This is great! I love how the box is not decorated, but seems like a very old assemblage from years ago that an artistic soul would have done. Glad to see you kept the purity and did not give in to a lot of the decorative tricks in collage today. Great job on the right side. I like the layering. I'd like to see it closed because it looks as if the two figures are encircled by the opening. Very nice!

Wow...you just nailed what I work really hard to accomplish, I try to make every piece feel as if it could have been discovered in the corner of some old attic. I really enjoyed your comment, thanks for taking the time!

I think that is one of the things that makes Cornell's pieces so special. They have that aged relic kind of look to them. Will be looking forward to more collage.

I cut out the images from an 1800's Dore book and spray glued them to water color paper. The recut them and left a 1 inch flap that was glued to give them rigidity.
Then just glued them about 1 inch apart in layers. Then cut a hole for the lens and wrapped the edges in stain glass copper.
Done!
