Ticker Tape Machine
I tried to use things that I already had at home to make this assemblage. The 1970s glass dome came from a thrift shop and it once held dried flowers and a fake butterfly. The rubber stamp and tape dispenser are vintage office supplies from my collection. I did use something new which was the Wall Street Journal. I lifted the stocks off the page with clear tape and applied it to the old tape to create the ticker tape.

Taking Junk For A Walk
Stuff I picked up on walking to town and back. The road sweeper goes round on a regular basis so the streets are relatively clean so pickings were slim. Had enough to fill this child's wooden necklace maker set I found in a charity shop. Not sure which I prefer, the minimal arrangement without the necklace beads or with all the beads and letters added so uploading both.

The Knee Bone's Connected to the Thigh Bone
For this assemblage I used bits and pieces I already had. An old wooden box, celluloid doll arms, puzzle blocks to which I glued vintage anatomical images, flash attachment from a twin lens reflex camera, a marsupial skull and a bird bone found on a hiking trip to Tasmania. I used two different types of glue (strong craft glue and superglue) - the blocks are not attached and can be moved around and rotated. The "head" can also be rotated at the base of the flash attachment (for batteries) which has a thread.
