The new Time Machine


I was commissioned to make another Time Machine. I have learned and grown a lot, and also purchased some different materials for this adventure, and adventure it was!


Some in progress shots. Here is the box laying on my home made magnet jig. And a little can of Humbrol oil paint. This paint is awesome.



It took months to complete this project. But heck, towards the end, I was snowed in anyhow :)



The little time machine required lots of soldering of tiny hand made parts. Scary! I had much fun turning brass, including my own turned brass pins. 



The box is all hand painted.

UPDATE 
on the little lemon tree:


This little guy is definitely not in any hurry to grow up! It's a slow go, but he's working on his second set of leaves.

  4. You have out done yourself with this one. The painting and finish on the box is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the tufted red velvet interior. The machine is so detailed. Your soldering skills are fantastic. It is so charming I wish I could have seen it in person. The pictures are beautiful but I am sure they can't begin to do this piece justice. ;-))

  9. Hey! These pictures are fantastic! Likewise & for the same reasons as you do. To see how your hands & mind work :) And it's some wicked, fun and unusual piece as well. Beautifully made Linda! Whoever receives it picked the right artisan.

    As for your new baby; may it grow slow but steady :) Better that, then to shoot out and die on you :/
