These are kind of an homage to my friend Victoria of Experimetal. She does the balled hinge connection better than anybody. This is not her style though-- it is more a blend of both of our styles.
From the post ball these measure just under 7/8" long by 1/2" wide. They are all sterling silver and have been tumbled in steel shot for a shiny finish.

Fort Schuyler is a preserved 19th century fortification in the New York City borough of the Bronx. It houses a museum, the Stephen B. Luce Library, and the Marine Transportation Department and Administrative offices of the State University of New York Maritime College. It is considered one of the finest examples of French-style fortifications. The fort was named in honor of Major General Philip Schuyler of the Continental Army.

Blackened silver with 18K gold flowers. The earrings have a post back, but the hinge between the two sections allows the earring to have movement.
A black, decorative hinge on the red wooden door of a temple building in Japan. Close-up of the corner.
The roof opens as if hinged from the back, yawning to the Eastern view. The opening is glazed to allow light to seep in under the eaves and is shared between rooms through the interior clerestory windows and transoms.

A close up of some sort of hinge type malarkey. Taken in Cornwall at 'Dairyland' outside the barn where the animals were, just a quick shot as I hadn't taken anything that day that wasnt people or animal based and I had a craving for something more "arty". Treated to a frame and some tweaks in Photoshop.

After Drazelic's recent call to arms against the Tyranny of the Tap, I spent some time rebuilding the hip connection on my Imp (which, for some reason, has become my go-to guinea pig for this sort of thing).
In general, this connection actually works pretty well, but the white hinge used for the left hip is a bit floppy and prone to coming free from the pelvis. The black one on the right is more stable and even stayed connected after a 2 foot drop.
From an aesthetic standpoint, I think it comes of a bit thick and blocky, which isn't necessarily a bad thing; even when it is a bad thing, it could probably be dealt with pretty easily with some decorative greeblies or armor-bits (yes, those are technical terms...)
