This is a personal project created using various craft materials including, paint, paper, ribbon, lace, wire, and cogs and gear from a watch. It was meticulously constructed using metallic paints and a hot glue gun. The rich deep golds and bronzes communicate a sense of the antique while the accent gears and wires speak of a modern mechanical age. Various unrelated materials that do not seem to go together can be melded seamlessly to create a beautiful whole. Color can be used to communicate time and place. While quality design can seamlessly meld two seemingly different eras, cultures and sensibilities while maintain beauty and style.
