Untitled


For this piece I used some vintage household labels, a couple of dominoes, a ceramic angel, a cabinet card from the late 1800's, a cigar box that was sanded and painted black and some old vintage map paper. A circuit board from an old mouse was placed over the face of the man on the cabinet card for an added effect. Some wire decorations of red stars were used to accent the box. The men on the Kull's labels were from cigar box vintage labels.

Drink Double Cola

SOLD

Here's another cigar box modified with map paper sanded down to give it a vintage look. I used Yes Paste to glue down the map paper. It works very well and I highly recommend it for projects like these. I found a Double Cola advertisement in a 1950's Life magazine I had lying around and decided to create my own piece in honor of Double Cola. Glass was cut and glued with a light application of silicone and then the men's smiling faces were glued on, also with a thin layer of silicone.
