"Changeable" Art

Remember when I wrote of the cocoa pot that my mom's Aunt Laura gave her in my "Heirlooms" post? Well, this is a picture of Aunt Laura and my mom's cousins. I love, love, love little tiny old things and displaying them all together. This was a funky framed shelf that I picked up at a garage sale, covered the back with scrapbook paper and the inset frame with music sheet. I liked the antiqued gold,so I didn't paint it. What's fun about this open "shadow box" is I can add and/or change out the little doo-dad's on a whim!
There's a little quote at the top that says "Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother."

This little cutie is my first attempt at a "Creation under glass" that I did about a year ago... I collaged the little girl picture and put it in a tiny frame, the back is a tag and in the front are two antique buttons. I covered the bottom with text from an antique book--love the patina it has. Again, it's all just propped up in there, so I can change it out. I'm going to make more of these in larger sizes--they're fun!
