Imagination

SOLD

Other artwork available for purchase at Art Creations by Vicky

This 12.0″ x 4.0″ Assemblage Canvas tells us that “Possibility begins with imagination.” And the imagination can run wild with crowned wings, hearts, roses, and even gears for a touch of steampunk. This particular size is especially popular as a unique accent piece for your wall – it’s lovely displayed alone or works beautifully in a wall arrangement.

The depth of this piece is 1.50″. The background is textured with stenciled modeling paste and a length of cheesecloth. A number of paints, spritzes, and waxes were then added before finishing off with 34 embellishments and dozens of tiny beads.

Embellishments include word band, two crowns, winged symbol, leaves of various sizes, two hearts, beads, gears, cabochon, cone, paper/fabric roses, and old hors d’oeuvres forks.

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.

Dimensions: 12.0” x 4.0” x 1.50″

Remnants

Inspired by the combination of a scrap of an ancient building, I dove into this 3D Assemblage wall art on canvas not really knowing where it would end up. The stunning result has a bit of an ancient feel all over and it’s filled with found objects, both vintage and new. The “REMNANTS” word charm seemed to be the perfect finishing touch.

I chose a blend of light violet and light blue mixed with gray tones for the foundation and then started adding complimentary colors as the layers of elements increased. My Assemblage Art is best described as “original 3D collage on canvas”. It does have a mixed media vibe as well but its many elements place it firmly in the Assemblage category.

Measuring 12.0″ x 9.0″ with a depth of 1.875″, the background is textured with stenciled modeling paste and finished off with a number of paints, spritzes, and metallic waxes.

Vintage found objects include:
Brass flowers and leaves
Chandelier trims
Rectangle metal piece
White bird
Buttons
Jewelry – earrings, beads, and base pieces for building jewelry
Metal leaves
Filigreed and Ivy embellishments
Wood half rounds
Decorative hors d’oeuvres forks
Resin piece of ancient structure

Newer elements include quote charm, metal embellishments, filagreed rounds, beaded bracelet piece, wings, bark, filigreed hearts, flower cabochons, and styrofoam heart.

Forest Nymph

Reduced $59.95 was $149.95

I’m reducing several of my original art pieces. They represent an earlier stage of my work and, although they aren’t the same design as I’m now producing, they remain beautiful wall decor.

Discovering a polymer clay mold for this gorgeous forest nymph (in round frame), my imagination went into overdrive as I saw visions of a woodland collage – Assemblage Canvas style. Straight from Greek Mythology, I envisioned an original 3D wall art piece featuring the woodland goddess in her natural environment. Some may call her a fairy rather than a nymph and that fits too!

One of my largest pieces to date, it measures 20″ x 16″ x 1.75″. Its background is comprised of numerous layers of paint and spritz sprays and stenciled texture paste in a number of designs. The art form is called Assemblage Art, a method of creating a larger art piece from smaller (found) objects. My assemblage art is on canvas rather than free standing.

The found objects used in creating this piece are, in a large part, vintage. Vintage elements include:
Round wood frame
Tin candy mold
Brass flowers and leaves
Chandelier trim
Jewelry – earrings, brooches, and beads
Beaded flowers
Filigreed and Ivy embellishments
Piece of beaded purse
Piece of beaded collar
Rhinestone button

Newer elements include polymer clay face made by yours truly, buttons, resin heart, and metal embellishments.

REDUCED $59.95 was $149.95

Nature Shadowbox Collage

It started with the idea of a nature shadowbox and ended up even better with the appearance of a shadowbox using a photo collage frame. Measuring a little over 14″ by 11″ (to allow for material on the sides of the frame), the elements are actually adhered to a canvas which is then overlaid with the collage frame.

Nature was my inspiration and there are many natural items in this piece – the twigs that make the trees, the moss, the pinecones, the Spanish moss used for the girl’s hair, and the piece of branch on which the red bird sits. The bird eggs, lavender, red bird, and butterfly are reproductions. I fashioned the girl’s face from polymer clay and the charm beneath her face declares “life is about creating yourself”. The frame is covered with creepy cloth which I painted to look like a natural material.

UNAVAILABLE – One of my first Mixed Media artworks, this item has been removed from inventory as it no longer reflects the style of my artwork today

Dimensions: 14.50” x 11.50” x 1.75″

Attached hangers for wall hanging. Although most of my Assemblage Art pieces can be framed, I don’t suggest framing this shadowbox collage as the cloth covering the frame hangs over the edges as part of its intricate design.

All natural items have been treated to assure the absence of pests.

I love featuring natural items in my assemblage pieces but then I grew and dried flowers for many years so you could say I’m an old hand when it comes to preserving nature.
