Bugle Boy Robot – Assemblage Art

Gunther is made of a Bugler Tobacco tin, vintage shoe tree parts for legs and wooden feet from different shoe trees. His head is vintage aluminum coffee pot, a little crumpled around the top, but his hat hides it nicely. Maybe a war wound, I bet! His hat is an aluminum plate with a toy aluminum bot/collander. He has brass keys for eyes. The horn is securely attached, it actually screws onto a piece of endless thread inside his head.

He stands 17 inches to the top of his hat and is about 6 inches wide. It’s about 12 inches from the tip of his horn to the handle on the back of his head.

Shimmer & Shine with Mercury Glass Decor for Your Happy New Year Party

Updated for 2018

Mercury glass, although named for the silver liquid, was never made from mercury when used for tableware and home decor. Originally mercury did form the backing on mirrors, but since it is poisonous was never used for any items regularly handled in a household. Because of the artistic nature of mercury glass, it was considered one the first types of art glass, glass made for decorative purposes instead of only practical.

Because mercury glass has a metallic effect and a classic, yet antique look, it makes the perfect ornamentation for New Year’s Eve parties and events.
