"This is my proposal tape of sorts; introducing my wife and her son to me. I drove them from Sac. to Berkeley for 2 years (sp?) festival and sang every word of every song to them - simply jammin'. I've always said I can't sing good but when I sing I'm happy."

For all the Danes,
as well as the men of the Scyldings.
it was a heart pain
a shock for the thanes to suffer,
and a grief in the mind of each of the earls, when,
on that sea-cliff, they came upon
AEscher's head.--
Beowulf -- lns 1420-1425

Hands Together: An Icon Incarnate

I have taken a vintage brass locket(1 3/4" x 1 1/2"), given it a dark ammonia patina and riveted all sorts of steampunk goodies to the front of it. There is a vintage safety pinion, 2 interestingly shaped brass parts and the clockworks from a vintage ladies' oblong watch. I have left the inside of the locket empty for your pictures, although if you wanted tintypes in there I could add them for an additional charge. The beautifully embellished locket dangles from a decorative vintage brass escutcheon which has been embellished with a striking black and gold Swiss watch face. A heavy double brass chain of 18" completes the piece. A sturdy lobster clasp will keep this secure. All items, including the chain, have been clear-coated to protect patinas and finishes. I am a trained silversmith and have assembled this piece with care to last for many generations. One of a kind.
