Indulgences Assemblage

I decided to finish some of the assemblages I had started... some needed a few additional things... Here is one that is made from a jewelry box that had a photo framed cover, I turned it on it's side, inserted one of the old church shingles on the inside, on the back I put some material over some cotton for that quilted-like look. There is a brass corner cover at the top of one corner with a red crystal bead hanging from it, and brass looking letters made from nails that spell the word "LOVE".

On the other side is a heavy brass "paper" bag, with a heart tag attached that says, "indulge", inside is a wooden cross. Next to the cross is a brass Jesus figure, behind him are the words "READ, MARK, LEARN & INWARDLY DIGEST", with a brass and jade looking jewelry piece above the words, and a gold painted rope wrapped in a circle behind Jesus. On top is a brass handle I found, maybe a drawer handle? Also on top are three brass monkeys with red jewel eyes doing the "speak, see, hear no evil" thang.
