Mokume Gane and Sterling Silver Bat Necklace

For sale on ebay, Martin Siebach writes:

Hand-forged in my own furnace, this mokume gane bat is made from 29 layers of red brass and copper. I hand-forged the chain from sterling silver. Set with glowing garnet eyes, it is a striking piece. It measures approx. 18" in total length. The bat itself is approx. 3 5/8" wide by 2 5/8" in height. All of my pieces bear my maker's mark.

This is a one-of-a-kind necklace. Each piece of mokume gane that I create is absolutely unique. The serendipity of the hand-forging, coupled with the behavior of the each metal on any given day when being forged, patterned and patinated, make it impossible to create the same piece twice.

Merkin Bag

Genius!

MERKIN Bag Inspired by the Hermes Birkin Bag. "No vaginas were harmed in the making of this bag."

And here's a "Bountiful Merkin Bag" by Gregory Jacobsen. Warning: it's pretty ghastly and NSFW (but it is beautifully painted).

Fermented Feline Micturition on Physalis peruviana

Or "Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush", a Sauvignon Blanc "youthful and kittenish and full of zing and zip. Extremely playful, with aromas inclined to leap out of the glass at you and a long and racy body, this wine is equally happy relaxing on its own or engaging in boisterous antics with fresh seafood."

It's also not bad sipped under an apple tree while bitching about The Art Scene with a friend.

Steampunk Swapmeet

This certainly looks like fun; a steampunk swapmeet in Seattle. And just in time for Steamcon!

I had been planning on going to San Francisco (home of wonderful steamcoats like this one) for Halloween but now I don't know. I could put on a steammask and hop a flight south (purchased on a steamlaptop), drinking Steam Whistle pilsner and eating steamed clams. Somehow though I'm sure that seeing all those young beauties in their steamfashion would just mess with my self esteem.

Human Child Glass Eyes for sale

On ebay. Along with a big box lot  of adult glass eyes, too.

The Wonderful Coat

A thing of beauty I saw in San Francisco on Halloween. Fortunately it didn't come in "girls who eat carbs" sizes, because I would have had to bring one home, and the coat closet has reached maximum overload already.

Big thanks to 14, who served as my glass reflection blocker
