Steampunk Halloween

Ever since I have brought home this Victorian wardrobe I saw it as the perfect backdrop for a Steampunk Halloween.  What is Steampunk?  Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction in where steam power became the energy source in the Victorian era for industry.   The steampunk style has a huge following in the art world where fantasy reigns and interprets this science fiction world.

So my world is a Halloween scene of Jack having a little tea in his Victorian parlor while he studies spiders.

He has his microscope out.  He has managed to trap one spider under the cloche.  A few other spiders have gotten away from him.
 
Two of the hallmark looks of the steampunk style are gears and goggles.  So Jack is sporting a pair of goggles on his Derby hat.  We also have a few gears lying about from some of his previous studies.

This spider has gotten away and made a web on this pumpkin.

Under this cloche is a spider Jack has managed to trap, along with a padlock he will need to lock the gate this evening. 

Hope you have had a fun visit seeing my interpretation of this Steampunk Halloween.
