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.
Your dedication to detail is astounding! I love your time machine as much as I love the old movie.

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.
ReplyDeleteAs for your new baby; may it grow slow but steady :) Better that, then to shoot out and die on you :/
J'adore ce genre de création!
