Rust and Velvet

Rust & Velvet

Or "Hinge-man" as I call him in my lighter moments! An ornate frame from a rummage sale, velvet backing from a gift box, wooden spacer from a cigar box, screen and rusted wire - street finds from my enablers at work, the delicious rusty hinge (the inspiration that got the piece going) found by #1 daughter Bronwyn in San Jose, the hands, feet and face (made of bone) from a bead vendor at the Long Beach Quilt Show - - put them all together and Viola! Rust & Velvet.
