In Progress: Shiny Brite Design Machine

 

This is not a series piece for sale, but instead a piece that I am building for my home.  I have been collecting specific items (stored separately from my source material for other pieces) for about three and a half years and decided that this week would be a good time to build something new for myself.  Being extremely picky about what goes on my walls, I scrutinized and considered each and every element here very closely before committing it to the boards I bought and prepared to house this piece of work.   While there are some other small considerations to make, other small items to be added and a final coat of matte medium to be applied, all items have been affixed to the boards for the most part.

Pinbacks

1960s & 70s vintage promotional pinback buttons.  Found on eBay and flea markets.

More Graphic Fun: 1950s, 60s & 70s
