I'm pleased how it has worked out - looks just as good 'in-the-flesh' as it did on the screen.
My adventure through your post just now began with oohing and aahing over your delightful collections and quickly changed to salivating over them (not to mention all over myself...arg!). The possibilities! The sculptures! The...fun of making that awaits!
ReplyDeleteHi J - I must say I did laugh - I could almost imagine you having a slight and cultured drool over the bits. It is a good collection and I'm looking forward to creating a few bits. Go well. B
Delete~you remind me of "hugo" with all these gadgets and bits of clocks...i am so happy that your book turned out well...always exciting when you get to see your work in a finished piece...be well and much love light and blessings~
ReplyDeleteLooks like paradise to me. O to be immersed in all those lovely 'bits'
ReplyDeletehow wonderful! the stuff, the stuff! and the book, congratulations, barry.
ReplyDeleteMy heart skipped a beat and then sped up as I saw your great stash of treasures. Very similar to my own stash so I look forward to seeing what you make of them. Congratulations on Precious Pieces, B, I'm sure it's a winner!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your stash spread out all over your studio.... and then to see how you turn the bits into art.
ReplyDeleteB!!! i'm so jealous with the clock parts!!! i do have a bag myself and dismantle when i run out of parts. the other day i just cut my hand dismantling one cos the spring jumped out at me UGH! Gas burners!!! who would have thought! you're a maestro in repurposing B ... you are. something to think about when my burner dies on me, which is going to soon i think. and congrats on receiving your 2nd edition ... the images on the cover looks super professional!
ReplyDeleteB, JM, V, C, R & LT - collections do seem to get many of us going; and thanks for your congratulations on the Precious Pieces publication. B - I'm not sure who hugo is but I'm sure he must be ok if he is a collector of stuff. JM - paradise is right when collection come together. V - I think stuff is such a good word for our bits. C - I await your creations. R - I think that is one of the best parts - spreading the stash out and letting it talk to you. LT - sorry to hear about the clock spring - it happened to me once and nearly caused an eye injury - be careful. All go well and gather well. B
