell on my garden to show her gratitude. I smiled weakly and went inside for a cold compress and possibly some Advil. Well, I have to say that Clover is a Snack Fairy true to her word, because the next day my tomato plant was positively sagging with fruit, as was my strawberry plant, and they are the tastiest produce I have found. Maybe she will bestow her magic on your garden as well. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.
