I did this piece for an Exhibition that required sound to be part of the art work. I incorporated a music box and used images of times past. The haunting tree, from a photo found at my mother's house, is inside on the right side of the box. The front is an image from a fabulous time spent in New York at Gramercy Park and a metal heart that turns to make the music box play. Inside on the left (not seen) are recollections from my first trip to Paris.
This piece incorporates a cigar box, transfers , papers, transparency, drawing and wax. A mechanism for a music box is attached, that when wound up plays a beautiful lyrical tune. The image below shows the interior of the box that contains a 3-D triangle shape and
leaf made of paper.
"Gramercy Park, Paris & A Time Long Ago" 6" x 10" Encaustic with Elements
Its too bad you do not have more of these. I like this Idea better than the 6x6's.
A slew of music boxes would be aesome!
