Collage Assemblage On OLD Book Cover Romantic ... A LONGING IN MY HEART ... MAN and Woman

Description

This was a fun little collage to make !
I had a Circa 1860 book cover with beautifully designed paper already on the inside ... no need to do a thing to it . I added a cabinet card photograph of a man with his top hat in hand in which I altered the background . I added a tiny lithograph picture of a pretty woman whom I named Maggie . After adding a sheet music fragment I " framed " the photo with C1910 glass photography plate and old ribbon . The corners are accented with brass paper fasteners . The metal sunburst at the top is from an old embossed lid to Dennison's paper fasteners . The fun test tube has a song title rolled up and inserted ( I finally found a use for a stash of old test tubes ! )and then sewed onto the board . I attached a long old skeleton key to the tube . A Scrabble tile M for Maggie completed the piece . A spring was added as a hanger .
Measures 4.5" x 7 " .
