Assemblages don’t have to be cogs and wheels, nuts and bolts or heavy metal. Sometimes an assemblage can be sweet. Gosh I dislike that word since it makes me think of ‘chocolate boxy’ crafts work, full of crochet and flowers. I had purchased this pair of antique leather Mary Janes simply because I loved them. They evoked days gone by and sweet childhood memories. I hope I honored that feeling with these two assemblage pieces. And OOPS, there are flowers and bits of crochet edging. The tiny beaded flower is from a broken necklace of my mother’s. Funny how I keep finding uses for the bits of her life that are left. The yellow base is the lid of a luxury soap tin and the red bird base is the cover of an antique book. These will eventually be for sale in my Etsy Shop.
