Bomblet Jewelry






I've finally finished my pendants made from Lazy Dog bombs. These are original bombs from the Vietnam war that have been stripped, cleaned, and striped with gold leaf. I drilled holes in the fins for the chain to pass through, which adds to the overall grungy look-and-feel. Each pendant comes in a Stockpile-branded envelope, mounted to a card with information about the piece. Check one out in my Etsy Store!

The Beacon Lamp

I've added a new piece to my Etsy store. It's called the Beacon Lamp, and I made it from a cluster bomblet (dummy, of course) dating to the Vietnam War. I used the spring-loaded fins as the base, and fitted it with an 11 7/8" incandescent bulb and a dimmer switch. Eventually I'll produce shades for this guy, but I honestly think it looks its best with the raw bulb.
