Description: I started scrounging junk from desert washes and the old Kingman, Arizona dump around 2003.To this day Rust Metal Madness plagues me! I find it difficult to pass up pieces of squished rusty metal and bits of broken glass. I see "things" in the metal, objects waiting to express themselves into assemblaged art. I can't resist arranging, glueing and painting the metal. I have been told that there is no vaccine or cure for this malady except to go into my studio and make art!The first thing I do is clean the metal and clear it with Rustoleum. This keeps the rust from bleeding through the paint and other objects.The body of this piece is an old Prince Albert Tabacco tin. It is pretty beat up.....should be an indication of what smoking will do to a body. Anyway, when tobacco advertising was allowed and it was fashionable for women to smoke, the tobacco companies targeted women. This ad is from a 1948 Life Magazine ad. Cute! Is that Mommy on top? (Actually, it is La Catrina, a woodcut from Roadsidelinenart on Etsy). I glazed her and added pink bling. The piece measures 5 & and 1/4 inches tall and is 3 inches wide. It will stand or hang. The intention of this piece is to put a smile on your face and remember the good old days!Free shipping. Sorry, I do not ship internationally anymore.ENJOY!
