Today has been a community sort of day - most of the day has been given over to meetings and discussions.
But yesterday afternoon and an 1.5hours of today I managed to make a display board for my Steampunk influenced jewellery. This is so that it can be displayed and sold in our local bookshop-coffee shop (Rosettas) which has a large Steampunk-ish coffee machine. The owner (Ann) has bought a couple of my Steampunk 'coffee' mugs to hold teaspoons etc.

So the display board needed to continue the Steampunk influence and add to the decor. I think the photos below indicate it will at least be different. And you can see I have used more the bike gear cassettes. The copper is recycled from a shower base. THe display is 40mm wide and 700mm long.

Given it is Friday I think I will leave the post at that and relieve a bottle of red of some internal pressure.
Wonderful display, and the beauties displayed. I'll take these, yes indeed!I'd love to see the "Steampunk-ish coffee machine". I raise a glass of Our Daily Red to you.
ReplyDeleteLl - thanks for checking this out n raising a glass of red - global bonding with wine. When the other bits are up I will post again. B
DeleteLove the board, Barry, and even cooler with all the wares! Enjoy your evening wine... :)
ReplyDeleteHi VA - doing a bit of comment catch up in an airport waiting lounge. I thnk the board will be a draw card but not sure if I will sell wares or the board! B
DeleteWonderful!! I wouldn't be surprised if you got orders for steampunk picture frames ....mirror frames or blackboards.
ReplyDeleteR - I agree - I may get a whole new line of business. Go well. B
DeletePerfect.... but I'll have to stay away. The earring collection is busting out all over.
ReplyDeleteJ - I think there is always room for more earrings - there is always a new day. B
DeleteGreat board, Barry, and your steampunky collection look wonderful there. I'm still thrilled with my steampunk/watch parts earrings, and have worn them obsessively every day since they arrived, which must be a couple of months now.
ReplyDeleteC - makes me smile to know you wear and enjoy your earrings - simple but quirky and stylish. Go well. B
