Upcycled Vintage Beauty

When I started this Assemblage canvas, I knew I wanted to make the two vintage chandelier flowers the stars of this show. They were an incredible find, setting the mood for a rather extravagant piece using a combination of blues, greens, and ivory. Around 70 embellishments, mostly vintage, combine to make this a beautiful piece of art.

Another look at the three dimensional design.

Measuring 16″ x 12″, it’s slightly larger than my usual offerings. Texture plays an important role with a background built from multiple coats and spritzes of paint and waxes over several stencil designs utilizing dimensional paste. Pieces of a vintage fabric and filigreed metal enhance its intricate background. On a gallery wrapped canvas, the depth of this piece is 2.50″. 

Most elements are vintage – a goal of mine with every piece.

Vintage elements include two large metal chandelier ornaments, 1980s jewelry makings, chain, clock spring, frames of resin ornament, sections of four metal belts, picture frame section, dangly earring, various bracelet segments, watch band, wood carved pelican pen, filigreed door, icing cone, seashells, necklace pieces, part of a tiny teapot, button. Newer elements include filigreed rounds and leaf, beads, gear, cabochon, button, locket, and pendant. 

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

Dimensions: 16.0″ x 12.0″ x 2.50″
