Yard Sale finds and New Pieces
Mostly a picture entry today… But this past week has rocked. I turned 36 (woo!), and for some reason that made me feel happy instead of old. I also have a few new exciting custom projects lining up to keep my mind busy. I have a party to look forward to next weekend at my place, and a party during the week to go to and hopefully connect with some other artists. The world has been particularly kind this week – and I am excited, enthused, inspired.
First off, the promised sterling steampunk record player pendant – I loved making it, and I think it turned out pretty nifty:
Also a new gorgeous Alice etched pendant using an engraving from John Tenniel. I used countersunk sanded rivets in the back for a smooth finish:
And my yard sale finds!It was the island’s seventy mile yard sale today, and I scrounged up som nifty finds. An old deacons bench to be used for putting on my riding boots and half-chaps, a TLR camera ( a Pucky), and best of all an antique fire extinguisher. This just appealed so wholeheartedly to my whole steampunkish sort of aesthetic that I am working with right now. All that antiqued brass, embossing and rivets gives me goosebumps. I was downright giddy when I found it for a mere and paltry $25. Score!
