frozen charlotte art, collage, mixed media, altered art, human heart, anatomy, anatomical art, vintage doll Charlotte Sometimes Assemblage/Collage  | $108
I have only named this "Charlotte Sometimes" as after the third piece in this series, that song (by the Cure) has seriously gotten stuck in my head. You can call her whatever you wish.

A sweet Frozen Charlotte (measuring over 4" tall) with a human-like heart adorns this 5" x 5" painted and collaged canvas. Recycled Sari silk ribbons, vintage lace and a dyed freshwater pearl go through the middle and rusted taxidermy tacks hold them to the canvases edge. Vintage lace, painted, rim the sides of the canvas and a pretty little bead and chain tassel hangs from the bottom.

Daisy picking daisies. I know -- the title isn't very creative, but I just love this gal! I think of her as my great grandmother Daisy. This piece measures 5.25" x 10.5" and is made from vintage upholstery fabric, vintage lace and silk, a 1940s mother of pearl button, freshwater pearls and lots of other bits and pieces. I love how stitch paper looks, especially after the edges have been burned (yes, I made the worn and torn edges that way on purpose). There is an optional wire hanger on back if you opt not to use the fabric one on top.

I had so much fun making the first Charlotte's Song piece that I've decided to do a huge series -- I'm shooting for 100. This one is called "Song of the Sea: and is adorn with tiny sea shells, crystal beads, vintage fabrics, trims and lace. The sheet music on the side of this piece is from 1902 -- over a 100 years old just like the Charlotte herself. She measures 3.5" by about 7".

Despite her lack of bright colors, this little gal reminds me of a spring garden for some reason. She is made from vintage upholstery fabric, vintage sheer dress material, vintage lace and some fantastic old-looking new fiber, vintage beads and of course a lovely rusted metal flower embellishment. The sheet music on the sides of the piece are from 1902 -- it wouldn't be Charlotte's Song without the music. She measures 3.75" x 8" including hanger.

I found this fleur de lis button at an antique shop a couple of days ago and KNEW it just had to go on my next Charlotte piece -- so here it is. Like her sisters, she is made from vintage fabrics and lace, and 1902 sheet music. She is a bit different in that she doesn't have a wee anatomical heart, but she's just as loving none the less. Her measurements are 3.5" x 6" including hanger.
