Jeweled Miniature Celestial Instruments

Some new Jeweled Miniature Celestial Instruments. I did not age down the brass as much I usually do..So these seem to be more shiny and jeweled than my usual celestial instruments.
They are available on page here:

Most the instruments shown with Todd Krueger's 1/12 scale wizard. To show size..

And just to show Todd's wonderful wizard.. Heheh..

 Wizard Sun, Moon, and Star Lens. A very pretty purple blue glass cab in the center.

 

 

 

 Lots of gears and parts under a thick lens.

 Crystal Ball Orrery.. I got this idea from the recent "Red Ridding Hood" Movie..

Although I really did not like the movie.. I loved the orrery in the movie.

Relics and Curiosities Published in the UK

Just got a copy of Dolls House and Miniature Scene October issue. Contains some really great photos of my Relics, Reliquaries, and Curiosities.. So strange to see them published.. I thought they were going to be to weird to sell.. But they are quite popular.. I love the English magazines because they are larger and always are very generous with there photo space.. I MUST say a big thank you to Deb Weissler for writing such a great article. She also did a little write up about me in the August issue of Dolls House World in her "tick...tock" article..

I have to show the cover (above) because it has my name in print. That is a BIG deal:-) hehe..

 

 They did a close-up of the saints hand in a relic.. (above) Can you believe there are actually Relics like that?

(below) my curiosity cabinet. Need to make more of them.
