Bracelet made from various bits and pieces from my visit to Istanbul: the file was bent in Hrac's workshop as a demonstration, the other bits of iron were picked up around the city. The blue glass "evil eye" bead came from Ayse (set in the ferule from the file) , the quartz from the grand bazaar and the horseshoe nail came from one of the students I taught.

FOUND ITEM at the HUNKY JESUS CONTEST...it was fun finding a few things at the contest grounds, but it was MORE fun seeing other photographers capturing those LOST ITEMS ! ADDA wanted to tap them on the shoulder and say, "If you want views, go for the BARE CHESTS, if you want FOUND OBJECTS go to ADDA's non-view flickr set!" LOL
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 goodies to the front of it. There is a vintage safety pinion, 2 interestingly shaped brass parts and the clockworks from a vintage ladies' oblong watch. 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 escutcheon which has been embellished with a striking black and gold Swiss watch face. A heavy double brass 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.
Continental Motors once built car engines on this site, but the buildings have been abandoned for many years. Here you see a collection of discarded items on the cracked concrete in front of the boxy buildings with their colorful wall art.

This tin can angel seems to burst out of the wall. He's little different and funny. Ingredients are a tin can, spring, hinge, doll arms, sewing machine hinge and air-dried clay face.
"This is my proposal tape of sorts; introducing my wife and her son to me. I drove them from Sac. to Berkeley for 2 years (sp?) festival and sang every word of every song to them - simply jammin'. I've always said I can't sing good but when I sing I'm happy."
Love this sardine can cause it still has the key and the tin roll. Inside has marbled paper, a wrist watch, plastic leaves and a real burr. On top is a clay raven.

Yeah ... coming across such things is kind of like peeking through a knothole ... or a wormhole that provides a glimpse into an alternate universe. But my curiosity does have its limits.
Plundering through my stash, I found some watch parts I had forgotten about. I so love the guilloche engraving on this one.
The colours in this stained label are sadly faded. A nice image though, showing (as usual) a much grander set of blocks than the box actually contains.
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.
