Made with a bone found at a flea market. Someone collected it, attached it to a little white card and wrote these words on it. I wanted to make a more permanent place for the bone and the words. So I carefully sawed out each letter freehand and hard soldered each one individually to the copper background, no easy task. Then I sewed the bone to the metal background as it had been on the card. This piece is the first in my "re-collection" series.
