The opening times will be the same as, the ever popular, Victorian Fair that takes place every December in Friar Street. Starts this Thursday 2nd and goes onto Sunday 5th; Go along for a warm welcome, as well as some choice, and original Christams shopping. Organiser, Jo and the others will have deserved their cups of tea by the end of it, I can tell you!

And one for the cat...

Bought these little beauties from the RSPCA. Masked off and sandblasted the one to reveal flowery monsters. Not all together successful, interesting, but I'm not finished with aggrandizing found objects just yet

Spotted on the streets of the West Midlands

Stickers seen in Birmingham, Stourbridge and Dudley. There's a street presence developing, maybe it'll take over the world:-S

Finally, my friend Phils Rucksack, decorated with a reflective robot sticker. Be safe, be seen!

Baby, it's cold outside!!

Maybe this cute vintage penguin will make you feel warmer on this chilly Thursday. It's another charity shop find, sandblasted with my logo and robot moniker. Bless.

Deco Mirror

Here's another mirror. A recycled charity shop purchase. It has a beautiful cast detail on the top. I decided to go with the flying houses as it seemed to well with the polished finnial. The mirror was very fragile and is starting to come away at the edges, I managed not to lose anymore of the reflective side when sand-blasting, but it was touch and go as to whether it would survive the process or not:-S

Mirror Detail

I've Got Wood

3 feet high and rising. A piece of reclaimed architectural pine. Burnt sand-blasted and waxed. Given back to the guy who gave me the wood in the first place. If you have wood you'd like to give me, I can add my personal touch to it and return it...(for a small fee of course.)

Reclaimed Pine Totem? 3ft approx high.

The 'C' Word

As well as the mirrors and larger glass objects, I'm working on a range of more affordable vessels. Here's another piece of sand-blasted lab glass. I've combined the robot/house imagery to create a new design that suggests themes of claustrophobia and wanting to escape...very Christmassy!-)
