The Start of Something....

I've been looking at the piece in my studio for months now, perhaps even a year?  It is the start of a larger assemblage piece-to-be, but I haven't found the right elements to create the rest of it.  What you see here is an altered cigar-box "vessel" with vintage paper lining the inside, the cover of an old book, WWII ration stamps, a piece of old galvanized sheet metal, and a rusty bit of treasure that I picked up years back in good ol' Virginny.  I'm always on the hunt for intriguing rusty bits.  I've added some handwritten words as well so that my own "hand" is put into it.  So, for now...it is what it is.  One day...something more.
