I remembered an article on a steampunk exhibit by Irene Gallo on amazing artist Eric Freitas who makes these to-die-for organic-looking brass clocks. Completely by hand.
You must go look at his gallery and see samples and close-ups of his pieces, which are mind-blowing.
Since I will never ever be able to afford one of his actual clocks, I consoled myself with a purchase of this set of cards - with photos of views of his mechanical clock #6 clock on the fronts and drawings on the backs, along with a card describing his painstaking, highly detailed creative process. It really is too gorgeous to be believed.Ah, all in the name of research. :-)

His work is gorgeous!
I love these! Thanks for posting Tara, I must have missed this one on the Art Dpt.
I clicked on the link to his stuff - wow! I would become a clock watcher with such a beautiful clock :)
I love things like this. And steam punk makes me smile; sort of reminds me of the things we played with when we were kids. Glad you're getting better. Always best not to rush the recuperation.
I like some steampunk stuff. Toby has been collecting old watch parts etc for a while now to make some steampunk style jewellery sometime.
Get well again soon Tara.

Glad to here the recovery is coming along though I'm sure not as fast as you would like it! The stampunk clock is fabulous as is the little sketch. Thanks for sharing that. Take care of yourself and don't hurry things.
Boredom is a good sign of recovery. These clocks are mind-boggling. I can't wait to see your sketches for OZ.
Very cool stuff!
