Glow Fly

Yay! It's the last one in this series. I don't mind posting but it does take a lot of time. Trying to make a description of the build interesting can be challenging too.

As those who have followed me for awhile know I'm a bit obsessed with making mechanical insects. They are not easy to make. The legs need holes in the main body, the head needs a hole, the abdomen needs another hole. That's a lot of holes in a tiny piece of brass. The engineering is always a challenge. It does make it a bit easier if it's like this, mounted on a panel. I will make another but just anchor each piece, legs, body, head, abdomen, to the board. If I space it correctly - it will look like a joined mechanism hopefully.

I didn't use a LED for this one. I wanted it to look old, so I chose to use an incandescent globe. As it's only 3V it's not that powerful. You can really see the difference between the power use of an LED compared to old "Edison" bulbs. The light isn't the feature here - the insect is. So I didn't overly embellish the piece for that reason too.

The wings are brass charms but they are thin and fragile so I don't think they would hold up under heavy wear unsupported. As a pendant you would only have to worry about clothing or hair snags. The body is a small brass tube. I inserted four smaller tubes and poured in some resin. I drilled those out so I could thread the four legs (made from heated element wire and crimps). The wire leads from the bulb are threaded through as is the head (a heart shaped vintage copper bead) and finally to two tiny front legs/feelers. The eyes are simply phillip's head screws. The wings are screwed onto an hexagonal ring. That is attached using two more screws tightened onto the body. As the wires are so fine, I had to secure the body with an extra wire anchor so it wouldn't put any tension on the wires.

There is an obvious caveat on this piece. She is fragile. The incandescent globe will chew through batteries too. I showed this to my group of friends who meet down the dog park on Fridays for wine and snacks. It was the favourite of many. I'm looking forward to making more fantasy insects that won't really resemble any real species on our planet.

i feel bad for the bone necklace being used, yet again, in a malicious way to make up some story about yibo. like, any woman remotely getting close or related to him that has a necklace with a pendant that vaguely looks the same shape is his other half?

( photos used by antis of women who are supposedly wearing couple bone necklace when it’s clearly not. first of all, where are the diamonds??????? )

we have all grown attached to it but i’m not gonna be surprised if a certain someone is out there looking for a replacement like he did before. i’m getting sad just thinking about it. but i hope i’m wrong. and anyway if it gets replaced then it will just prove the pattern : ox, lion gucci, daisy star, bone and then whatever comes after — it’s all from the same person. 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻

The Stellarator

Here is another window into a star sitting in a nebula gas and dust cloud. The LED used in this is tiny and the wiring is so fine it can't be seen in the resin. I've also obscured it using some swirling pigment powder. The effect is the light just suspended in the space. This is the second star field "panel" in the series and I'm keen to make many more.

I would love to create some of the famous space images taken by the Hubble and amazing new images coming from the James Webb. I could back light it using the magnetic switch modules I'm currently using. So many ideas - not enough hours in the day. I could also feature our own solar system with tiny little planets the size of a grain of sand.

This piece also features a different "control panel" with a wonderful vintage pocketwatch "onion" crown. On each side are "levers" that are really used in glasses. It needed a few more features for balance so it has the vintage brass wheel on the bottom and a cut up geometric brass stamp on the top. It will have a basic wood display stand and chain so it can be worn as a pendant. If someone wants it to be worn on a lapel or waistcoat I could easily adapt it.

Like all my recent panel series, it has a battery module on the back with a tiny on/off switch. The battery is a CR2032 that is widely available and not terribly expensive (I'll throw in a spare)

Aro culture is not opening the comments of any video where two ppl who aren't in a romatic relationship (even family members) are showing affection to each other or are referring to each other as friends...bcs yk that those idiots will interpret it as "Ooh his look says that he wanted to be more than homies" or "Sweet home Alabama" or "I think the person wanted to wrote girlfriend in the title? Bcs uhh l don't think that siblings act like this"

LIKE WHAT'S WRONG WITH SHOWING AFFECTION OR BEING KIND TO SOMEONE-
