Steampunk Home Decor – Light Switch Plates
A couple of months ago The Lady and I came to the realization that we had painted the walls and woodwork in every room in our home except for the master bedroom. Our house was built in the 1970's and this means beige and brown decor. Thus, our bedroom was just about the most depressing of any of the rooms in our home.
We set about to remedy this post haste! We began by painting the walls a pleasant sage green and changing the woodwork from a dark brown stained pine to a contrasting French Cream.
When it came time to change out the light switch plates, I thought I'd make a few in the Steampunk style.
More after the cut . . .
Step one was to gather material, so I dumped out my box of small brass bits and fished through them for some likely candidates. These have been lovingly collected over the years from many sources, but most came from our town dump.
The chosen bits I intended to solder on to solid brass lightswitch cover plates.
The brass lightswitch covers came from Home Depot. Note to self: be sure to look closely at the packaging. The first batch I bought turned out to be "brass plated" and the "brass" came off when I applied the paint stripper to remove the clear protective varnish. I set them aside and went back to buy some solid brass replacements.
(The "brass plated" covers appeared to be nickel plated under the yellow varnish, so I will attempt to electrolytically copper plate those some other time.)
I tried a couple of different methods of soldering. First, I hammered a length of regular electronic solder into a flat ribbon and then snipped a bunch of small pieces off with some scissors. These I placed under the parts I wanted to attach and then I heated the whole assembly with a torch until the solder flowed.
I also tried using a solder paste sold at autoparts stores. This paste contains a mixture of solder particles and flux and is even easier to use then the cut pieces of solder ribbon.
Once my parts were laid out I heated the whole assembly with the torch until the solder flowed.
After the plates cooled I cleaned them up with a variety of tools and buffed them to a nice shine.
I wanted the plate I chose for the bedroom light switch to have more of an aged appearance so I sealed it in a plastic container with a couple of tablespoons of ammonia.
After about 6 hours it took on a lovely patina.
I made a variety of different patterns, each suggested to me by the bits of brass scrap I found in my collection.
This is the one I ultimately chose for our bedroom.
This one is my favorite and now resides in our living room. The LED candle lights when it's dark allowing you to easily locate the light switch. This particular switch is located next to The Ladies favorite chair so I incorporated a bell so that she may easily summon a servant to refill her morning espresso.
This one stands by the front door and safeguards our key rings.
The upstairs powder room light.
This one was fun to make but proved rather awkward to use so it went back in the box of brass bits to become a donor for future projects.

It also highlights the importance of aligning oneself with the cycles of nature and embracing the ebb and flow of life as reflected in the lunar phases. In essence, the Lunar Witch Oracle Handbook serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking to explore and integrate the power of the moon into their spiritual practice. Through its comprehensive and detailed content, it empowers readers to embark on a transformative journey, deepening their understanding of lunar witchcraft and enabling them to unlock the mysteries of the moon..
Reviews for "Moon Magick: A Practical Guide to Using the Lunar Witch Oracle for Rituals and Spellcasting"
1. Samantha - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the Lunar Witch Oracle Handbook. The information in the book was very basic and didn't offer any new insights into lunar witchcraft. It felt like a regurgitation of information that can be easily found online. The illustrations were also lackluster and didn't add any value to the content. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their knowledge on lunar witchcraft.
2. Ethan - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Lunar Witch Oracle Handbook, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The book lacked depth and didn't go into enough detail on the different lunar phases and their significance in witchcraft. The writing style was also difficult to follow at times, making it hard to fully grasp the concepts being presented. Additionally, the book didn't provide any practical exercises or rituals that could be performed during each lunar phase, which was a major letdown.

I also found the organization of the content to be confusing, making it difficult to navigate and find the information I was looking for. Additionally, the book lacked in-depth explanations and examples of working with lunar energy, leaving me wanting more. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied with this handbook.
