Wearable Art with a Mechanical Soul

Hi there, I’m Denise, the creator behind Spanky Spangler Design.

From my kitchen table, I fuse a love for science fiction with the ornate elegance of neo-Victorian Steampunk. My passion is creative upcycling, breathing new life into broken watches, vintage cogs, and dead lightbulbs by transforming them into intricate clockwork insects and wearable sculptures.

For years, people loved my lightbulb bugs but always asked: "Do they actually light up?" So, in 2020, after months of tinkering and engineering, I made it my mission to make it happen. Today, my signature light-up brooches and glowing cyberpunk wasps are the crown jewels of my collection.

Every piece is meticulously handcrafted, unique, and designed to be a definitive conversation starter. Whether you are a cosplayer, a dreamer, or just love the extraordinary, welcome to my whimsical clockwork world! You can read more about me here.
