It stands at about seven feet in height. It is fun to walk around/under it and pretend I’m Godzilla smashing tourists in the streets. Even though the bulbs are pictured in red, the display will most likely have green bulbs — red just photographs so well.

This is the first photo. I still have to add the halo; and I just ordered 50 toggle bolts for the gills [think of a mushroom cap]. See the finished product in the end of August and through September at Childhood’s End Gallery.

coatrack tesla_coil -- it's ELECTRIC!!!

coatrack tesla_coil -- it's ELECTRIC!!!

My newest invention: a Tesla Coil Coatrack.

Refabricated super shiny metal, including:
· vintage hubcap
· high-voltage porcelain insulator
· metal pole with hidden wood broomstick [for stability of course]
· vase and door handles
· vintage coffee urn with bathroom fixtures hardware
· AND a slinky!

It’s positively ELECTRIC!

Oh, and did I mention the top [of course] and the middle feature rotate?

E-mail me for alternative views of looking up and looking down the beast!

Currently available at www.matteroly.com
along with the Nomad Coatrack

I told them to bring me the bottle — I would have preferred it full…

The brass parts were salvaged from the junk I got in Kent and compliment the blue Skyy Vodka glass nicely.
