15 Rose Lane

15 Rose Lane 6x6"

Steampunk in Stepney. A 6x6" canvas covered with a xerox of a Victorian engraving, stenciled and stamped. A strip of copper anchors the right hand side and is decorated with sealing wax, a copper earring disc and a large watch gear. Funky ring trim flanks it.

A large rose button centers the piece and is attached with wire. Wooden gears (Small Studios) are topped with mini wire mesh roses. A number plaque (Tim Holtz) and a cameo disc complete the work.

I am really enjoying this series. It's quite fun picking out the various bits and bobs to embellish with and, research geek that I am, I love finding the London street names - my best source has been the 1891 Streets of London. This piece available at October's Open Studio.
