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.
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.
"The Plastic Botanist" series ...
Discarded artificial flowers, ready for the garbage ... thought I would try to give them a new life ... on film at least.

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!

I found this in a gutter during my afternoon walk. I had to pick it up and now it is nailed to my fence. I am guessing it is from an old stove.
