Vintage Mixed Media Altered Assemblage Oh Charlotte by Kathy

Description

This is a mixed media assemblage that I call “Oh Charlotte”. This is a true one of a kind original, all pieces that are unique. There is a lot to this one, although it is small. Let’s start with the silver basket, so frilly and lacey. There is a group of silver leaves and flowers attached to the twisted handle. Inside I used a piece from an old quilt with buttons attached, and then some lace here and there, a beautiful vintage hanky is folded and tucked into the back. A large vintage jewelry finding is also in the back and lined with some appliqué lace. A large silver pendant is glued into this piece a small butterfly pin sits on the handle. Now for the best feature, the frozen Charlotte doll. She is genuine and still a bit dirty from being dug up in Germany. Love the history of these dolls. I finished it off with some pearls strung on wire and attached to the basket. This assemblage tells a story of the past… and would lovely on a table side vignette with other shabby chic or Victorian collectables.
This doll is not glued in, so she can be removed and admired.
doll: 3 inches
basket: 3 by 4 by 2 inches
