An Ideal Wife

   

This is a vintage Shadow box with clock parts and gears added in to give it a bit of a steampunk edge. 

The background paper is the Letters from Home paper pad by DCWV. The gears are from Bead landing's found objects, the larger gears are actual clock works and you will also fine a brass handle and small light bulbs. 

The flowers are all created from old book pages. The centers are either vintage buttons or beads.

The focal image is a retro note card promotional item from Virginia Slims. 

I used a bit of paper to block off part of the saying and highlighted the phrase "An Ideal Wife" with a crystal drop. 

Thanks for stopping by
