The Cottage, The Bird, and the Moon

The Cottage, The Bird, and the Moon

Blue – done just right! This 3D collage leans toward a more traditional assemblage art look with a splash of steampunk and a dose of whimsical. The cottage’s roof is part of a light bookend broken just for this piece. The majority of elements are vintage.

The brass flower focal point sets on a vintage round milkglass liner and is actually a beautiful light blue (hard to photograph). Its marking, Boyd’s Genuine Porcelain Lined Cap, is embossed around the edge and can easily be seen. 

The three-dimensional effect of this piece can be felt (seen) with these side views.

On a 12.0″ x 9.0″ gallery wrapped canvas, the depth of this piece is 2.50″. The background has multiple coats and spritzes of paint with stenciled textured designs. Multiple layers of embellishments are then added to complete this 3D collage. 

Look closely and you will see approximately 50 embellishments – both vintage and new. Vintage elements include a checker, button, large rhinestone, metal floral trim, bookend, brass flower, glass milk lid, ash tray, various metal belt sections, different necklace links, and pieces of several bracelets. Also vintage – arrowhead, large earring, pendant, metal beads, and other embellishments.

Newer embellishments include metal filigrees, leaves metal embellishments, and bird with branch.

My imagination quickly sees a cottage with a big moon hanging low and a bird sitting in a tree.

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