Ask a question

This kind of "found material" crafting was popular when my mother was a kid. In this case, a floral image (probably from something like a greeting card, although the paper isn't that heavy) was decoupaged onto the back of an old eyeglass lens and had a pinback added.

There has been some discoloration, but the whole effect is rather charming in an off-beat way, and it's very much a relic of a vanished world. Likely 1970s. B83

We have a second one, equally charming, if a little bit better put together and probably a few years later. Also this lens is an octagon, with is really effective. B96

We do not, as per our official policy, take returns or issue refunds.
