The Obsession Continues!- Typewriters.

Here are two manual typewriters I found at a flea market this weekend!

 This is an Olivetti Lettera 25 form the 1970’s-ish

 And this lovely sea foam colored machine is a Smith-Corona Corsair Deluxe form the 1960’s-ish!

Adjustable Heart Rings With Matching Earrings

Unexpected Result

Here is an art project that has gone awry! The reason? I used a different kind of resin this time. This heart was supposed to be on a platter for a wall hanging like an earlier project I posted. However, the resin I used shrank when it dried and did not adhere to the platter. Luckily it looks good in front of this window with the sunlight shinning through.

A Good Day For Typewriters!

This Olympia Traveller de Luxe is quite a nice machine! I got her today along with a Royal at a Goodwill. She works very well and has her case intact. I have found various contradictory information about her production date, but I think she might be from the 70s.

 Here is yet another typewriter I have collected. This is a Royal Royalite portable typewriter. She smells heavily of barn, yet looks quite clean. She is also missing her cover and one of the zippers on her carrying case is broken. She works very well except the space bar requires a heavy touch to move. She seems to be from the 1960s.

Ira on a Dirigible

This is my leopard gecko Ira modeling one of the clay dirigibles I made.

Typewriter!

I am now the proud owner of another working typewriter found at Goodwill! This one is electric and hums in a most pleasant way!

Finished Necklace

Here is my first completed necklace. The heart pendant hangs from a sterling silver chain that is braided with metallic thread for style and strength. The clasp and jump rings are also sterling silver. Silver colored clay used to accent the back of the necklace.
