My nephew James posted a photo of a rusty car he was selling on Facebook. I was inspired to refurbish it into a steampunk beast of a car. Since the pandemic has confined us to stay at home I have embraced all sorts of handwork, reveling in the solitude of quiet meditative work. I broke out the clock gears, zippers, lace and buttons, inspired by the music of Ravi Shankar, paisley fabric appeared and just plain fun ensued.
