Fellow Etsian, TotusMel, practices the art of tatting and is sponsoring a challenge to declare that "Tatting is not a Lost Art". I purchased the tatted medallion from her and having just finished another entry for the Etsy Steamteam's contest "Time Flies" thought it would be fun to turn things around a bit, thus this piece "Flies' Time"! The tatted piece is fastened to a watch back plate to ensure a steampunk vibe. The 2 little flies which I have applied some special patinas to seem to puzzle over the watch face which has no hands. This lovely assemblage is riveted to a bow-shaped vintage filigree which hangs from a 16" brass chain with a similarly motley-hued patina to the flies. A safety lobster clasp secures everything. I am a trained silversmith and have assembled this piece with care to last a lifetime or more.
This was one of 147 photos from four rolls of Kodak Portra 160 which I finally had processed in February of 2025 at PEI Photo Lab in Charlottetown. The photos were all taken between 2020 and 2022 in Whitehorse, Yukon. I seem to recall taking most, if not all, with my old Canon AT-1 film camera from the 1970's.
This photo was taken in 2020 or 2021 on a trail in Whitehorse, Yukon. Since then we have moved to the other side of the country. The film bearing this photo was processed in February of 2025.
Copper flower, clip for ruler part, clock face with rhinestone brad, arrow turn, vintage optical lens, tiny hinge, black photo turn, round screen, hand charm, Maya Road blossom ribbon slide, amusement token, and Tim Holtz jump rings are available from Bonnie's Best. Remaining items are costume jewelry parts and found objects.
My finds from the Alemany Flea Market in South San Francisco. It was a gorgeous day and the vendors were in a mood to haggle! (and flirt)
Another happy convergence of materials! The wonderful silver pocketwatch case-half had just arrived as part of a destash trade with fellow Steamteam member dbvictoria and the very blingy skull and crossbones found a home upon it. I was able to put a lot of movement into this one. The beautifully engraved safety pinions (the 2 half-moon shaped watch parts) hang freely from the black anodized aluminum and silver chain. They support the watch case on wire wraps with Swarovski crystal accents. The skull is firmly riveted to the watch case and the bones and clock hand swing freely underneath. The chain is black up past the collarbones then becomes a slender silver chain with a sterling lobster clasp. I am a trained silversmith and put this piece together with great care for long term adornment and enjoyment. Let' em eat steam!
things i picked up on my trip to the flea market on Sat. I also picked up 5 tins.
The blue bird brooch is my favorite find ever !
This glove was found on the gravel next to railroad tracks. I'm sure there could be many stories about the hand that wore it.
These have faux gold leaf, acrylic paint and decayed watch face images. Heavy crackle finish on the dark lenses. SOLD.
Nick found a pile of these in a telephone booth in the city.
I can't find anything about it on google, I don't know if I've looked hard enough though. I uploaded a scan, you can view "all sizes" if you want to read it.

This piece started life as the half of an oversized locket (2 1/2"x2"). By the time I found it, the top of the locket was gone. I turned it on its side, added resin and steampunk goodies, primarily watch parts. And what lovely parts they are! an antique safety pinion engraved with a design and the words "H.W.W. Co., Waltham Mass, 17 Jewels". A gold engraved speed adjuster to make the watch go faster or slower, wonderful tiny gears and screws. One part still has a tiny ruby in it! I distressed the outside of the locket to enhance the steampunk vibe, added some fishing gear dangles and put it on a very long vintage chain (28"). The chain could even be doubled around your slender neck. I am a trained, if somewhat timely, silversmith and have built this piece to last.
Door escutcheons! My favorite vendor at the local flea market, Deb, the metals lady allowed me to take some shots of her wonderful bounty offered for sale.
Discarded artificial flowers and vase, both ready for the garbage ... thought I would try to give them a new life ... on film at least.
These plastic flowers are actually in a sorry state, tattered and dusty but it is amazing how they come back to life on film.
