I chose an Australian gum tree pod as my found object. It is set with blind rivets and held in place by tension and some stitches that I pulled up in metal.
I saw this wonderful face with the pins, glitter glue and whatever in bmuses Etsy shop and knew I wanted to do something interesting with it. He sat around the studio for a couple of weeks while I was working on King Neptune's Favorite and then finally the Art Nouveau door escutcheon surfaced and he started letting me know who he was and what he needed. I have in mind that he is part of the awakening of Spring and our hearts and minds as we stretch, gaze into the sunlight and start to dig in the warm spring earth, to weed and see what delights might be coming in the way of flowers and fruits. He is made with the afore-mentioned Art Nouveau door escutcheon, patinated leaf shapes, found iron ring, watch part halo and of course the inspiration for this piece the wonderful polymer face cab from bmuses. He was intended to be a magnet and so the head is attached by the magnet only. If you feel this would be a problem in your household, just let me know and I will epoxy the daylights out of it and the head will stay put. All other connections are my usual rivets which will last one or more lifetimes. He measures 10" by 3 1/2" and is somewhat heavy. Welcome Spring and to the Lord of the Dark Earth. check my profile for availability

An object found while walking along the boardwalk at Black River Marsh. From a distance I thought that it was a frog sunning itself.
No polymer this week! Found objects, antique findings, old brass buttons, wirework and ocean jasper--love that stuff!

This guy looks lethal, but he's a little unsure of himself. He's a can lid, doll eyes, and oil can lid for a nose, springs, plastic wings, and a misc. piece of metal
This piece has parts from my grandson's discarded monster bat. It has half a baby body inside a can and mounted on a paint brush. "Gems" are added. I think he's neat.
Part of the cycle of life and death. Found in spring grasses in the Cranbrook area, East Kootenay, British Columbia, Canada.
Bull and Bottle
Found Objects Project (things found in our house)
The bottle is a Demijohn and we have many. Mostly filled with aguardiente (water with teeth) probably made in the still from one of my earlier pictures in the series. I have no idea what the bull is for.
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!
These are standard welding/brazing goggles that have been embellished with well-sealed faux gold leaf which was further "antiqued" with a faux finish. The filigrees and gears on either side are brass which has been treated with a patina and firmly riveted on.
