The pieces that are on the bookshelf are there so I can look at them from 3 meters away, which is more than enough given their size. And Kat can attest to the fact that I am out and about far too much - if I had agoraphobia I'd get a lot more painting done!<br />The only flotsam that I collected but will not use in building a piece of art is the wind-up toy that throws off sparks, and it comes in very handy amusing small people so they don't get in to the paint before I can get a project ready for them.<br />@Kat: I didn't include pictures of the tiny bits I use for assemblages (boxes & shrines) since I've posted some before, and I wasn't sure how many photos people wanted to see of random tiny mechanical parts! There are a few that I'm using on the worktable, but most are in containers and trays in the chest of drawers, thus blissfully invisible. Maybe I'll do process photos next time I build something, along with the wide array of teensy cogs and arms I choose among.bhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364825365358044450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33767387604681185.post-36674571953889585002011-04-09T01:41:35.173+01:002011-04-09T01:41:35.173+01:00you should show them all your watch bits!you should show them all your watch bits!*https://www.blogger.com/profile/09793526399317516525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33767387604681185.post-47817431916261527432011-04-08T21:42:52.745+01:002011-04-08T21:42:52.745+01:00well now . .

It seems such a sensitive and subtle profession.bhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364825365358044450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33767387604681185.post-66606954603847588652011-02-23T06:27:20.526+00:002011-02-23T06:27:20.526+00:00i have an odd relationship with blogging, too. so...i have an odd relationship with blogging, too. sometimes i go gangbusters and post all my work and process, and then it starts to feel all too... i don't know, self indulgent maybe. or too exposed. anyway, i get self-conscious about it and so i stop for awhile. sometimes a long while. but i can definitely say it's good to see you back and writing/posting about your process and work :)LTPRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754182842876404262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33767387604681185.post-87694353615244373762011-02-22T19:36:26.294+00:002011-02-22T19:36:26.294+00:00@inkish: I am so much not a writer that there is v...@inkish: I am so much not a writer that there is very little that does tempts me to write on it ;-) besides they are usually covered with tiny messages, sometimes front and back.<br /><br />@kat: thanks!
