Another piece utilizing the great techniques I learned this summer with Diane Falkenhagen. This one combines some really gorgeous snail? shells from a very vintage necklace and makes use of a watch case half as a centerpiece. The other elements are either brass ovals with resin, mica, gold leaf and a shell or some more roughly gold-leafed papier mache/polymer beads. This one will probably be entered in an upcoming juried show.

Found in our garden in Herne Hill South London 1979. Its either very old or someone's failed ceramics project...
An old cigarette packet found under our floorboards, I've no idea of the date but I like to think it was discarded there when the house was built around 1910. Any suggestions on dates for this?
…and the bottom flap on the inner sliding container.
In this piece plastic, resin, colored pencils, and Sharpies come together on a filigree to create a little steampunk magic. The Octopus was hand-drawn by me and riveted to a filigree, then filled in with resin on the back for extra durability. He dangles from an 16"vintage brass chain and there is a little mermaid dangling off the bottom of the filigree. I am a trained, if somewhat twisted, silver smith and have assembled this piece to give many years of pleasurable adornment. One of a kind. Let'em eat steam!

A single boot standing on the deck like it had just kicked it's mate off and was thinking about what to kick off next.

I took time out for a little thrift shopping during the ECU Metals Symposium and found a few things Bob Ebendorf had missed! It's the first time I have seen a pince-nez with a hairpin attached.

Signage isn't my usual stock in trade, but finding my long-time friend and hairstylist frustrated by having to place an exit sign in his beautiful space spurred me to help out with something that would fit his aesthetic and satisfy the insurance company. Etched copper with found objects and patinas.

These snap pieces were found along the Eastbank Esplanade in Portland, OR. We found a trail down to a little ledge over the river, and I started picking these up, thinking they were muddy. Wrong! They had been in clothing that had been burned. Kind of creepy, but I took them home anyway and cleaned them up. They make a nice shaking sound.
Startups often have a playful character in the early days. Glycos Bio is no exception.
I wish I could have stayed longer, but alas, it was a day trip.

I have taken a vintage brass locket(1 3/4" x 1 1/2"), given it a dark ammonia patina and riveted all sorts of steampunk delights to the front of it. There is a beautifully engraved, old safety pinion inscribed "American Waltham Watch Co," they don't make them like this any more! Also there is a fragment of a swiss watch dial and vintage steel and brass cogs. I have left the inside of the locket empty for your pictures, although if you wanted tintypes in there I could add them for an additional charge. The beautifully embellished locket dangles from a decorative vintage brass seashell. A heavy copper rolo chain of 18" completes the piece. A sturdy lobster clasp will keep this secure. All items, including the chain, have been clear-coated to protect patinas and finishes. I am a trained silversmith and have assembled this piece with care to last for many generations. One of a kind.
