My art studio has been a busy place the last two weeks. I tend to create several pieces at once and I now have three new Assemblage canvases added to my shops while another four are still in the works. Spending that much time creating is so good for my soul – it’s such deep down satisfaction.

One of the things I enjoy most about Assemblage Art is the fact that it is so variable – there are so many directions to take each work. Today’s piece has yet another new look for me – elegance with a bit of old European flair.

A fun fact – in September 2016, I ran a post here titled Finding Those Treasures to Turn Into Little Bits where I talked about finding vintage items to disassemble or cut into smaller pieces for inclusion in your Assemblage or Mixed Media art. I included a real find – a belt with numerous silver looking adornments. And the largest of those adornments is featured in today’s work – at it’s very center.

Now for the official description:

Reminiscent of another age, this Assemblage Art canvas has a European look and feels especially romantic. Assemblage is the method of creating a larger art piece from smaller objects. Best described as a 3D collage on canvas, it contains numerous vintage “found objects” as well as newer embellishments.

Measuring 8.0″ square with a depth of 1.50″, the background is textured with Finnabair’s Art Stones and stenciled modeling paste in a rose design and finished off with a number of paints, spritzes, and Finnabair’s new line of antique and metallique waxes.

Vintage found objects include: pieces of a beaded purse, metal belt piece, coin replica, metal hearts, and decorative button. Newer embellishments include: resin figurehead, paper roses, beaded wire, six types of metal adornments, beaded fabric, floral cabochons, beads, and filagreed metal rounds.

Hangers are attached and, while I prefer the no-frame look, this Assemblage Art piece is ready for framing. It will also display nicely on an easel.
