This was a gift for a friend.. felt great to get back in the creative mood after work has been so hectic lately. All of the pieces used are recycled from thrift and antique stores or given to me from other friends. Still hiccuping on what this type of art is supposed to be categorized as? For now I’ll call it altered art but I think it has some elements of assemblage and mixed media collage, too. Whatever the propery category for it, I have such a great time making them!
Old frame from thrift store, page from the fishing supply section of a 1900’s Sears catalog, word rolls created from a book of poems by Robert Frost (my fave), turn-key spring from a rusted sardine can that Carol found out in the desert (thank you!), wooden girl holding seashell figurine from a local thrift store, red wooden disk from a vintage stacking bottlecap game I found at the antique store. Lots of glue.
I’ve added a vintage photograph below my preview that you can download. You can use it in your art but not to be added to any collection of photos for sale or sold online as I have the original. Have fun, let me know what you create I’d love to see it!
