Tinker was created for a Petfinder.com commercial that was aired on TV’s GSN channel in 2015 during season of Steampunk’d. Tinker is made out of an old lantern filled with clocks, vacuum tubes & LEDs. He has antique iron stove legs. His head is a snow globe filled with clockwork and LEDs. His ears are antique drawer handles. His face is a silver antique candle holder in the shape of a lotus flower. His snout is an antique bell cut in half. His mouth and tongue are parts of an old rusted wood scraper. I used binoculars parts wrapped in leather for eyes and lit them with LEDs. The nose is a clock gear & coil. He is now the property of Nestle. Photos by Emily Hampton Photography.
