Glow Fly
Yay! It's the last one in this series. I don't mind posting but it does take a lot of time. Trying to make a description of the build interesting can be challenging too.
As those who have followed me for awhile know I'm a bit obsessed with making mechanical insects. They are not easy to make. The legs need holes in the main body, the head needs a hole, the abdomen needs another hole. That's a lot of holes in a tiny piece of brass. The engineering is always a challenge. It does make it a bit easier if it's like this, mounted on a panel. I will make another but just anchor each piece, legs, body, head, abdomen, to the board. If I space it correctly - it will look like a joined mechanism hopefully.
I didn't use a LED for this one. I wanted it to look old, so I chose to use an incandescent globe. As it's only 3V it's not that powerful. You can really see the difference between the power use of an LED compared to old "Edison" bulbs. The light isn't the feature here - the insect is. So I didn't overly embellish the piece for that reason too.
The wings are brass charms but they are thin and fragile so I don't think they would hold up under heavy wear unsupported. As a pendant you would only have to worry about clothing or hair snags. The body is a small brass tube. I inserted four smaller tubes and poured in some resin. I drilled those out so I could thread the four legs (made from heated element wire and crimps). The wire leads from the bulb are threaded through as is the head (a heart shaped vintage copper bead) and finally to two tiny front legs/feelers. The eyes are simply phillip's head screws. The wings are screwed onto an hexagonal ring. That is attached using two more screws tightened onto the body. As the wires are so fine, I had to secure the body with an extra wire anchor so it wouldn't put any tension on the wires.
There is an obvious caveat on this piece. She is fragile. The incandescent globe will chew through batteries too. I showed this to my group of friends who meet down the dog park on Fridays for wine and snacks. It was the favourite of many. I'm looking forward to making more fantasy insects that won't really resemble any real species on our planet.

i feel bad for the bone necklace being used, yet again, in a malicious way to make up some story about yibo. like, any woman remotely getting close or related to him that has a necklace with a pendant that vaguely looks the same shape is his other half?
Tumblr media
( photos used by antis of women who are supposedly wearing couple bone necklace when it’s clearly not. first of all, where are the diamonds??????? )
we have all grown attached to it but i’m not gonna be surprised if a certain someone is out there looking for a replacement like he did before. i’m getting sad just thinking about it. but i hope i’m wrong. and anyway if it gets replaced then it will just prove the pattern : ox, lion gucci, daisy star, bone and then whatever comes after — it’s all from the same person. 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻

The Stellarator
Here is another window into a star sitting in a nebula gas and dust cloud. The LED used in this is tiny and the wiring is so fine it can't be seen in the resin. I've also obscured it using some swirling pigment powder. The effect is the light just suspended in the space. This is the second star field "panel" in the series and I'm keen to make many more.
I would love to create some of the famous space images taken by the Hubble and amazing new images coming from the James Webb. I could back light it using the magnetic switch modules I'm currently using. So many ideas - not enough hours in the day. I could also feature our own solar system with tiny little planets the size of a grain of sand.
This piece also features a different "control panel" with a wonderful vintage pocketwatch "onion" crown. On each side are "levers" that are really used in glasses. It needed a few more features for balance so it has the vintage brass wheel on the bottom and a cut up geometric brass stamp on the top. It will have a basic wood display stand and chain so it can be worn as a pendant. If someone wants it to be worn on a lapel or waistcoat I could easily adapt it.
Like all my recent panel series, it has a battery module on the back with a tiny on/off switch. The battery is a CR2032 that is widely available and not terribly expensive (I'll throw in a spare)

once upon a time, we were all going 👀 over ZZ’s hidden necklace and the alleged ring tied to it. then after that — nothing. it went unsolved. now, people have noticed him wearing what seems to be a necklace, but the string of it looks more like a rope.
2020 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media
while i do understand the speculation of some that this may be his version of “bone necklace” and how it may be holding the ever so elusive bjyx promise ring lol — my personal deduction is that it’s not. yeah, it would be wonderful if it was and i don’t think we will ever know but to me there is a more rational explanation, knowing what type of “jewelry” XZ sports during his personal time. when he’s not wearing gucci or other really esspensive pieces at events, the regular person XZ prefers his jewelry to be more meaningful.
Tumblr media
( photo source showing times it was worn & visible )
Everyone knows his red rope, given to him by his mom for good luck when it was his zodiac birth year, and he’s always been wearing it. he said, “my mom gave it to me, i have to keep wearing it.” Then another more recent one is the beaded bracelet, which from what i can remember is also for protection. something that you can blessed at a temple.
A popular guess is what’s tied to it is a jade. So it’s a jade necklace. What’s the meaning? I found this helpful article to support this speculation. It just makes more sense and more “on brand” for ZZ to wear it because of this reason:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whether someone gave it to him or if he picked it up on one of his travels, we don’t know. but a “gentleman like jade” is so him. it’s the kind of person he tries to embody.
Anciently, superior men found the likeness of all excellent qualities in jade. Soft smooth and glossy, it appeared to them like benevolence.
Fine, compact, and strong—like intelligence.
Angular, but not sharp and cutting—like righteousness.
Hanging down (in beads) as if it would fall to the ground like (the humility of) propriety.
When struck, yielding a note, clear and prolonged, yet terminating abruptly—like music.
Its flaws not concealing its beauty, nor its beauty concealing its flaws—like loyalty.
With an internal radiance issuing from it on every side—like good faith.
Bright as a brilliant rainbow—like heaven.
Exquisite and mysterious, appearing in the hills and streams—like the earth.
Standing out conspicuous in the symbols of rank—like virtue.
Esteemed by all under the sky—like the path of truth and duty.
( Confucius ; Book of Rites )
The times we have seen him wear it, his clothes were too loose to make out if there was pendant shaped thing. However, the recent photo shoot appears to give us a better view.
For comparison, p1 is the composition. that rope like string and a jade pendant. his is surely not that big, but you get the point. p2, it may just be a crease of his clothes but it’s a good approximate of a “pendant”.
