This cutlass style golden Steampunk lightsaber was created for Lord Kneeless Cutsome of the Royal Space Armada. He requested a glorious golden lightsaber thats mere presence would strike fear into any potential combatant. Unfortunately the very rare golden lampfoss I used to power the beam had only ever previously been used on planet Knowhery, When the beam lit up on Earth it instantly cause the lampfoss to harden due to oxygen exposure and the beam no longer retracted. Lord Kneeless Custome sliced his right leg off when putting the lightsaber away. I offered to make him a very special replacement bionic leg, but he declined! Hence this right royal lightsaber is for sale as an ornament only.
stinky cheese fun--
TROU DU CRU--yes, one has to prouncue that correctly otherwise..you are saying...TROU DU CUE--which means...A-HOLE!
PHOTOS FOLLOW...well of the cheese...yes, ADDA is back to his cheese addiction as well as photo addiction...ok, of TROU DU CRU not TROU DU CUE!
HAVING lots of fun in PARIS==lots of FOUND OBJECTS photo ops--including CESAR in the LUXEMBORG GARDENS...yes, a hunk dressed in a togo as CESAR for his bachelor party. he was a great sport as everyone was taking photos of him.
Though my fav FOUND OBJECT was a piece of blue and white pottery chard found after workers dug up pipes in the LUXEMBORG GARDENS. humm, its nice to think that it came from the destruction of the king's place way way back when.
speaking of destruction, our US dollar to the EURO...omg...what is that FRENCH word you just learned...yes, eating alot at home,,, hence the TROU DU CRU and bagettes, and wonderful fresh veggies!
and of course, one always celebrates destruction...yes, tomorrow, is the GRAND ANNIVERSARY OF THE MAY 1968 STRIKE that crippled PARIS...so, yes, everything will be shut down...we do not plan to venture far from home. as, to get in the spirit, this weekend the busses were on limited or NO run schedules. good time to stay in the neighborhood....which we love, and apparently our upstairs neighbor who purchased her place way back in 1962!
SO, tomorrow is TROU DU CUE day ,,,and we;ll just stay in the neighborhood and have fun...
big hugs...

Orifice Tower started out as a quick thumbnail sketch that I drew whilst waiting for a talk to commence at the Jerwood Space in Bankside. I can't remember now what the talk was about but at that time I was working on some small sculptures that were basically wooden boxes that incorporated carved apertures or orifices. By this stage I'd become aware of the fact that much of my work was getting smaller and smaller so I decided to remedy this by creating elevated versions of these new Orifice Box sculptures. This also tied in with my love of tower structures.

“Time passes too fast, and suddenly you realize that little people have turned into big people … only too soon”
I remember picking up this tiny old pencil from the floor outside my daughter’s kindergarten some years ago. In fact, thru the years I have picked up at least 3 tiny, discarded pencils. They all have similar characteristics … tiny, blunt, messed up, and all of them have battered butts, probably the result of little teeth chewing on them.
When I found this little pencil in one of my trays, images came flooding into my mind. Little kids sitting on little chairs and tables, drawing with pencils such as this one. How many children have found joy with this pencil? Could Llara be one of them? Did she ever use this pencil? Was she one of the little culprits who caused its battered butt? It made me smile …

The hereios of the We're Here! group have paid a visit to the
N.C.H.E.H. group today at the suggestion of ruthlesscrab.
I scouted around when I went shopping this morning but found nothing of interest 😟
This is my collection of found spanners; all but one are in Imperial units. The very rusty one was found by my father over fifty years ago.

My idea of what the Steampunk Bride should wear. VIntage clock parts, chandelier trim, vintage costume jewelry elements.
A closer look at the old alphabet stamp set I found at the flea market today. It is missing the letter "I", but came with an ampersand.
Acrylic painting on canvas, focusing on textures. Used palette knives, saran wrap, netting, and some found objects.
