Crap - to - Calliope


...or making lemonade out of a lemon.

 It' pretty doggone adorable, IMHO.  I meant to take a picture with a quarter to give an idea of the scale.  The body of the wagon is about as tall as a quarter.



Copper, brass, sterling silver, brooch,  2 1/2" x 1 3/8"  x 1/4"

Man, that cleaned up nice!

That is intricate work. It would drive me crazy to do stuff that small and intricate. (Not to mention stubby fingers and fall asleep a lot)
NICE, cool :)

I am amazed myself at how much I am enjoying this "tedious" stuff.

Laura Gable said...

It is very charming and a beautiful finished quality, Bobi. How very adorable.

Bobi, well done! You have way more patience than I do. This little detailed stuff is hard for me to do. Beautiful work. Are you soldering the pin onto the back?

Terrie said...

Very cool. It has a nice vintage vibe to it and the detail is extraordinary. So pretty.

Wendy, yes, I soldered a pin on the back. It also opens, the whole front pulls out. I made a kind of spring tension to hold it in place but haven;t gotten the "spring" back into it properly after soldering annealed it.
Terrie, yeah, it's kind of 'steam punk meets Cinderella." :)
