Steampunk Or Robot Art ? Make Insect With Metal

 
Tom Hardwidge, a digital designer by profession in UK, has a hobby of making steampunk insects by using pieces of clockwork and inactive ammunitions. His creativity is stunning where you see the wasted metal pieces turned into beautifully crafted insects. The detail with which each insect is made from the recycled material is worth applauding.

Hardwidge says, “Although the cogs and gears are recycled from old, broken pocket watches and the bullets are deactivated rounds, a lot of my other materials aren’t recycled. There’s no reason why I can’t source more recycled metals in the future and I intend to do so.”
This kind of art maybe become more awesome if be combined with nano robotics technology art. I think it will be so fun if they can move and fly!! :D
