My Art. Looking for ideas on what to make next!

Hey Guys, i want your opinions on something.
I make art out of antique pocket watch parts.
I posted a few pics of some of my pieces. I would like to hear your opinions on them.
Which is the best one, what should be added, and most of all what you think i should make next.

But the ones below are of a Tiger, Horse, Fairy and Dragon.
So please give me some ideas of what i should work on next.

Thanks guys!

Beautiful work! I'd love to see you make a giraffe.

How about zodiac signs?

I saw that you said you sometimes sell them and I think it would be a nice way to go.

Also you have 12 different designs before you have to start again!

My Art. Looking for ideas on what to make next!

Call me an old fashioned traditionalist but a nekked lady with large breasts would be my suggestion.

Beautiful work btw!!!

Quite amazing.


How about a Bull...

Or a Double Headed Phoenix.

Very steam punkish. I have just got a few books from library on steam punk. I like very much. Great art works. . Well done you. You could try and sell through the steam punk websites. I have been inspired too and just picked up from my dad's farm a old slightly rusty sheep shearing comb from motor powered shearer. Keep creating it's so good for your soul.

A Phoenix.... I actually have some new parts that would help with that.

Im gonna take note of that idea. Zodiac signs is also a bang on idea. And your right, thats 12 i could bang off.

A giraffe is a good animal to try out.
As for the nekkid lady, i actually tried that lol. But every attempt i tried i always scrapped. I can never get the faces right. Its really hard finding exact duplicate parts from antique pieces.

Ps I really like the last one. Not sure what animal it is maybe a leopard or...? Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

a reply to: Macenroe82

Great job! The tiger is my favourite but I also like the detail of the fairy, especially the butterflies. Very nice!

How about making a flower?

I got that yesterday. But its from a genex watch.msometime between 1920-1937
Genex is amwatch that rolex made. So im kinda really torn between taking it apart. I posted yesterday asking if anyone had any info on the value. A few different sources said anywere from $300-800

I sent a few pics of it to thr rolex company asking for info on it. No word yet

But with those parts, i can see a wing, and a bird head.mehich would work towards a pheonix

a reply to: Cloudbuster

Thats what my inspiration behind them are. I have done a lot of steampunk art.
Here is a treasure chest...thing i guess lol. I made with clock parts and some other do-dads

Thank you every one who commented with the kind words.
And thanks for all the ideas as well.
Im going to start working on the pheonix first i think.
I am going to wait to hear back from Rolex though. If they say its only worth a hundred or so, then i will gut it and use the parts.

Your work is just amazing!!!!!! Wow!!!! I too would love to see a dragon!

a reply to: Night Star

The last pic in my OP has a dragon at the very bottom. It is in front of the large yellow gear and the 3 different colour jewels on the bottom.
A few people asked me what that one was. Im thinking it might be to cluttered with details to tell what it is.
But its a side profile of a dragon.
Maybe i should dismantle that one and recreate it.

Very cool stuff! Star for you... If you don't mind me asking: what is your medium for securing it together? Is it all screw / pin fastened or is it glued/etc?

a reply to: SilentE

Thanks! That fairy actually took me the longest to make. I had it in concept phase for weeks before i put anything together.
I am going to take it from the pocket watch case its currently in and remount it in a nicer one.

a reply to: japhrimu

Thanks a lot!
I try to use the watch screws where possible. But everything gets a liquid weld as well, very similar to an epoxy.
I literally have a set of tweezers in both hands while im making them. I also have another contraption i built that i call my third hand lol. Its a set of reverse clamping tweezers mounted on a cast iron base for stability.
I also use wearable magnifying glasses that help with the details

How about an antique car? Maybe a Model T or roadster.
