Further to yesterday's post, I now have the professional photographs of the codpiece, taken by Simon Murphy:
Simon just "got" the whole thing and I think that his shots are fantastic. As you can see, it really needs to be worn to make sense of it, but he took the shot on the skull to show off the texture of the corroded steel knives.
I've been having a calmer day in the workshop now that the codpiece is finished, working on some "stock" earring trios which I may submit to the call for entries for the Heidi Lowe Gallery, "Earrings Galore".
