So I had this old Zenith TV. The TV used to work fine, but when I took it to a photoshoot, the proprietary power connector snapped off.
I got bored and made it into a bookshelf. I will put the knobs back on when I have time to modify the old potentiometers. When I have access to some woodworking tools, I will make the front panel into a large door, with a hidden latch so that it can swing out (currently the contents must be accessed from behind) Since the console is sturdy, I am fairly certain I can do it without compromising the structure.
These steampunk goggles were created using welding goggles that I have modified for your wearing pleasure. Wanting these to look like vintage brass goggles, I gold leafed the goggles using faux gold leaf, then riveted on gorgeous vintage-style brass filigrees. Lenses are clear, elastic head band is adjustable.
When Prof. Erstwhile Entwhistle happened upon the wreckage of the Time Machine he was shocked at what he saw. Yes, the beautiful hand-etched brass ribbing was intact, even Lady Matilda Machination's gorgeous and ingenious control panel was present. Many other inspired and well-crafted items for journeying through space and time survived the crash. What puzzled him most however was the lack of human remains. Not a bone, scrap of cloth, hank of hair was present. A chill went up and down his back as all that he found were these time-traveler goggles. It is with much regret that he has entrusted me to put these up for sale with the proceeds earmarked for the repair of his precious mechanism. Let'em eat steam!

This Victorian-inspired crown is meant to pay homage to Marie Laveau, the iconic and storied Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. Assorted stories swirl around the Voodoo Queen and her gravesite has many visitors.
I constructed the crown out of chandelier parts, a door escutcheon, drawer escutcheons and found objects. The large central piece is an antique door escutcheon. The door knob would have gone where I placed the image of Marie Laveau. The side pieces are also antique drawer escutcheons and would have protected the wood around drawer handles on a bureau or other furniture. The large pointy metal beads that dangle on either side of the image reminded me of the okra so necessary for good gumbo and other Southern specialties. The copper heart and wings with Sterling Silver accents was made by friend and fellow-artist Erika. Finally I added in some bling with the Swarovski crystal fireballs. This piece is signed and dated and is a one-of-a-kind future heirloom.

These delightful pictures were kindly sent to Bloomfield and George and myself by the one and only Eliz. Avery. There are cosy cottage-type paintings on the back, but this side is much more interesting. We LOVE them!
ADDA's BEST & FAVs of 08- FOUND OBJECT at the TOUR DE FRANCE in LOURDES-
This was way too funny for my mom and I were in LOURDES when the TOUR DE FRANCE went through the town. Of course, with all the hype we have heard over the years, we wanted to check it out.
Well, the sidewalks were filled with folks waiting for hours for the bike race to pass.
HOURS.
..and the bikers zoomed passed so fast...well, it's a race...duh...
it was over in less than 4 minutes...impossible to take good photos....and alot of shuffling and pushing....
These ballons were attached to a pole and became detached and came racing towards us just before the bikers zoomed past.
The highlight of the race for adda
side view of this creepy lobster sculpture. IIRC the source lobster weighed about seven pounds. I ate him.
