Spanner Art (with no Spanners!)

Good morning

SPANNER ART (WITH NO SPANNERS!)

The main driving force behind Spanner Art is to make use of garage debris (not always spanners) that would otherwise go to the dump. These two clocks are true to that principle as they feature a selection of parts that were just simply useless and beyond repair.

The brighter of the two is a sump plate from a Kawasaki motorcycle which had been twisted in an attempt to get it off the bike. No good for keeping oil in the engine but a coat of paint turned it into an interesting mount for a simple clock. 

The other clock is literally made of scrap parts. The backing plate has been badly damaged, the spark plugs don’t spark anymore and the chain running around the edge is stretched way beyond its usable limits. However, put them all together and you get a real statement piece for a man cave!

I hope you enjoy the these oddities and the sunshine if you have any.

Hedgerow Flowers

Tweet

Hi everyone

Over the course of the last week I have made a suite of jewellery which I never thought I would, as it’s much more flowery than what I usually make.  Using small flowers of many colours, and shell pearls as the centres, I layered them over and over to create a hedgerow effect.  Then, using a wire bar, I created a curve which is connected with pink and green mermaid coated quartz to create the neckline.

There is, of course, a pretty pair of ear rings to match.
