Another St Maarten Map. One of my best sellers.
White gold background and fused yellow gold on the edges.
The top side is the french side of the “permanent lunch time”
and the bottom side is the place of the ” jacuzzi sized pot holes”.
Ha Ha , I no joke, mon….

A bi-metal men’s wedding band. of all the men’s jewellery I make and sell, this has also got to be my best design.
And you know, it does look good on a guy.

There’s this SA hottie that comes into my shop with tears in her pretty blue eyes.
One of the local sweat shops had engraved the compass that she wanted to give to her boyfriend like this.
A complete frack up. The guy forgot the ‘I’ so he put it in afterwards.

I don’t engrave, so she decided to have her message done like this.
Silver relief letters on a crishy back ground.

The Dino War Machine has had a lot more work added to it.
.jpg)
The head has had extensive work done on it.
And two secondary Gatling guns have been added.
.jpg)
These Gatling guns are able to fire multiple war ordinances.
From nerve gas bullets to expanding flettchet rounds, each is capable of firing up to 600 rounds per second.
This tends to reduce the enemy to a fine mist.
And in that form they become less dangerous.
.jpg)
The side and rear firing abilities have been enhanced by modification to the phosphor bronze projector at the tip of the tail.
.jpg)
The outer tips are based on the Trioxinol Five theory, which dictates that all plans for war change when war commences.
Thus each tip is able to pierce the fog of war, and in the heat of battle, collectively they are able to guide the Dino War Machine to wreak the maximum of damage with the minimum of energy expended.
.jpg)
The head has been fitted with a mamba venom gun on each side.
These are able to fire a stream of armour piercing venom at hardened enemy targets.
This venom can be changed from, as the name suggests, mamba venom to hydrofluoric acid during firing operations.
The obsidian eyes are still being constructed.
They will be optical receptors that work from the infra red to the gigahertz wavelengths.
.jpg)
A rear view showing the gas emitter tubing.
This is able to emit a cloud of toxic gas over the enemy.
It must be understood the the Geneva Convention does not apply to this machine.
The object of this machine is to kill the enemy, finish and klaar.
.jpg)
With a giant sigh of relief, the remaining enemy watch the machine walk away, searching for new foe to vanquish.

I just think the Dino is over the top- and deserves the same in a maketing layout for that piece… Do an artist collaboration and go all out! Are the gears cast in brass and copper? What are you using for your masters- surely you arent carving each gear? I will be watching the evolution intently… looks great!
Judy,
I hear you. But this is just a light hearted project.
It is only eight inches tall so I am afraid it is not changing the middle east conflict in the near future.
What more can I say…..
Kerri,
What a great idea.
I love the ” battle-scarred and in several different fonts” bit.
I would just love to get involved in a project like that.
You got some seriously original imagination, dude.
-You should REALLY seek an aspiring college student (or yourself) to write a book as you already have the plot line through your postings! Better yet- write a “War journal” from the perspective of the vanquished foes in the trodden wasteland this chaotic enigma produces… get it bound and charred to look battle-scarred and in several different fonts(it has been handed down from seargent to seargent as they fall- someone else picks the story up… and chronicles the attempts to subdue the fury… maybe somewhere in the pages of that codex of death lie an answer to the weak link, the potential Achilles’ heel for the behemoth….)
-This way- you would not only have the machine- but the field reports of those who were crushed in its self-aligned holy-war to victory…
*Just a thought- it would make a KILLER selling tool as well should it turn out to become a series of pieces… Steampunk- PAX Romana- Sic Semper Tyranus! (“For the peace of Rome-as like unto tyrants!”)
-Love the thought and storyline it evokes- great design as well- I like the articulations!

Hans, I love your work, but regarding the Dino War Machine, I had rather hoped that its symbolism was the intent that all such weapons of destruction, mayhem, and murder would soon go the way of the dinosaur — extinct. I know too many people, especially in the Middle East, who have lost family, friends, their livelihood, and more through the brutality and injustice of war (much of it encouraged by the country of which I am a citizen, the United States) to celebrate the destructive capabilities of weaponry.
Of course, I can’t (and don’t want to) tell you what you can and can’t design. My remarks are just another response to your artistry.
Peace,
Judy Bjorkman
What FUN! Not only does the man make gorgeous jewellery, he makes absolutely wicked works for fun! How tall is Dino?
Dino’s head is really getting some personality now. I am looking forward to seeing the onyx eyes!
Best to you,
M’lou
