On the outside surface of the wood picture frame: The artist artified the surface of the wood picture frame with 5 pieces of wood; and a metal thingy he saved from an old bureau-dresser (or a sewing machine) that he and a British friend had taken to a recycling centre in Newburgh, Scotland a few years ago. The 5 pieces of wood include 2 circular pieces of wood (I forget what I’d saved them from); a piece of drift-wood I’d picked up on a beach walk; a broken wooden clothes-hanger; and a piece of wood salvaged from an old broken table.
The wood frame is artified with a toy London city bus; a piece of drift wood; an old piece of wood from a broken table; a metal plate that had been on a sewing machine or on a bureau-dresser in Aberdeen, Scotland; a broken wood clothes hanger. On Oct. 7th I added a toy ‘Best of British’ London bus I bought at a thrift store in Seattle. On October 8, 2020, I added 7 stones, rocks picked up on a walk on the banks of the Thames River in London, April 2017; and I added one other stone which I forget where I had picked up it from.

A 14 sec. video (posted to my Youtube account) taken with my ipod when I picked up some stones and rocks from the banks of the Thames River, London, April 18, 2017:
I first learned of her life and murder by the Nazis in a documentary I saw on PBS televsion: "Enemy of the Reich: The Noor Inayat Khan Story."
/ A 5 paragraph blurb in the Seattle affiliate PBS station's website: https://www.pbs.org/show/enemy-reich-noor-inayat-khan-story/
/ Later I learned that Seattle Public Library has the dvd of the show in their circulating dvd collection for patrons and I rewatched it.
/ The producers of the film Enemy of the Reich:
Alex Kronemer and Michael Wolfe, Executive Producers; Rob Gardner, Producer and Director
/ The source photo of her which I did my drawing from can be viewed in, among various websites, at this url:

Background to Noor Inayat Khan:
She was born in Moscow, Russia, January 1, 1914. Her father, Inayat Khan (1882 – 1927) was a well-known Muslim Sufi from India. Her mother, born Ora Ray Baker, was an American, from Alberquerque, New Mexico. The family moved to London, England in 1914 when Noor was an infant. In 1920 the family moved to Paris, France. In 1940 the family went by sea to Cornwall, England after the Nazi’s armed forces invaded France from Germany.
Noor volunteered to be a British intelligence forces agent; she was sent to France. Eventually betrayed and arrested, she was murdered on September 13, 1944 at the Nazi’s Dachau concentration-death camp in Germany. She was thirty years of age.
