Tattooed by Life

The FuturePast style. Is it old? Is it new? Is it sacred? (yes)

Copper foil accented with gold pigment painted glass. I like the juxtaposition of the shine/matte.
Sculpy Scarab in Art-Deco style @ center with halo of vintage and fresh water pearls. On found, round wood piece.

I changed my mind (a mermaid piece)

I changed my mind. I made this for the newly married couple, and it belongs to them. I will get to spend a long weekend staring at it, and give it to them on Tuesday. (*if you are reading this for the first time, I originally called this post 'conundrum', and was being selfish and wanted to keep this for myself.)

Shells, white coral, freshwater seed/rice/round pearls, a few vintage faux pearls,  pre-ban antique red coral, windshield glass, silver foil on gold painted found wood piece. 5" x 8"

Butterfly

Just a blue sky with a butterfly.
Found wood with gouges. Blue windshield glass gilded with silver/gold foil. Monet gold tone/rhinestone butterfly brooch (broken).

Thanks to whomever thought this pretty enough to post on FB; hello strangers: look around-- there is lots of great found glass collage work here.
