Lost & Found VI and VII

(Above:  Lost & Found VI. 18 1/2" x 18 1/2". Custom framed with assorted tacks. Found objects hand-stitched to a section of a vintage quilt. Found objects include: A strainer spoon; gold and burgundy coffee K-pods; four felt-covered piano hammers; two serving spoons; two gold teaspoons; two wooden stars; two red Tinker Toy connectors; six guitar tuning pegs; three "Tool Hall of Fame" medallions from Skilsaw; assorted medals; buttons and beads.

I have an increasingly large stash of found objects but many don't lend themselves to arrangements of concentric circles. They just can't become "Found Object Mandalas".  They can, however, become part of a newer series:  Lost & Found !

(Above:  Lost & Found VII.  22" x 22". Custom framed. Found objects hand-stitched to a section of a vintage, applique quilt. Found objects include: A blue-and-white china plate; a serving spoon; zebra inspired salad serving utensils; two gold dinner forks; two gold salad forks; purple water pistols; pink badminton shuttlecocks; blue and purple tri-pick combs; blue and orange, plastic bottle caps; orange syringe caps; two Peet's coffee instant pods; six, bright orange printer ink cartridges; two brioche molds; and buttons.

This new series is also an excuse to go "over the top" in both the framing and color choices.  I'm having a great time with them!  I might even start a blog listing for just them! 

UPDATE!  There's no time like the present!  With only seven pieces, why not create this unique listing!  CLICK HERE to access!
