Steampunk Jewelry : Tie Tack

Steampunk taxidermy reptile eye tie tack pin : I started to make tie tacks recently after i receive a special custom order . Since then i made a few more . Each tie tack are unique . I can create a similar one but they will never be exactly the same . Most of them are already sold . I can only produce very limited numbers of these . If you have a custom request for a Tie Tack you can reach me on ETSY here : Steampunk Jewelry by Daniel Proulx

When i started to make jewelry , i knew that it was a starting point for something bigger .
So recently i pushed the limit of wire wrapping by making sculpture that would have as much details as my jewelry but on a much larger scale . Here I'm introducing the first few pieces . I plan to widen the collection with uncommon species of insect and deep sea creatures .

Octopus


Rhinoceros Beetle


Cicada


Prayer Mantis on ETSY


Spider

Was displayed at the Museum of the History of Science Oxford UK

Beholder Robot





In my search for more unusual species , i recently discovered Ernst Haeckel. I really like the way he presented his drawings "Artforms of Nature" . Inspired by his work i decided to present my sculpture in a similar fashion . Work in progress .
