Yesterday I got a picture from the recipient of my latest tabletop piece, confirming that it arrived in Australia unscathed!
Shipping is always a little (okay very) stressful. And the nail-biting is amplified when a piece is going half way around the world. To alleviate some of that stress, I really went overboard with the packaging. Direct quote from the client: “I think it would have survived a small IED the way you boxed it up.”
As you can see from the picture, he is now the proud owner of not one, but two of my clockwork sculptures. He’s an awesome client, and my work found a good home.
On the flip side, the room in my house that used to have multiple clocks on the wall now has zero clocks. I didn’t realize how much I used them until they were gone. It’s so much easier to glance up, rather than have to reach for my stupid phone to see the time.
Guess I need to get back in the shop!
