Idylls of the King

Idylls of the King

Canvas board was covered with floral and script scrapbook paper that I scrubbed with light green acrylic. Matching ribbons, one polka-dot, criss-cross the board. Gypsy lassies were aged with sandpaper. A vintage leather book cover gives the piece its name and is topped with a tortoise shell buckle which then is topped with a copper metal hand. Brass stampings anchor the four corners and a floral stamping echos the leaves in the background. A handful of old English coins is the finishing touch. Available at this year's Open Studios Tour.
