Thanks Stranger!

Thanks to the stranger (a Dwelling Spaces shopper) who gifted me two wrist watches. You brought a smile to my face and truly touched my heart. I am not able to thank you in person so I hope  this will do. Thank You. Thanks to you, and many others who have found me at shows and dropped off bags of broken watches & wayward bits-n-bobs. I have been shown such kindness & support as an artist and it keeps me going. New from my little Steampunk Workshop:

Monocle-Goggles for the Traveling-Reader among you!

Steampunk Countess's Emerald Monocle-Pin.

To fashion to your evening gown or vest, and the monocle unhooked when needed.

I've been on a bit of a monocle kick lately, more inventions are in the works. Of course that does mean I will have to put down Dead Iron at some point...very difficult to do. I recommend it highly though I am still mid-way through its pages.

Bohemian Romance now at Dwelling Spaces!

I am delighted to say that you can now find my jewelry in Dwelling Spaces!  I am honored and proud to be among such crafty folks and fellow make:Tulsans (Gleeful Peacock & Weather & Noise)! I had tons of fun last week creating my display: another antique printer drawer upcycled, a vintage gardener's tray (which I fashioned with a pin cushion and filled with some tiny lightbulbs, various vintage buttons, a page from an old Japanese novel, & a bit of lace), and an Atomventor's Jar (pictured on the top right).

I will be posting a D.I.Y. on how to make your own Atomventor's Jar on Wednesday! So if you're going to a garage sale, flea market, or simply raiding your dad's barn or shed--be sure to snag a couple lightbulbs! Try and find ones that will fit through a Mason Jar's opening.
