Stay and enjoy the Hand Made Watches, Jewelry and Shadow Sculpture of
Frank Poye
Someone
once described Me as a creative manifestor,
I like that, it sounds good. Many projects are always in the
works.
Watchmaking to date has been
the most rewarding. Naturally a finished product is important but
the process involved is a real kick too !.

I'm lucky... what I enjoy doing I get to
also do for a living. I teach the craft of Watchmaking
at The Texas Institute of Jewelry Technology
at Paris Junior College
in Paris, Texas.

I also have 2 home workshops to play around in.
The top floor was built as a sleeping room in 1917 and faces South with windows on 3 sides.
The light is great.
Some of the other projects in the works involve Jewelry and Metal Sculptures.
Both are unconventional...and yet, they work so well together.

Wings Necklace
Shown on a life size copper mesh body cast. This form
truly comes to life when spot lighted as it casts
what appear to be 3 dimentional shadows.
Hypnotic and Mesmerizing.......

As for the rest of
the time..........
I like to Run, I always have. As a kid
it was not anything that made Me
stand out. I am faster now then
when I lettered in track in
High School. Thats kind
of different isn't it ?
The nice part about it is that now there is nothing
to prove. Oh yea sure...Its cool to trophy when I
run a road race but that is not the big picture.
I simply enjoy the day to day life as a runner.
Looking for Dinosaurs
is just too neat !
Looking for things underwater is even better !
I love to Scuba dive.
During the day I spend a lot of time
looking through a 10X loop to see watch parts up close
At night I look through a 10 inch reflector telescope to
see large things a long long long way away
Most Galaxys look smaller then watch parts !!
Keep Looking Up
Without a doubt My longest running way
to enjoy time's passage has to be playing musical instruments.
Right now the Gibson Mastertone Banjo gets the nod most of the time.
Of course...the most enjoyable time is
spent in the company of Laura. She's my very best friend, my favorite Scuba Diving Buddy and Fossil Hunting Companion and she also happens to be married to Me.
