My dear friend Tiffany Nelson is a hard-working 3D artist for many popular games (Guitar Hero, anyone). But the eye candy doesn’t stop there. She has a freshly launched online jewelry shop, The Whimsical Design, filled with elegant concepts. Clear glass pendants with secret messages suspended in resin — check. Antique clock gears and keys for that Steampunk glam — check. Vintage silver findings — check. Delicate Czech crystal beads — check. Unpolished quartz crystals strung to look like dazzling pieces of ice — well, you get the idea.
Tiffany is a super sweet gal and also creates wonderful custom pieces. I have sent her crudely drawn sketches, and she has turned them into beautiful pieces that fetch many compliments. Also, if you mention that it’s a gift, she will wrap it up all pretty and include a card. ~__^
French performance art group, La Machine, built a pair of steampunk, robotic spiders for the upcoming Expo Y150. They stand at an impressive 40 feet tall and weigh 37 tons. The mechanical spiders will be on display at Expo Y150 from April 28 to September 27.
