Remember
All the materials in this piece are found objects and up cycled/recycled and have the natural patina of history and mystery!
The center piece is made from an old photo of a woman I think looks like Emily Dickinson. I framed it with copper foil. I added three tiny bottles with natural items in them. One has little pieces from a bluebird egg, one has dried red rose hips, one has dried mosses. The bottles have a tiny mica lid.
Along with beads and baubles I used pieces of beaded jewelry, old buttons, a tiny watch face, chains, and old tokens to create the sides. The pieces are mounted on hand dyed crocheted silky ribbons and have a toggle clasp on the top. The sides are each about 10 inches long.

The center piece is made from a photo of a tiny somber girl. She is placed behind and looking through the bluish stone of the decorative vintage jewelry piece. I used a tiny silver spoon that I found in a burned cabin. I bent the spoon handle to hold the chain and added a glass bead with the word soon behind it. It hangs from the work with a ball chain. I used pieces of beaded jewelry, old diamond type buttons that hang from the side. The piece is mounted on hand dyed crocheted silky ribbons and have a toggle clasp on the top. The side ribbons are each about 9 inches long and the piece is 5 inches long including the spoon. Please email my with any questions

Free Will and Time Machine

This assemblage was inspired by philosopher Henri Bergson's book on Time and Free Will. I used a doll arm reaching through rocky surface to represent humanity reaching for free will. I added words from the book on little tacks on the rocklike surface. On the bottom wheel I added a old typewriter tab that says Floating Shift. The wings are made from text from the book.
I mounted the work onto a antique hinge. I also used paint and inks to further embellish the work. Any questions about the process or my work please convo me!
The size is 9 by 5 and is ready to hang.
Almost all the materials are recycled, upcycled, repurposed and rescued, making this piece very eco-friendly!
