Description
Creature is inspired by fiddler crabs, spiders, scorpions, grasshoppers, monkeys, bulldogs, and more.I find it fun to do something straight from the mind rather than working from real images.
Made from many, many watch pieces, including gears, watch plates, spring barrels, watch winding stems, watch jewels, and clips. The lightbulb is a Christmas light. His spine is a watch band.
55mm front to back, 36mm wide, 25mm tall.

That's so cool! It makes me think of a tiny automaton that someone might create to sneak in and record private conversations.

Nice piece, the delicacy and fluidity of form is very pleasing.

True...how did you make this?

Tweezers, solder, soldering iron, heat resistant putty, steady hands, somewhat good eyes.

That is really good! I am scared of spiders, and I find this slightly creepy, so the spider element of it is very realistic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually do...they just sell out rather quickly. Not sure yet if I'm going to sell this one yet. He's that special!

I totally thought that said 'hand for sale' and was like 'whut... who'd buy... The internet man...'
Cool robo bug thing though! <3

...which is why I switched to saying "hand for size". Too many offers.

This thing is what I saw(kinda) in my head while reading the book "The Box". Only with more flesh and less machine.

Unfortunately no. I've been trying to imbue life, but my soldering iron only melts things.

Did you weld it together or use tiny screws?
π: 0 β©: 1
It is all soldered together with lead free silver bearing solder. It's like a weld for small stuff.
