full view of final piece
top viewHere is the link to the original PRE DISINTEGRATION photos and the initial REVEAL post. Today we have the final reveal photos - the finished product.
I loved the papers stacked together, so I used most of them for this bundle/collage. I sewed onto one page a fabric paperwhimsy image using a piece of cloth under the page in order to keep it together solidly. When sewing through the old paper, it can cut it into two pieces as the sewing machine makes it's perforated line.
Inspired by Stephanie Lee, I made a little book out of some of the pages which is attached to the peace and love vintage ribbon. Since I love bling as much as rust, I added a row of rhinestones to top it all off.

Stacks of interesting papers, especially when weathered and worn, are always intriguing but this stack is taken a step further to create an artwork that grabs my attention. I love the additional little book you've made, Theresa.
Lovely work!
Thanks for your visit and kind comment, too.

This is amazing!! I've never heard of this technique before, I'm fascinated by the idea of it. The elements you chose here look so magical all together!!
Very clever and nice composition too. Not everyone can make disintegration look beautiful.
