Another assemblage

Sometimes I think I've found my calling when I rummage through my found objects and find things that make me happy.  Today is no exception.  And from all the comments I got on my first assemblage, you seem to like them, too.

This is my latest offering.

The very heavy metal pieces are ear tags for cattle.  A friend gave them to me when he cleaned out his garage one year.  I added a can lid, a washer, and a bolt, all things that were of no use to people who were getting rid of them.  Although the mirror is new, it went through the flood that consumed my basement a few years ago.  The glass bubbles and butterflies were new, but I needed something to add a bit of color to the piece.

I'm not sure how clever this title is, but if you don't like it, we'll blame it on Bleubeard.

Here is a side view that shows the size of the block I used and a bit of detail of the piece.

More detail shows the tags were either made by, or came from a serum company.

I love rust, and this assemblage is no exception.

Today is Day 16 and I created another assemblage I call "Forty Five (and Counting)."  I hope you enjoy it, because I hope to add assemblages to my repertoire, along with fabric and paper.
