Analogue is much more pleasing to the soul than all this digital crap.
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

Yet another analog old-school approach. Take an old sewing machine, all sorts of bolts and nuts, iron struts – not to mention the skilful hands of someone who’s also an excellent welder. Nice bike and a stylish frame for an analog clock. Of course, they are unique works of art that need to be protected.

For readers who wish to develop their welding skills further in order to give everyday objects a new artistic twist, you can find sewing machines here.

We went to this exhibition at the beginning of October. Fantastic pieces that must have taken months/years to put together. What a wonderful hobby. The kiddies were mesmerised with the working items as were we !
