This week over at Mixed Media Monday the theme is buttons. I know it is suppose to be Mixed Media Monday but I can never seem to get things done by Monday so I am always late. I just don't work that fast. By time the theme is announced it takes me a few days to get my artwork done.... but here are my buttons!This is truly a noble effort ... another piece for my bathroom. I started with a smashed leather toiletry case.
The poem in the mirror reads
A gentleman in every way,
His sparkling eyes do smile.
His cloths are always sure to be
In just the latest style
His sparkling eyes do smile.

The watch case features fabric with news and map print that has been dirtied up with a little rust, a brass leaf branch, a top hat from a monopoly set, a brass harmonica charm, a rusty spring topped with a brass treble cliff and the typewritter of "H" for Heaton.
Yep ... that is my hubby in the rusted picture frame... a much younger version I must admit. He is much older and rustier himself now :))

Wow its fabulous, x
You have a knack for finding the most interesting and unusual items for your art pieces, Inka. This is a prime example. Such an excellent project with all the special touches that you always seem to add for that lovely effect. Even your husband looks vintage, and handsome too. Great piece.
Wow! I really like these Inka especially the last one even though it has YOUR husband's picture. I could easily put mine it it (hint, hint :))
wonderful assemblage! great manly artpiece!
