I was really fortunate to get into the garage-studio before lunch today; and was able to do a few hours after lunch - still got time to get out and do weed cutting late in the day before the rain set in again.

As you can see from the photo above and those below I got to play with the collection of bits I talked about in Wednesday's post. And I have decided to create a small Steampunkish series. The series will include: pendants; earrings; and Light Catchers. I will create what I can from the collection. Each piece will be unique as I use up the bits. As indicated in the earlier post the series will be called
Time and Light as each will include clock-watch parts and at least one crystal from a vintage chandelier.
Today I pushed myself to create a pendant; a set of earrings; and a light catcher. The Light Catcher has an additional feature - it includes three tuned rods that when struck give a beautiful sound. The Light and Time earrings have movement - two of the pieces are on chains.

The pieces still need a bit of final polishing and tweaking - but in all it was a good outcome. The pieces will migrate into my shop in the next little while
brilliant designs...love the steampunk influence and you do it so well! these could have been goodies from my stash...i find sorting through a box of watch and clock parts is always a rockin' good time! look forward to seeing these new additions in your shop!
ReplyDeleteCool... especially enamored of Light, Time and Sound...
ReplyDeleteOMG Barry... I think you have channelled Luthien.
ReplyDeletePouring down here on the coast, we seem to have been quite slothful and going out to meet friends, 3 swims in the pool and no beach walks, I will have to go home to a diet, again!
ReplyDeleteLove those earrings.
Light, Time and Sound is glorious! Time I pulled out my watch parts...
ReplyDeleteB, your light catchers will always always be my favourite! this one is different from your usual style but just as intriguing. it needs to go into some movie!
ReplyDeleteL, VA, JM, P, C & LT - hi folks - thanks for checking out the Steampunk influenced bits; and thanks for your comments - always appreciated. L - good to hear you have a stash - we are not alone with our collections. VA, C & LT - that makes three of us - Light Time and Sound did work out well - and I love the added design element - sound. JM - I could never channel Luthien - she has far too many stories and mediums going for me to even come close. P - sorry you are having rain as well - sure impacts on walking exercise and fitness etc. C - out with those bits and into creating. LT - I think I will always create Light Catchers if the found objects lead me there. All go well, be safe and create well. B
ReplyDeleteThese are really gorgeous!
