ReplyDeleteHmmm what's my favorite part??? Well lets start with the awesome piece of mica... But the idea-ology - how you used the wheels to hold up the eye chart, or how the gears and new piece (don't know the name) actually looks like steampunk glasses or the numbers running down the right hand side in the back. This is spectacular! So much metal goodness!

ReplyDeleteI loved this when I saw it in the Creativation videos, but my jaw is dropping over & over each time I discover the details within this project..Wow! Thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing more of your projects!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing better than seeing this here would have been to see it in person at Creativation. I love how your mind works; how you get these crazy ideas and somehow make them come to fruition. No one creates like you. I love every single grungy detail, especially the glass. But it's all the parts that make the whole that keep me coming back for more. I could stare at this all day! Thank you for your inspiration!

ReplyDeleteGrunge :0) Love it. Fun project.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful project! love all the metal and the fun 'cracked glass' along the top! Great design!
ReplyDeleteWHOA Vicki! I am loving this piece. The chunk of mica makes this piece actually look older and I love the way you used the date dial and gears with the clip to look like a real piece of optometry tool...so clever. I think this is among my top favorites and I really dislike picking favorites since everyone's work is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat for the eyes! Love all the elements you've played with. Wow!
ReplyDeletethat top part of cracked glass is such a great idea!

ReplyDeleteVery inspiring, TFS!
ReplyDeleteLove this piece Vicki and that addition of the mica took it over the top...so awesome!!!

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reviewing your ingredients list and then seeing how all the elements came together so wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteThere isn’t a single detail, in this project, that I don’t absolutely LOVE! I think that. I find something new to love, each time so look at it, too! I have to say, I ordered some mica sheets, after seeing what that touch added to your creation, too! This is BEYOND awesome!
