Mixed Media Altered Book Assemblage MANSION OF ACHING HEARTS Men Women

Description

This piece was inspired by a song title " The Mansion Of Aching Hearts " and a great tintype photograph I had of a group of Victorian men and women lounging together .

An old book was covered with layers of paint . I added several transfers and torn images from old magazine advertisements . Also I used portions very old letters and sheet music . It is embellished with fun stuff ... on top is a great old cabinet latch with porcelain knob . Hanging from the latch is a old key , prism , and metal tag ... it does make a lovely little tinkling sound when touched ! I used a old tin top as a frame for the photograph . Further embellishments are old dominoes , game letter cubes , a clock arm part of a ruler , a BIG wooden M and a little pressed brass bird . Main colors are a very soft blue , sepia , black , brown . It stands 7 " tall . Signed and dated on inside front cover , all other pages sealed together .
