I have been spending so much time making that I have less time for blogging. So to catch up, I have made some clockwork wasps and one fat bee. I have also applied Mr Steadmans beautiful art to the gear wheels and painted the plinth and funnel supports.I have also, with Mr Steadmans permission, done a little splattering and writing on the machine.
So it is very nearly finished. I will take a video once it is instaled in the gallery.

This is where it all started.
