Glove & Blade

The Glove & the Blade

An assemblage box that whispers of intrigue, secret assignations, the whirl of a cloak around a dark calle leading to the Grand Canal.


The background paper is from 7 Gypsies, the glove, an enlarged detail from a Renaissance painting. These are topped with a vintage foreign coin, a spray of wrought iron leaves and a rusty pair of vintage barber shears that I've been saving for awhile, waiting for just the right piece. And this was that piece!



Come closer and listen, to the sotto voce innuendo of The Glove & the Blade.
