A Bevy Of Brass Lions

Some recently acquired artifacts of a distinctly brassy liony nature.
What could I possibly have planned for them?

Brass Lion: The Essential Collection

Here is the essential collection of images of the Brass Lion, including photos which debuted in the Steampunk Workshop coverage of the Brass Lion.

Conspicuously missing are photos of me riding the trike in period dress. I'll post those together with one or two additions in a day or two.

Outtakes

Here are a handful of photographs taken at the same time as the photos on Steampunk Workshop.

I will soon be including all the photos on Steampunk Workshop here for completeness.

The Brass Oil Lamps In Operation

We photographed the brass oil lamps in operation at twilight. Darkness came quickly so the lighting actually varies from photo to photo and video snippet to video snippet. If the video is too dark don't worry I'll shoot more video. But remember the subject here is the lamps and the very pleasing warm flickering glow they give off. The scent of the paraffin carries quite far.

Video:



We have no ride video just yet as we're experiencing a major heat wave here. The temperature on the Ninth of June was 99 degrees fahrenheit and very humid! I'm not hardcore enough to go riding on a day like that, much less in anything resembling period costume.

Ladies And Gentlemen, I Present The Brass Lion!

It's June and I want to ride! So yeah the rear rim could use painting and such, but darnit we started this in February. We'll continue to improve the trike but we're going to call her done. Riding photos and video will be forthcoming.
