Description

The listing, HAND MADE FOLKART ANGEL ASSEMBLED WITH RECYCLED VINTAGE OBJECTS has ended.

This little cutie is a recycled scrappy looking angel. I have used all vintage materials except of course his head, which is clay.His neck is painted an idigo with red showing through, and his wings are mismatched wood pieces in a beautiful slate blue?? His eyes are vintage painted marbles. The body is an old red Prince Albert Tin, and his hat is an old biscuit cutter with a green wood knob.The dangly legs are made from vintage Rogers silver. He is A very raw ,primitive piece. I call this front porch art. He is fragile and needs to be handled as such. The silver for his legs hooks on and dangles like earrings, so they are not closed around the hook, it is too hard to bend them all the way. Also, the back of this piece is not pretty...lol He is assembled in the back, so you will need to hang him flush to the wall. I hope you love him as much as I do. Thank you so much for your continued support, it is very inspiring. xxoo

Connie, I saw this can last week, and I was like oh I gotta have that. I love making art out of what appears to be junk, and mixing the different textures.And being a woman I wished I had 50 hr. days so I could complete all the art projects that are stored in my brain...lol...Glad you like him!

Thanks! The pieces that I use in my art are just random pieces of silver plate, that I pick up here and there. I will be glad to check and see if any of them match your pattern, and let you know....Thanks again.

Very cool! Do you have any more old Rogers silver? Some of mine has been lost over the years. 1847 pattern.
