Work by My Secret Music Box
Miniature Music Box Pendants
Artist Statement:
MSM is the one-woman dream of Ola Fumilayo, based in Toronto, Ontario and had its beginnings in 2009 as Clockwork Fantastica. It was founded on a cheerful love of music boxes, nostalgia and all things strange, beautiful, and unusual.
Each pendant and pin is a work of art reminiscent of another time and place. Most of the pieces are one of a kind or exclusive editions because they are each handmade with vintage components in limited supply. Each finished work is carefully sealed and meant to last.
The music box contained within each finished piece is an 18-note modern Japanese mechanism. The delicate and distinctive clockwork sound of the music box is the result of carefully placed steel pins hitting the fine tuned steel comb, operated by the brass winding key on the exterior.
