Roses, because it is (almost) winter

Cigar box. Paper roses on outside and inside of lid, inside" collage of glass, broken jewelry, metal,  wood, buttons, keys, chandelier bits and other found objects inside.

The oxidation of foil on glass is fascinating-- lower left rectangular chandelier piece: a Blue Valentine in my rose garden.

Future Past Series #1

Silver foil gilded blue windshield glass, silver filigree skeleton key, on silver pigment painted found wood.
Simplicity can be so wonderfully intricate and intense.

Between the Bars

Josephine Apartment series with mesh, broken jewelery, glass of all sorts (found), metal, plastic. The gold pigment, which the wood is painted with, is closer to the outside photos than the indoor. Some repairs had to be made, so the pieces do differ, slightly, from indoor to outdoor.
