Just finished a new assemblage that I am proud of...  one of those pieces that you just can't stop working on once you get it in your head (yes, I can be a TAD bit art obsessed).  Hope you like it... it's titled "PEACE WITHIN" and the meaning of peace within for me is that I truly believe that peace within can only begin when your heart and your head work together in harmony.

 

I started with a tiny steampunk heart I sculpted out of polymer clay.  That was added to a some of the inner workings of a vintage pocket watch.                                                                      

 Then , I fashioned a tiny steampunk head out of a Retro Café Head Shrine and some more of those pocket watch pieces...   

 ...all was added to a thrift store shadow box that I aged and then backed with the cover of a vintage book (which was cut to size). To finish it, we go back to Retro Café for a tiny plaque (from a pack of label pull style frames) which was decopauged with vintage song lyrics and rubbed with gilder's paste and a scavenged metal piece off of an old window frame.  I like the way it all came together-  I hope you do too!  Namaste!
