Tarnished Metals
Tarnished metals....silver, silverplate, brass, steel....to me, they are all so appealing and its fun and interesting to mix them with textures...fabrics, feathers, ribbons and wood....
A bouquet made from a page of an old book and a sewing pattern.... is tied with a silk ribbon and sits in a found miniature silver plate trophy.....
Vintage metal box
Hammered vintage heart which is really very large and heavy....almost too big to wear!
Sweet metal and glass picture frames
Decorative old brass doorknob
Old keys....some very rusty!
silverplate tray with button hooks and silver bookmark
Gold and silver crochet necklaces
Lovely metal mesh purse with sterling frame.....notice the little blue clasp? Notice the tiny spider who is sitting in the sun or perhaps just posing for the picture?
Sterling silver monogrammed mirror and powder case
Old metal shoe buckles
Silver oval box with key
Slim silver plate vase and feathers
Metal buckle as a holder for stamped mini tags
Decorative scissors
Just scratching the surface of stuff hanging around here.......does anyone like copper? That's another whole post!
