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.

Curious and perfectly pilloried chicken-bone, looming maniacally before the sprawling monad of downtown Dallas

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.

LOURDES is a religious tourist trap..but it is also very peaceful, and meditative. The city is absolutely charming , ok away from the junky religious tacky shops...

 

This 'found object' was found along the STATIONS OF THE CROSS. It was written in ENGLISH and wished/blessed all those who passed by.

 

It was a rather lovely gesture. Of course, the grounds are kept spotless, and it was removed not long after this photo was taken.

Found by a bus stop on campus.

I imagine this has sat in this very spot for the last 100 years. What is in it?

Angry dead Lego man. I wonder what his story is, I found him like this on the pavement.

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.

Sterling Silver

Found objects

 

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.

Page from old cookbook, photocopied shopping list (my grandmother's from 1920s), tea bags, fork (worn by 50 years beating/mixing)

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.

This is from my new series of assemblages/ icons created with antique decorative metal door plates. I made a tiny Frozen Charlotte like doll with a Plaster of Paris mold. I used great antique jewelry pieces, a greenish/bluish bead and pieces of jewelry chain. I used a little skeleton hands a glass orb and found pieces of text on the work. The text on the bead says “that of the earth being”. I liked the idea that the text has two meanings. Peering through the key hole is a list of the planets
