Candy wrappers and handmade silkscreen and glitter papers with glass beaded trim have been used in this vintage dial phone that still works.I have always loved using candy wrappers in my work, as can be seen in this suitcase for sale .See below.

Candy wrappers are filled with so much color and I have reused them rather than throw them away. My daughters love ring pops and this was the inspiration for this phone.I also incorporated gum lemon heads, jaw breakers and other candy wrappers. I used these wonderful papers hand made from India. Glass bead trim and a couple of bubbles finish it off.

I will have my web site up and running soon so you can learn more about me and my art.

Recycling old rotary phones is a true passion of mine. My daughter gave me the idea of using candy wrappers and I loved it. They all work. I love them because 1) I can always find them when they ring and 2) they never lose battery power. and then 3) they make a great conversation piece and add to your decorum. I have used acid free glues with the handmade silk screened papers , I have finished it off with varnish.

hundreds of vintage buttons of bright colors have been used on this lovely dial phone that is still in working condition.Many of the buttons used are precious and collectibles, at every turn you can get lost in just looking at each individual. My daughter made this phone and I am very impressed. She outdid me! It is the finest phone in the collection. 20 hours of time were spent on this project and $100.oo in material costs alone. These buttons came from a vintage collection of Funky Findz, she deliberately choose each button and its placement with my thought and deliberation div
