Forgotten Child
This is an assemblage from another of my lost children series I just listed on Etsy. I created this one made with many pieces of found and salvaged metal such as an old metal box, a rusty round cog, a door piece with the above title on it, an old tool handle and a door lock slide that still functions.
On top is a vintage metal hinge with wonderful painted and metal texture, this also created easy display with the hole on the top.

A little lost child peers out of the port hole created by the cog. I used a bluish background cut from a 1927 book on ocean life for the background and added paint and glazes to give it a dreamy ocean look. I joined them all together to create an evocative fictional relic. It is 11 inches tall and 5 inches across. I used pieces of text from an old book to create the wording: Forgotten Child.

Unique art work--fasinating!
I noticed this piece in your shop yesterday. I sent my sister there. I love your work. There are two pieces that I want and my birthday is coming up - April 13th, so hopefully I can splurge. I don't want them to sell, so I will get them soon.

Hi Moonwild,
