Now I know this post is almost 2 years old but since you and John seem to always be changing/improving things in your home I had a suggestion for your gum ball machine. Instead of the "lotto ball" numbers or even the alphabet, what about using old gears, nuts and bolts? Not sure if the gears would fit because of the opening but the nuts and bolts might be fun since it is steam punky. Anyway, keep up the great blog, I love it and am inspired everyday!Michelle Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741332705506532639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-40669637171072172362012-04-15T13:05:37.412-04:002012-04-15T13:05:37.412-04:00Long time reader, first time posting a comment, lo...Long time reader, first time posting a comment, lol.

They aren't cheap, but they areny $6k either. ;) Check them out! I have one in my dinning room.

I've been a daily reader of CW for years, and now of Epbot....thanks for all the laughs (and groans =)).<br /><br />Now you've gotten me hooked on Steampunk! Yes, another convert. Here's my question....we just re-decorated my living room, and as of yet, we have nothing on the walls. I'm looking for some interesting wall art we can make fairly simply and relatively inexpensively. Specifically some ideas for a large clock (at least 30" across) and a couple fun sculptural designs for the other walls.<br /><br />Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! =)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515638052743559635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-77111325918119273812010-09-14T12:24:52.800-04:002010-09-14T12:24:52.800-04:00Maybe this link will work, it's to the halo ch...Maybe this link will work, it's to the halo chandelier.

Even the pop of green is wonderful. <br /><br />I saw your comment about the chandelier and I don't know if it's too long to fit, but I saw an idea recently which was a vintner's bottle dryer. Which is a tall metal structure with bits sticking out of it, and the bottles are washed and slotted onto the spokes to dry. I saw a picture of this in a recycling book and a wine bar had wired one up, put some bulbs down the centre and it looked amazing. A giant, bottle chandelier, in effect. I just thought I'd mention it, in case that was some inspiration. An old metal bicycle wheel with large cogs shielding the bulbs maybe?
