Steampunk Ball 2016

Steampunk Ball 2016 Photobooth

Last year, the theme for the Sourdough Rendezvous was "the future is now" and the organizers decided that, in keeping with the theme, the annual ball would be a steampunk ball.
The Steampunk Ball was such a huge success, the organizers decided to do it again this year.

While YuKonstruct helped with decorations last year, the makerspace's only contribution was laser cutting gears out of cardboard. This time around, Rendezvous approached YuKonstruct to design and build some really impressive steampunk props.

Chris and I jumped at the opportunity to build some epic steampunk decor.

Chris designed an airship and porthole photobooth backdrop in SketchUp and then we built them with the help of several YuKonstruct and Yukon Comic Culture Society volunteers.

Another YuKonstruct member made an awesome jacob's ladder and incredible compass rose for the stage.

It was a ton of work, but it was all worth it to see it in action at the ball.

We pulled out all our costumes and managed to dress up a bunch of our friends. I love it when I can justify my crazy costume collection.

Now that Axel is getting older he has strong opinions on things, like how his party should be, which can be a little challenging for me, but on the flip side he is able to help out with the preparations which is a lot of fun. This theme worked well for the skill levels of a preschooler since nebulas and starscapes don't need to be precise and actually look best a little messy. My little helper and I had a great time baking and decorating galaxy star sugar cookies and painting the photobooth backdrop. His pride in the projects was so heartwarming, I'm smiling just thinking of it.   We als
