When someone is in a bad situation, or in a losing position, this is the phrase that comes to mind. The phrase comes from pool (or billiards). When the cue (white) ball is behind the eight (black) ball, a player usually has no shot.
That's all. I thought this would make a good art piece.
The box is a mid century gentleman's valet case with the original velvet lining intact.
The back is collaged in a poster found in Pt. Reyes Station CA, that reads: "Face to Face Laugh Now Laugh Later". The poster was over-covered in gold acrylic paint and sealed with a varnish finish.
I think it turned out very cool.
What do you think?
ohhh la main du mystère.. j'aime.. !!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! It would fabulous in a gentleman's study, games room or library. I am so jealous of all your fabulous flea market finds... you must have a great eye!
ReplyDeleteWhat do I think? I think it's fabulous, and probably far too expensive. I wish I could go with you just ONE weekend to flea markets. You find the most incredible pieces, then turn them into even more incredible pieces.
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever and creative. Love your use of random elements that just seem to go together.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very cool! I never find any good finds at the flea markets around here. Thanks so much for stopping in to see me today.
