Assemblage

A Little More Mona

Picture
I created a small assemblage project using the back part of a vintage camera...the part that would have once held the film.  There was just enough room to build a small boxed space, adding a vintage photo, etc. After having this piece sit on my worktable for the last few weeks, I decided that I wanted to do more with it (as often seems to be the case).


I dug out one of my old wooden card catalog drawers (that I had recycled from the city dump a couple years ago).

The camera assemblage was destined to be a most perfect fit into the drawer.

Gluing it into place, I then created a cardboard divider toward the other end of the box...wanting to use that space for something more.
Picture


I lined the box (as well as the cardboard divider) with some of my old mapping paper.  I also glued into place a balsa wood "lip" that runs around the inside edge of both compartments...a great way to position and glue glass into place.

A somewhat creepy porcelain doll's head seemed to be screaming..."Pick me!"
Picture


I sanded down the back of the dolls head (with an electric rotary sander) to make it flat...easier to glue into place upon a wooden "floater."
Picture


Adding a small metal frame over the face  (this cardboard/frame piece glued onto the inside "lip"), the piece was almost complete.  
Picture


With a final cutting of glass and placing it over the camera assemblage (also glued onto the "lip"), the piece is now complete with multiple layers and dimensions.
