Spiralfly
Completed February 27, 2015
This is a one of a kind, handmade clockwork imaginary dragonfly style sculpture made from the recycled parts of old watches.
His wings are made from antique brass watch faces that have been cut and sanded into wing shapes, along with a balance wheel and gear for both structure and embellishment. Watch winding stems underneath the wings act as perceived mechanical actuators.
His legs were created with many different watch winding stems that have been cut into various sizes and soldered at the leg joints using silver bearing solder.
His body is a couple of watch plates and three balance wheels soldered to a strap string at the thorax. His abdomen is a cut brass watch face made into a spiral around a watch band spring.
His head is a cut watch winding spring to which is soldered two identical winding stem knobs for eyes. His "tongue" is another watch winding spring.
He alights on a model railroad track base that has been curved and soldered and that acts as a stand.
There is no glue or resin to be found in the piece...everything is soldered into place with metal. This is a one of a kind work of art, never to be exactly reproduced.
His dimension are 67mm wide, 52mm front to back, 73mm tall. He comes with a 3" by 4" glass dome with walnut base for display. He is extremely fragile and should be handled sparingly and very gently, and is most definitely not a toy.
