The uranium glass piece is shaped like a classical jug or ewer with an elegant curly handle. The smoke-blackened bulb on the left contains a vertical coaxial wire, and the tube on the right contains a wiggly inner tube like some kind of condenser.
A braze welded sculpture of recycled bicycle parts. The legs and hips are rear derailleur plates, and the tail, head, and jaw of the mount is a brake lever and housing. The teeth are chain pins on a link plate.
The rider's torso is made of two rear derailleur mounting pegs, and a brake caliper forms its shoulders and arms. In its right manipulator is a spring clip from the underside of a saddle, and in its left is a staff of a handlebar stem bolt and expander nut, rear derailleur spring, and a wheel bearing race nut.
On its shoulders is an epaulette of a brake cable guide sleeve and a head of a tube clamp and alignment washer. It wears a jaunty hat of a headset locknut.
FOUND ITEM- photo on flickr.....well, originally MR HUNK found ADDA!
Way back in the day, MR. STUD was in a BARE CHEST CONTEST at the EAGLE BAR with his then boyfriend.
Yes, a lesson learned boyfriends, NEVER let your boyfriend enter a naughty contest, unless you want to loose him.
This hunk got up on stage and brought down the house. OK. He was hella handsome.
During the contest, they asked MR HUNK several questions, just think, MS. AMERICA, except in a gay leather bar, so the answers were a tad different than " I WOULD LIKE WORLD PEACE'....
The answer was usually, 'I'D LIKE A PIECE OF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD'...
and hence, when asked about HUNKS boypal, MR. HUNK said, "UP THE BOYFRIEND, he wanted....(hold your breath) ,,,THAT GUY! and pointed to ADDA !
Well, ADDA being cool and coy, smiled back, and answered something which I have completely forgot these days...
but it was nice and sweet..though MR HUNKS boyfriend stared daggers into ADDA.
adda IS sure It didnt help boyfriend matters that MR HUNK jumped down off the stage and planted a HUGE wet kiss on ADDA...
the crowd went WILD...and of course, MR HUNK won the contest.
Well, MR. HUNK also went on to do porn and tons of 'rendez-vous' . ..
and MR HUNK become ADDA's #1 fan...
No matter where ADDA was , MR HUNK would constantly break any situation , any stride, just to come up and chat with ADDA.
All MR HUNK would have to do is see ADDA, and (gulp), MR HUNK would bee line straight to ADDA...
ADDA would spot him in a crowd, and as soon as MR HUNK saw ADDA, he would break whatever he was doing or chatting...BEE LINE to ADDA.
Granted, this happened all the time to ADDA, but somehow having a 'star' jump off stage to plant one on ADDA , always endeared MR HUNK to ADDA.
SO, MR HUNK...where-ever you are--thank you - may peace be with you....you will always be in my heart. and fondly remembered..
(geesh, of all the porn stars ADDA bagged in the day, this was one ADDA did not!)

This necklace started with a beautiful antique clockworks engraved with "Elgin Nat'l Watch Co" and measuring 1 1/2" in diameter. To the clockworks I riveted a copper-coated brass stamping of an old steam locomotive, possibly the "Best Friend", not sure as it is unmarked. To complete the steampunk vibe, I added a vintage clock face and brass cog. This gorgeous assemblage hangs from an 18" vintage hammered-textured brass chain which features a safety lobster clasp. I am a trained silversmith and have assembled this piece with rivets to last one or more lifetimes. One of a kind.
Setting up for making some unusual chains. Links on left being prepped for solder, completed links and elements in the plastic case. Yet to be readied are some coyote teeth and snake vertebrae.

This happy little fella was started in Michael de Meng's Mad Alchemist's Cabinet workshop at Valley Ridge Art Studio. He consists of an old box, doll arms, deer skull, plastic bags, an old stand, a stone, a clock part, two sleigh bells and some transfers. Oh yeah, and a home-made condom. Exhibited in The Riverwest Artists' Associations February gallery show The Thin Line, a thematic exhibition that explores the infamous thin line between love and hate which ran February 13 – March 11, 2010.

Fenton, MO
At a wide spot on a trail through a wooded area, someone had left an odd array of things--a steam iron, a child's packet of school portraits, cups, jewelry, etc.--after partially burning some of them.
This started with what is possibly a clock housing. Challenged by the current Etsy SteamTeam's contest to make a steampunk piece with moving parts, I immediately got the idea of making a steampunk version of the child's toy that has a cardboard bottom with holes and several free-rolling balls which can be put in the holes by manipulating the toy. So I used some existing holes and added a wonderful cog and several other steamy watch parts to give a more challenging terrain for moving the balls over and into. There is a protective pocket watch lens cover that has the haze of age upon it and the 3 tiny balls are Sterling silver so that they show up clearly against all the lovely old brass. The "toy" is prong-set on a vintage brass filigree and the whole assemblage dangles from a 22" vintage gold-filled chain. Some vintage chain dangles off the toy for further steamy vibes. I am a trained, if somewhat playful, silversmith and have assembled this piece to last.
Look at the present one of the neighbors left for me this morning! Yup! Best of Black Street Hookers #4! I love my neighborhood! Based on the picture, none of the local working women will be found on this collection. . . they tend to be considerably older and have fewer teeth.
I decided not to share the picture of the dead cat that I also saw on the way to work this morning. . .
The four stepping stones together. I hope our grandchildren will have fun looking for "treasures." :)
The butterfly may get moved one day... but for now they are in place.
When the wood of the deck dries out well and is painted I think we'll be settled with them.

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.
Smokers take turns waiting for the "void".

Inspired by the Vestie Davis painting Luna Park, this bracelet features a fun and funky jumble of beads. Color seems to be my nemesis so I am on a quest to add more color to this design, and I think I used them all here! Bracelets are a challenge for me too, but superstar designer Lorelei makes it look so easy, so I am trying to break my necklace only streak.
Much of the components came from a kit I bought from Jennifer Heynen of Jangles (www.jangles.etsy.com). Kit included the Jangles toggle, some ceramic rounds, the tiny dice and bingo chip and strands of multicolored seed beads.
To this mix I added some assorted beads including a glass heart from my Rings & Things blog partner goodie bag, sterling silver bead, a vintage blue boot button and the cutest little lady bug I purchased from Andrew Thornton's treasure trove.
And the chain? Oh yeah...found object (my specialty)...part of a steel choke chain for dogs I picked up at the hardware store! You really can find inspiration everywhere!
Enjoy the day!
