Also found in HST's 'The Great Shark Hunt' - a postcard of VFL player John Coleman. The postcard has an autograph at the front and the printed details for 'The Melbourne Sports Depot' on the reverse.

 

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

I put the three pottery mini-mini heads in with my found objects collection.

 

Created with fd's Flickr Toys

These are small 2.5" x 2.0" Easter-themed molds that were sold as vintage Christmas Tree ornaments. I found them charming and plan to use them as jewelry elements.

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.

Seen in a parking lot somewhere in Montana. I had location services Turned Off so I do not know where specifically this was taken. On the Hi-Line along highway 2 generally.

Found object - 9am

This mooring ring seemed to me like a Henry Moore sculpture in minature. So you could say it's a very Moorish mooring ring :-)

Fairy bottle necklace. Thing a fairy may find as treasure. Shells, vintage watch parts, dried flowers, moss, an insects leg, an insects wing, moss, lichen and sea shells

Entirely made of recycled materials, with more than 100,000 beer and soda cans, hubcaps, screen doors, wooden windows, bicycle reflectors and more, this amazing folk art environment was built by Dominic "Cano" Espinosa, a Native American Vietnam vet. Inspired by "Vitamin Mary Jane" and Jesus, Espinoza has spent over 30 years working on what he calls "Jesus' Castle."

 

Espinoza began building Cano's Castle in 1980 in thanks for having his life spared during the Vietnam War. The four main structures: "The King" (the largest tower), "the Queen" (the tower standing next to the King), "the Palace" and "the Rook" (flanking the King).

This piece would fit well during the 4th Sunday in Advent (Dec. 20th), where we have the Canticle, Song of Mary, and hear the Gospel reading from Luke of Mary's visit to Elizabeth (mother of John the Baptist).

But I was anxious to put out some decorations, and this is one I assembled.

 

I have a small collection of Madonna's, and when I found this MOM shelf, I knew I had a place to showcase a few of them.

The Jesus statue behind it is a representation of the huge "Christ the Redeemer" statue that stands on the mountain top in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I think it gives a great message of how Jesus felt about Mary - with His arms outstretched to His mother....MOM!

 

Jesus, God incarnate (in the flesh), was born of Mary - Mary, the one chosen by God to give birth to the Messiah, the Savior of the world.

Mary had her baby boy, nursed Him, cuddled Him, sang to Him, cared for Him, taught Him, disciplined Him, soothed Him, and most of all LOVED Him. All the things that mothers do - she was His Mom. And as Moms know, not only is there great love in being a Mom, there is much heartache and sorrow as well, especially in Mary's case and all that she had to see her Baby Boy go through as an adult.

  

"Mary Did You Know"

 

[lyrics by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene]

 

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know

that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?

This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

 

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?

Did you know

that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?

When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

(More lyrics to this song and this song are on my blogsite robertasrandom.blogspot.com )

Butterfly wing with vintage French text . Translation " The Wings"

This piece started with a safety pinion from a long-defunct antique pocket watch. It had some wonderful depressions that once held the works of the watch. I gently filled them with epoxy resin and then carefully arranged assorted steampunk goodies, primarily more watch parts in the resin . In addition, the piece is about 1 1/4" in diameter and is on a 16" vintage chain with a safety clasp. I am a trained, if somewhat geary, silversmith and have built this piece to last. Suitable for male or female adornment.
