Steampunk Decor Via Assemblage Wall Art

Steampunk Decor Via Assemblage Wall Art

A 14″ x 14″ Assemblage Wall Canvas dedicated to steampunk and a little fantasy.

Steampunk Assemblage Art – an oft-requested theme – this time on a 14″ x 14″ gallery wrapped canvas. My steampunk version of Assemblage Art features the industrial and Victorian aspects of this engrossing science fantasy sub-genre. Look closely and you will see over 150 embellishments – both vintage and new.

A glance from the side shows the dimensional aspects.

Assemblage Art on Canvas begins with the background – it’s not just paint. I start with multiple coats and spritzes of paint on stenciled dimensional paste and pieces of loosely woven fabric. I then add more spritzes of highlights and finish off with colorful waxes (which dry to a hard finish). Multiple layers of embellishments are then added to complete this 3D collage to bring it to an overall depth of 2.5″.

Closeups

Vintage elements include pieces from four different belts (including one festooned with red rhinestones), buttons of all sizes, various bracelet links, checker, large pendant, ash tray, sewing machine parts, brooch, chain, mortar tie, broken glass, a bit of a pearl purse, broken pieces of a resin frame, clock gear, old bottle, resin clock fragment, crystal mint dish, brass necklace, and domino.

Newer pieces complete this steampunk look with items such as gears, various beads, rabbit head, wood supports, plaster face, buttons, cabochons, leaves, bracelet sections, decorative pins, diamond metal element, and various other metal embellishments.

A wire hanger is attached. With the gallery wrapped canvas and finished sides, there is no need for framing.

Dimensions: 14.0″ x 14.0″ x 2.5″

Two Become One

Two Become One

Vertical Assemblage Collages sell well here at Art Creations by Vicky. It’s a shape that fits nicely in a variety of wall spaces. This time, I split the vertical into two canvases – where one leaves off, the second continues the design.

Slightly to the side… the gallery wrapped canvas adds even more depth.

On gallery wrapped canvases, I blended a lighter green with turquoise for a background that is textured with stenciled modeling paste and finished off with a number of paints, spritzes, and metallic waxes. Embellishments are adhered to the canvas to form a three-dimensional design.

Left to right – upper half, a side view, and lower half

You’ll find over 130 embellishments in this pair of Assemblage Collages. Over two-thirds of those are vintage found objects including several necklace pendants, tiny oval box, tussie mussie holder, brooch (split in half), broken bottle glass, pieces from several belts, ornamental metal pieces, buttons, beaded flowers, fan blade, hearts, rhinestone buttons, beaded designs, imitation coins, thunderbird charm, chain, purple pendant, glass flower, and geometrical connector.

Side views allow a glimpse at the dimensional aspects of the piece.

Newer elements include round connector, turquoise pendants, beads, filigreed metal, large hearts, and leaves.

Each canvas measures 10.0″ x 8.0″ x 2.5″ giving the set total dimensions (with a 1″ space between the two) of 21.0″ by 8.0″ with a depth of 2.50″. Hangers are attached.

Storms Moving In – Time at the Family Farm

Storms Moving In – Time at the Family Farm

Time at the family farm in southeastern Oklahoma always brings me closer to nature. The woods offer wonderful trails for hiking. But the storms are magnificent and usually harmless. A big storm was moving in when I videoed this last week – I wanted to stay outside and experience it all so I planted myself on the screened-in porch. Lovely storm watching!
