“Perhaps you are a clockwork girl. Perhaps Mortmain’s warlock father built you, and now Mortmain seeks the secret of how to create such a perfect facsimile of life when all he can build are hideous monstrosities. Perhaps all that beats beneath your chest is a heart made of metal.’
Tessa drew in a breath, feeling momentarily dizzy. His soft voice was so convincing, and yet–’No,’ she said sharply. ‘You forget, I remember my childhood. Mechanical creatures do not change or grow. Nor would that explain my ability.’
‘I know,’ said Will with a grin that flashed white in the darkness. ‘I only wanted to see if I could convince you.’
Tessa looked at him steadily. ‘I am not the one who has no heart.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
I am a collector of odd things. I turn vintage bits and pieces into wearable heirlooms. I hand paint resin cameos and use old settings, watch parts and other oddities turning them into one of a kind magical ,mythical double-sided pendants and bracelets. I do a line of Czech glass button jewelry in stainless. Many pieces UV reactive.. And last but not least an unusual collection of rocks, minerals, and crystals for everyone including some set-in sterling. . Also, many UV reactive!
