Justin Gershenson-Gates is a Chicago-based jeweller who designs these wonderful insect sculptures made from watch parts and light bulbs. Gershenson-Gates also creates wonderful works of jewelry from old watch parts, but this post is all about the intricate creepy-crawllies that are sold through his Etsy shop, A Mechanical Mind. The Mechanical Spider, for example, requires an incredible amount of manual labour, including thirty four soldered joints in the spider’s legs alone. The artists does not use any glue or resin to fasten pieces, everything is soldered into place and impossible to reproduce perfectly.
