Savon du Congo
Gouache & Collage on Antique Document
7 x 11 inches
Price: SOLD
For this collage and painted piece I started with an antique French document, of which I collaged on an antique scrap art bird with an antique postage stamp. I collaged on borders of marbled and rice papers. At the top of the piece is an antique soap label 'Savon du Congo', which is mounted over a transferred engraved label. The bottom is done the same way with an antique scrap art feather. I then painted the series of African bird eggs with gouache. Lastly, I applied gold leaf to each side border.
