Mike Savad of Suburban Scenes crafted this incredibly beautiful ornament he calls Infinite Time. It mixes clock imagery with an Escher-like spiral to create a Wellsian image of time in flux. He also sells posters of the image.

This is a nice trio of ornaments from Friston Ho'okano, a floral designer by trade. He laser cuts his wooden façade ornaments, then hand paints them to make a nice still subject of various steampunk imagery. Check out his amazing rings and goggle sets while you're there.

Tracy Alden at Art Resurrected isn't selling these amazing little airship ornaments, but she is more than willing to teach you how to make one! It looks like I would take a deft hand with models to make it happen, but the beauty of the finished product speaks for itself. Plus, what steampunk Christmas tree wouldn't have an airship ornament?

Jen at Epbots put together a handy guide to all kinds of things you can do with your Christmas tree to make it steampunk, but it's the electric light at the top that I like the best. All the materials are easily available from Lowes and the Dollar Store, so there's no excuse not to give it a shot.
