Knotty Passage

"Knotty Passage"...a whimsical mixed media art piece by Sherry Candy Lane began with the wooden & very "forest" detailed frame. Combine this with a belief in forest creatures...night happenings unknown to human creatures...gnomes...elves...fairies...in their hidden existence...This intrigue has evolved into a glimpse for you....enjoy the presentation.
The border of the forest is congested with berries, leaves, tree pins, crescent moon brooch, metal sketched face, and much more. Overseer is a gnome sculpture/wood....he smiles with all the knowledge that only he has about the D O O R in the old sycamore tree.
Beads, Rings, Trinkets, Red-etched leaves, & transparent dragonflies (fairies?) hover.
Weave your own tale...treasures? festivities? initiations? another more-interesting world...behind the amber scaped DOOR...in the foreground, gold-framed amber brooch, vivid forest flowers, & a chipmunk carved by a fellow sculptor...Best of all, the 1980's illustrated card, saved for this special occasion, blends into the rite of passage....a mighty interesting, winged, pointy-eared lamp carrier entices anyone daring enough to enter...
View of lower left corner...A wee two-toothed gnome nestles behind the jumbo diamond ring & wire-woven beaded flower...Tiger eye treasure to his right...and a paper-winged red-bodied dragonfly...


This work measures 12" x 15".
