Little John Bull

I'm always reluctant to post anything throughout the summer.

We start working on Fall and Christmas items in late spring, and have little else to post for the warm months.

But, the first show of the season starts in a couple of weeks

 (Ball's Falls Thanksgiving Festival, Oct. 9-12... more about that soon.)

 and this one's not too Christmasy, is it?

A little Dresden-esque John Bull steam engine.

Made of recycled paper, cardboard and found objects, with aged cast metal wheels.

About 4inches long x 3.5inches tall.

 

One of many, many new items we'll be taking to the show.

Finials

 

About 28.5inches tall x 5.5inches wide.

Made from a wide array of materials; plaster, fiberglass, wood, resin... and finished in a heavily aged paint finish.

-Sold-

White Heron

 

Sold.

 

My life-size white heron, made of white burlap, wood, muslin, papier mache, wire....

 

Approx. 32.5inches tall, 31.5inches tip to tail.

 



Industrial clock

Sold.

My Industrial clock, using old convex glass.

I repainted the old frame, made and painted a new wooden face, custom made hands and added a new quartz battery-powered movement. 

 

Curiosity got the better of me...

Sold.

We're packing up for this weekend's show, and until then I wasn't planning on posting any more pictures. But seeing this guy sitting patiently waiting to be packed up, I had to take a quick picture.

One of my curiosities under a glass cloche, available this weekend.

Hope you can make it.
