Part of the cycle of life and death. Found in spring grasses in the Cranbrook area, East Kootenay, British Columbia, Canada.
Door knockers, etc. 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.
An object found while walking along the boardwalk at Black River Marsh. From a distance I thought that it was a frog sunning itself.

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.

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 necklace just was awarded First Place at the Visual Arts Exchange "Unfettered" show. It is made from a deconstructed vintage straight razor.

I took a wonderfully distressed vintage faucet handle and secured a watch case in its center. This allowed me to put resin in and then carefully add steampunk goodies, mainly watch parts but some hardware items as well. The faucet handle measures about 2 1/4" in diameter and hangs from a double link 16" chain that has a safety clasp. Suitable for male or female adornment.

This steampunk necklace honors the memory of the woman who inspired the Beatles' song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". It started with a watch part from a defunct vintage watch. I carefully placed black jewelers' resin in the decorative ring before adding the vintage rhinestone pin fragment over the authentic late 1800's tintype. I textured the outer edge of the watch ring before adding the blingy Swarovksi fireball--love these! Then I riveted on a retaining ring before hanging all this steamy delight on a 18" vintage pearl chain.
