This one-of-a-kind mixed media art piece is designed in the shape of an hourglass, symbolizing the passage of time, memory, and the beauty of transformation.
Set inside an 11x14 rustic gray shadow box with a linen backing, the artwork blends celestial and mechanical elements—gears, clocks, wings, pearls, and symbolic charms—layered into a flowing composition that moves from light to dark. Each section reflects a different stage of time, from curiosity and wonder to reflection and remembrance.
This piece was created using hand-selected components collected over the course of a year, making it a truly unique statement artwork. Perfect for a home office, reading nook, memorial space, or as a meaningful gift for someone who appreciates symbolism, steampunk aesthetics, or contemplative art.

Each Button and Brooch Art piece is thoughtfully handcrafted using vintage-inspired brooches and/or carefully selected buttons, arranged to create a one-of-a-kind framed keepsake. Designed to blend texture, charm, and a touch of whimsy, no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
The brooch is mounted in front of the glass, allowing it to be easily removed and worn. Once removed, the frame remains fully functional — perfect for displaying photos, notes, or meaningful memories, making this piece both decorative and versatile.
Whether displayed on a shelf, desk, or wall, these framed designs make memorable gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or just because. A beautiful way to celebrate creativity, storytelling, and wearable art.
