Artist's Comments

So, I found this old slightly broken locket in a bunch of junk jewelry somebody gave me at some point (sorry i'm so unspecific, I really don't remember where it came from; it could've been from any of a number of relatives) and knew I had to do something with it.
This is the result so far--it seemed so indicative of myself, iconic even, that I couldn't call it anything other than a self portrait. Still a WIP, as the front of the locket which once bore a cameo (or something along those lines) is still bare and needs something. Don't know what yet.

Notes: The critter (on the left) is drawn on ordinary white printer paper. It looks all sepia-y because of the old glass of the locket that it's behind. Neat, huh?
The gears look the same as the ones in the broach I made a few days ago because they're the other halves of the same gears. Waste not want not.

I would love to make that a pocket watch and pretend I was checking the time. Very cool.
