Filmstrip steampunk

Hallo,
   And its Friday once again - looking forward to some time in the studio tomorrow!!! Might takes the kayak out again Sunday am - if its not raining....
  Showing you today the last of my recent birdcage projects, another one with a mannequin form. I sprayed this one with silver and then added some rust paint to grunge it up. The pendant actually comes from an old pair of sandals I had with the pretty stone-like do dads.  She has a pretty feather and a filmstrip at her waist in front and one her back is clock hands, larger film strips and a silver clay medallion piece.
  The tray under the birdcage is wood with pretty silver engraving decoration around the edge. It had the same decoration in the middle of the tray too and I was able to peel it off and glue it to the inside bottom of the birdcage.
   The base is an old candle holder with the flat plate for the candle removed and I spray painted it and the birdcage in black.
   This piece is currently at Artel gallery in Pensacola for their - "Digital Smigital" show.
  This piece and the one with the birds and the painting I did with the picture of the rusty cage and spring mannequin are all sat Artel this month.
   Well I had better get myself off to work.
    Take Care
           Tera
