Idly noodling

OK, so I enjoy the look and aesthetic of steampunk, except that I am not as enamored of the bare gears, so I keep wondering if it's possible to build an art nouveau steampunk.  Today, as my mind wandered, I pictured something like a flying fairy, but in a steampunk style.

So, this Alphonse Mucha print:

 found at http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/alphonse-mucha/champagne-printer-publisher-1897

it an inspiration piece - picture the circle behind her head as a set of articulated wings, with the breast piece as the harness that holds the wings on...maybe not these colors, but the basic decoration & shapes.  I found a couple of  tutorials on making articulated wings (harness here: http://whatishcc.com/tutorials/wingharness.php and wings here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62jhoXa4ckI&feature=g-list-p&list=PLiGil09G6fseOvV9PYjnlZX6h7Tshg3W1 ).  They aren't exactly what I am envisioning, but...these are another possibiity ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-079u0IGeE )

Hmmm...noodling is fun :)
