A visionary architect as far as spiders go, this one’s web had two hemispheres for top and bottom with a plane sandwiched in the middle.

A couple trinkets I’ve made recently, both more intended to be pendants than anything else. I know they’re not perfect and that’s kind of the point. I think some things just ought not to be, like people.
The first is hand cut copper inlaid in eucalyptus. One side of it has an alpha and the other the omega. It is woodstained and waxed. Once strung, it will be able to flip back and forth by chance, revealing one side or the other. Not always first, not always last…
The second is assembled with salvaged gears from an old camera. Through electroplating, I deposited a layer of copper over the steel gears to give it a brighter appearance. The gears mesh and spin freely in pivot holes in the wood. The wood is again stained eucalyptus, finished by waxing and is hand made.
