Knowledge is power

Knowledge is power, seek and hold knowledge to build your future.
There's a bit of an Eddison lighthouse thing going on here! I like the idea of knowledge being power and gave it that quirk of the electrical elements in the piece.  The eye is to seek the knowledge, and it is surrounded by squiggles that are question marks and exclamation marks.
It was very difficult for me to give this away because I am rather chuffed with how it evolved.


So how was it cobbled together? A miniature Baileys bottle, champagne cork wire caging, car headlamp bulb, and other bits and bobs have been  cobbled together to create this eeerrrrmmm bit of faffed up tat!
Bottle was wrapped with strips of dry baby wipes glued on, Ferro metal effect paint, layer of heated fabric ribbon stuff round the base, clay moulded hands, an old clock hand and old mirror piece, an old charm and a new toy eye. Now you know, you can have a bash at one!
