Having done two fabric figures and two wooden figures, I decided it's time to try metal! Actually, Tik-Tok has fallen together more easily than I expected although I'll admit to cheating - he's brass, not copper. But with a little patina work, he's pretty convincing...He's mostly made from a variety of lamp parts, along with some additional material. He has his winding key, and three winding spots - one under each arm and the middle of the back. Unfortunately, he doesn't actually wind up... Oh well - we'll have to call in Smith and Tinker for that!
Great job, especially on the face!
ReplyDeleteStunning. I want one.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the most remarkable things I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThanks! - It'll be interesting when I get to the Tin Woodman, I think he may be a little slower to come together!
