Tim Holtz Inspired assemblage

Today I would like to share with you this assemblage inspired by TimHoltz. I am dedicating this piece to this great county we live in, and to my husband who has proudly served it for the last 17 years.

The Box was painted in gray and then distressed, the inside is covered with Tim Holtz tissue paper.
The Star is papier mache that is covered with foil tape, then faux stitched up the center with craft wire. I also used craft wire to make the barbed wire (with the help of my son).

I cut grooves in the top of the box so the gears would stand up, to hold them in place I used E-1000 glue.
The dog tag was found on Etsy and stamped with Archival ink.
The wheels are the new pulleys from Tim Holtz Ideology line, and the type charms have U S A on them.

Thank you so much for stopping to take a look.

    Hello Sherry

    Love the Alum Tape star - what did you use to create the black wash over the alum ?

    Thank you

      Thank you Plink.
      I rubbed the star down with Black Acrylic paint, I found that artist paint works the best due to the thickness.
