The Withered Alchemist

Now, here is my newest piece. Made from some old snake bones, porcelain insulators, and a paper clip...It's the face. Found in a old bookstore, attached to a book and covered with dust; this guy needed to have a life. I have held on to him for quite sometime before I figured out who he was, or who I though he should be. Like Frankenstein hunting down all his body parts to create man, I finally gave him life. So here he is.

Body Parts: Paper Clip, The Brain: Bubinga wood(upholstered), porcelain insulators, snake vertebrae, brass fishing swivel, spur chain, bronze artifacts, glass heishi beads, Roman glass foil bead, old keys, waxed linen thread,and tuxedo buttons.
