This piece belongs in what I call, my Post-IT Collection. Quite different from what I would normally do, this collection is quirky, fun, playful and would definitely kick-start a conversation! I hope it brings a smile to your face as it did to mine when I first conceived this idea :)
A true statement piece … created with polymer clay, imprints and then handpainted individually. The focal beads are finished with a thick coat of resin giving it a glass-like feel, at the same time magnifying all the beautiful details of the imprints within.
* The ear wires are 20 gauge, .925 sterling silver plated wires (copper core), slightly hammered for strength and form.
* The resin is supposedly waterproof (as stated on the packing that comes with the resin) but just for safety purposes I would not advise wearing the pendant while swimming or in a shower.

A post box on the side of the 'Rabbit Run' road from Telford to Wombourne in Shropshire (and Staffordshire respectively) UK. Locals will know it, others probably have their own 'Rabbit Runs'........anyway, I digress. I nearly got run over twice by passing cars when trying to get the right angle for the shot from a precarious footing on the roadside verge.
Grand Concourse, Concourse Village, Bronx, New York City, New York, United States
The Bronx Post Office, built in 1935-37, was designed by the architect Thomas Harlan Ellett in a style< which combined modified classical ornament with the elegant simplicity of modem architecture, A description in Architectural Forum for June 1938 states: "A distinct modem influence and the continuing tradition of "government classic' are the two conflicting tendencies which have resulted in the first signs of vitality in American post office design, and the new Bronx Post Office is an excellent example of best recent work ... the building subtly suggests a Georgian precedent without the use of traditional detail Plans for a much needed Bronx Post Office were announced in 1934; the building was to be erected at the Grand Concourse site which the Federal Government had purchased twenty-five years earlier.
Construction began in 1935 under the direction of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury Department, Louis A..Simon, and of the Supervising Engineer, Neal A. Melick. The cornerstone was laid on June 13, 1936, with Postmaster General James A. Farley and New York City Postmaster Albert Goldman officiating. Farley made the occasion an opportunity to assail the critics of the New Deal. The same officials were present at the opening of the new building on May 15, 1937, when it was announced that the building would be known as the Bronx Central Annex and would serve as the Bronx headquarters of the New York Post Office.
The Post Office occupies an entire block. Its smooth gray brick walls rise above a granite terrace which varies in height along the side elevations to conform to the slope of the street. Broad, shallow steps lead up to the three entrances facing the Grand Concourse. The terrace is enclosed by a classically-inspired balustrade, flanked at the entrance steps by blocks decorated with highly stylized swags and rosettes and carrying flagpoles. The ornate foliate bronze flagpole bases have a rather baroque character.
The most prominent features of the building are the graceful window openings set within marble arches which contrast handsomely with the smooth gray brick walls. Radial brick arches, above impost block level, enframe the marble arches of the window openings. The three openings which contain the bronze entrances are set within deep reveals. The facades are crowned by a simple continuous stone bandcourse set with stylized rosettes and containing the inscription "Bronx - United States Post Office - New York."
Two sculptures, larger than life-size, affixed to the front facade add further interest to the building. The designs were chosen from over 400 models submitted in a national competition held in 1936. "The Letter," designed by Henry Kreis, portrays a mother and her child receiving a message from an absent member of the family, "Noah," by Charles Rudy, depicts the Patriarch, with a deer in one arm, straddling the Ark, and receiving the dove's message that the flood was subsiding. Also of considerable artistic and historical interest are thirteen murals in the main lobby depicting the occupations of American workers, painted by Ben Shahn and his wife, Bernards Bryson, in August 1939.
The elegant simplicity of the building with its finely exacted details make it one of the best examples of government architecture in this style* It is notable not only for its architecture but also for its sculpture and paintings. It met a long-felt need in The Bronx when built, and continues to serve that function today.
- From the 1976 NYCLPC Landmark Designation Report
After decades of rampant technological advancements, in which humanity believed they could do anything and go anywhere, Earth collapsed. Millions died by the lack of food, water and fresh air.
The few that remain survive by scavenging what they can to keep their lives going on.
On a now arid planet, two former astronauts and their companion bot roam across the globe on an old rocket maintenance airship searching for parts to fulfill what they are born to do: going beyond the sky, across the infinite blackness of space, exploring the unknown.
Some say they are crazy, others believe they can save mankind. But for them it's always an adventure, one they wish would never end.
