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.
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 is actually larger than actual size. This is the smallest thing I've ever found, but it's really amusing.

He's not sleeping, he's doing surveillance.
You'll need to walk over him, he's not getting up.

My grandmother used to have a sewing tin which was a recycled cookie tin. I remember I used to love peeking in and be fascinated by what I would find inside. Not only all sorts of sewing treasures, but other curious things like bits of paper, coins, keys, bits of candles, very short color pencils and photos of old. Today I was rummaging thru my shelves and saw my grandma’s tin. I never allowed it to be thrown away when she passed. I kept it as is. And it’s still exactly like the way she left it. This was what inspired “Treasured MEMORIES”.
“Treasured MEMORIES” is a rustic collection of nick nacks … a miniature book, an old key, different stones … some shiny, some not so, antique brass chains, fiber, coffee stained paper, bits of old lace and leather, all put together to form a chunky bracelet from yesteryears.
*the miniature book is handmade by me and measures 2cm x 3cm
*the papers in the miniature book are coffee stained
*the bracelet measures 7.5 inches in length
*the back is secured by a giant lobster clasp

I used bullet casings I found at a garage sale to make a found art necklace. I loved the shiney brass. I combined them with some gold metal buttons and green beads for this one of a kind necklace.
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.
