This is a shop of industrial oddities and rare findings. Rusty treasures of the mind's eye, original creations, homemade verdigris, torched gingerbread patinas........
Please take a look around and don't hesitate to ask any questions!
Our little shop is more a state of mind, a puzzle of nostalgic vibes, bringing us back to a time and place where pieces were made with pride, took time and were well made. A time when people actually wrote emotional letters to each other. Sometimes it feels like society moves so exponentially fast and faster towards the newest, latest, best, most expensive trends/objects/endeavors/obsessions/addictions that she becomes blind to her own beauty that is present everywhere.
These nuts and bolts, society's guts, industrial oddities, are the very treasures we search for. They appear all around us, sometimes we just need to look through a different lense, a new realty, an altered paradigm, an antique:)
Items discarded as junk because they are weathered and withered are sometimes the true works of art we seek and use in our own creations.
Gothic, unusual, bizarre, scarce architectural findings, a balance of whimsy and gothic industrial strength.
The old stormy patinas and wear that form on the metal through rust, weather, time, old wear and tear work well with restoration and assemblage/altered art/steampunk creations
Even though these treasures have already surfaced, they still contain buried treasures deep within. It's just a matter of searching and finding that which is perfect for you.
"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."
~Aristotle
"The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation."
~ Auguste Rodin
"We are all on a journey, attached by the same thread of creativity and life." - Me
"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work."
~ Emile Zola
