Schematics for Dr. Listrom's Auto-Trephine: For aiding in performing self-trepanation (perforating the cranium to expose the dura mater to treat a myriad of health problems). Drawn with Rotring Art pens with Platinum carbon ink on an 11x14" Strathmore Bristol Board #PenAndInk #Drawing #FountainPen

Day 2 of our Pennsylvania adventures recap: Found some great items at a flea market, met up with a fella who cleaned out an old funeral home, found an incredible Victorian men's swivel ring. Exhausted, but all in all a great day! #skystorian #antiquing #antiques #antiqueshoplife

We are on the road again this weekend! Hunting for more treasures for the upcoming @odditiesandcuriositiesexpo in Baltimore, Richmond and Philly! Day one was a success, hoping day two also treats us well 🤞#skystorian #antiquing

Lover's Eyes are Georgian miniature paintings of a loved one's eye, often worn as brooches, pendants or rings with jeweled frames. I'm still playing with a weathered engraving style and enjoying the process! (The eye model is my lovely wife, Olivia, half of @theveiledmirror.bsky.social) #PenAndInk

Milk teeth… what are they? And why is there a tooth set in this gold ring? 🦷 💍 This incredible ring will be debuted at our market …But Not Forgotten this Sunday, March 30, from 11:00-4:00 at the Studio on Broad (302 Goshen St Richmond, VA) right behind Cobra Cabana. #rva #skystorian #milktooth
