Things are moving quickly around my art studio. I’ve been organizing even more plus creating. I love organization and have to create in a clean space but organizing yet again (!) makes me feel like I’m loosing production time. Eeeek!

You see, my art room has grown to three rooms now (therefore the use of “studio”) which means I’m driven to make sure every inch is used properly. But in the end? I actually produce more when every element is in order. Organizing thousands of found objects and my newer elements has been time consuming in the extreme but deciding I need a moon and reaching for a tagged sectioned container that tells me “moons” are within, well, it’s terrific! So, I’m creating more with even more joy these days!

And here is my latest – A Lady Moon rather than your typical “man in the moon” scenario…

With a whole lot of beauty and a lady sitting on the moon, this Assemblage Canvas exudes a definite romantic feminine feel… with a little whimsey, of course. I’ve named it “A Lady Moon” and love that we have a “lady in the moon” rather than the traditional man. Measuring 8.0″ by 8.0″ with a depth of 1.50″, the background is textured with stenciled

modeling paste and finished off with a number of paints, spritzes, and metallic waxes. Embellishments are then adhered to the canvas to form a three-dimensional design.

You’ll find more than 50 embellishments plus dozens of tiny metal beads in this piece of Assemblage art. Older elements (found objects) include an oval cameo base, beaded necklace sections, brooch, button, earring, square bead, and various other beads. Newer elements include the lady moon stamping, paper roses, numerous metal embellishments, cabochons, bracelet section, the tiny beads, and pieces of a berry wreath.

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: 8.0″ x 8.0″ Depth 1.50″

Hmmm, I think this one could be called Industrial Steampunk. Although I know there are numerous mixed media artists who create “industrial” art, it’s a first for me and probably more than a little unique with a heart sitting at its center! As I adhered the final embellishment, I caught a sense of industrial America, say 1900-1940s. I saw the factories, the war effort, the hope, and the peace – all as an artist, of course. 🙂

And now for the official blurb…

Although it’s full of steampunk vibes, this Assemblage Art on Canvas has a definite industrial feel to it as well. Assemblage describes the process 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 10.0″ square with a depth of 1.5″, the background is textured with stenciled modeling paste and finished off with a number of paints, spritzes, and metallic waxes. Primary colors here are shades of green and copper accented with a bit of red.

In the center sits a handmade polymer clay heart that is surrounded by approximately 85 embellishments. Vintage elements include sections of a pearl purse, paper bottle top, buttons, bracelet base, beads, earrings, purse clasp, bobbin, strip of a beaded purse, bracelet links, and necklace pieces. Newer elements include winged peace sign, metal beads, 2 clock faces, propeller, word tag stating DESTINY, starred round, bird, cabochons, pop bottle cap, stars, and many metal elements such as flower, tree, gears, diamonds, squares, keyhole, wings, arrow, claw, and crown.

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: 10” x 10” x 1.5″

I took another adventure into new color for this latest work which ended up being a romantic look at our emerging spring. Oklahoma has had a good old fashioned cold winter (of which I’m very thankful – insects love mild winters) but even me, winter lover that I am, longs to see evidence of spring.

So, here’s the official description…

Heart of Spring – 3D Heart Found Object Art

I must have been feeling a touch of spring when creating this latest Assemblage Canvas. Its vintage heart center gives it a romantic flair while many of the other embellishments add a feel of an emerging spring. For me, Spring always brings with it the desire to explore and I thought the word charm summed it up nicely with “wanderlust – a strong desire for, or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world.”

Measuring 10.0″ by 10.0″ with a depth of 1.25″, the background is textured with stenciled modeling paste and finished off with a number of paints, spritzes, and metallic waxes. Embellishments are then adhered to the canvas to form a three-dimensional design.

You’ll find around 75 embellishments in this piece of Assemblage art. Many of those are actually vintage found objects including the gold heart, necklace links, beads, resin frame piece, imitation coins, beaded necklace, earring, Monopoly house, porcelain house, and a number of 1980s jewelry makings.

Newer elements include the bottle, clock, a variety of leaves, beads, coin, branches, hearts, bird on a branch, filigreed metal rounds, quote charm, metal beads, buttons, butterfly, grapes, glass rounds, and metal embellishments.

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.
