Nostalgia in the Key of Rust

This time I used a vintage metal clarinet (lower half) that I found at the local swap meet a year or two ago. The background is marbled paper from Paper Mojo . The deliciously rusted door plate was picked up last February in a wonderful little antique shop near the San Francisco de Assis Church in Taos. An old key, broken pencil and small slab of rusted metal complete the piece.

I love the delicate elegance of the marbled paper in juxtaposition with the rough edges of the rusty bits and broken pencil.
