Hi Matthew,
I stopped by your blog, looks great! I just came across a local crafter in my area that does many things with watch parts, as it runs in the family watch repairs. Drew makes replicas of motocycles all out of watch parts, it was really neat to see all the detail (of course, they are small!) He is on etsy too. I haven't yet posted on about his creations, but here is their blog -http://a2ndtime.blogspot.com/
I started on wordpress myself, as I like the ability to change the themes so easily. I like to point out the different designers that I find in my travels, etc. www.precioussadies.wordpress.com
It sure takes a lot of work doesn't it!
