Mystery find!

A few months ago I was in search of some interesting forms to make a series for this show. While walking through an antique mall in Chico, which is like an anthropology museum to me except you can touch stuff, I found treasure! Up on the second floor balcony quietly sitting on the floor was a fancy wooden lazy susan-like flower sculpture with a shell lining. The center bowl was surrounded by ‘petals’ that lift out for serving or displaying or who knows what?

A thin round tin with small cutouts and indentations came my way that was perfect to mount an Aqua Delight on. I treated the main surface with a stenciled wash. Found marbles, buttons and good luck coins fill the outer circle. The adorned tin is mounted on a large wooden good luck coin that hung in my studio forever. It’s the perfect diameter and good energy, so I gave it up for ‘the cause’.
