My name is Daniel Proulx from Montreal. I make Wire-wrapped Steampunk Jewelry with brass, copper and gemstones
INSPIRATION:
I always was very interested in fantasy imaginary world such as Dungeon & Dragon, Lord of the Rings and Science fiction. I’m also inspired by the mix of mechanical, organic shapes and contrast between ancient and futuristic designs.
HOW IT BEGAN:
In April of 2008 I started to make rings just for fun after Catherine (My better half) learned how to make simple wire rings during a 2 hour lesson. I just watched how she made it and tried. Since then I spent several hours every day perfecting and developing my own technique to create an original design. I quickly started to make very retro-futurist model of rings. At that time I decided embarked into this adventure, quit my job and try to live on my jewelry full-time.
One day a friend told me what i was doing was Steampunk . I research the subject and fell in love with this culture . I always liked Steampunk but i didn't know there was a name for it . Recently i had the chance to have a short feature of my cyberpunk ring in the fashion Magazine Clindoeil (French) and an article about the steampunk movement and me in the newspaper Le Voir (French). Interview in an article about steampunk in the Ottawa Magazine by Roger Collier .
Recently i made a steampunk Spider Sculpture that was featured in Daily deviation on DeviantArt :
