The swan started out as part of a buckle and it's asymmetrical shape gave me the opportunity to continue the assymetry theme. I treated it to an ammonia patina to create a moody steampunk vibe. The antique clockworks was a perfect counter point. The chain is made up of 3 different vintage chains, punctuated on one side with a wonderful vintage key featuring a lion and on the other side a very vintage oblong clock face. A safety clasp keeps it all together. Riveted together to last a lifetime or more. SOLD
n0 apologies for posting this 30 year old sculpture again.
the wild beaches of West Cornwall are still littered with more and more plastic with every tide.
Toxic to marine life ,or kids know its GOT TO STOP!

Renowned for its four seasons in one day, and miserably cold, shady and windy Winter courtesy of its grid layout, Melbourne does have the advantage over Sydney that it doesn't as much. So, as I headed out to a well hidden venue, of course it was raining! It was raining, it was rush hour and the chances of a ride were, well non-existent. My visit also coincided with a populist festival, disrupting timetables and transport routes. I did get there; with wet shoes and wet feet. And of course, the most direct route was over the spine of The Rocks and down precipitous stairs.
All around that rocky ridge are cuts, and sandstone block walls. All good retaining walls need to allow drainage, to weep, and this one is evidently doing its work well, and letting that rain out, on its way. Down here the urgency has gone away, there's time to wait for a bus, and a bus stop which hasn't been blacked out. I have hope that I may not have to scale those crazy stairs. Yes, I don't do standing still all that well. To settle my wet, restless feet I've let my eyes wander, instead of my feet, and they've fallen on this scene.
Talk about lazy! Whoever wedged their rubbish into this weep hole could have simply dumped it in the gutter with a good chance of it ending up in Sydney Harbour. Or if they really wanted to add to the plastic load, simply walked across Hickson Road and dropped it straight into Walsh Bay.

Pity the unfortunate Captain Wormsley Artemesia whose ill-fated decision to join the Secret Society of the Golden Claw would render his life thereafter intolerable. This locket, then, shows the hapless gentleman at about the time he sealed his own fate with the mark of his own hand. The Golden Claw partially obscures the visage of a fellow initiate, but we can be sure he fared no better. Let us draw the curtain here, dear reader, as no gain can possibly come from further delving into this sad tale of untrammeled vice!
This steampunk locket is large, measuring 2 1/2" tall by 2" wide in the closed position. The interior features 2 authentic tintypes from the late nineteenth century with a brass claw stamping. It hangs from a clear-coated distressed brass chain that is 30" long and has a vintage bayonet safety clasp although this item will easily slip over the head. If this chain is longer than you wish, it can be shortened at no cost by simply contacting me prior to shipment. Locket opens and closes with ease and has had its patina protected by a museum-quality wax. One of a kind! SOLD
