When I'm crate digging through junk at flea markets, sometimes you find something and think "woah!". "Why is this sitting out in the world unclaimed?" Like this tiny tiny tiny hand painted cabochon/cameo of a young girl in a pink dress with blue head band and scarf. She's really intrigued me. I wonder when it was painted. It's a real work of art. Or maybe hundreds of these were made and she's the equivalent of those fake photo-frame families you remove from a picture frame before putting your preferred family photo inside. I like to think she is real, you can see the tiny brush strokes. She may have been someone's daughter or sweetheart. As she's been so alone in the world for such a long time, I've paired her with a furry fox friend and included scraps of reclaimed sari silk as if torn from her dress. I also found a use for those rose transfer ceramic tubes that I bought at a charity shop in 2007! Yikes.
