"REBEL"

Vintage Assemblage by gailmarie

Items used - vintage: Curity "Cotton Picker" tin, tarnished silver forks, toy bowling pins, wooden croquet ball, part of drawer pull, dominos; rusted nails, plastic/metal pcs, jewelry chain, staples, wire, screw and bolts

The nails caused a split in the ball (in the back), so I ended up trying to "fix it" using glue and wire. I liked the end result, even though the split in the wood is still there (kind of like the big scar on my forehead, from a really bad car accident years ago). I figured if I can go around with a scar on my face, so can "Rebel"!!!  :o)

Upside down, the bowling pins fit into the "black plastic things" perfectly (they remind me of black boots).

When I saw this tin, I just HAD to have it!!! I never saw a "Cotton Picker" tin before. I guess this was their version of what we now know as "cotton balls."

This piece screams of "A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E" to me. From her hands on her hips, to the eyebrow piercing (staple), to her big dangle "earring," down to her "leather" boots. Boy, I sure wish I had her confidence!!!
