The Lovely Blues – 3D Floral Collage

SOLD

When I started this Assemblage canvas, the only direction in my head was to strive for extravagant beauty using this combination of blues and green. The large flower (that is sitting on an overturned ashtray) would serve as my focal point. I realized I had all sorts of vintage items to include in this work… including that large flower which originally was a decorative element for a chandelier.

Measuring 14″ x 14″, 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 both dimensional paste and plaster paste. A layer of fabric further enhances this intricate background.

Just what is Assemblage? It’s the creation of a larger art piece from smaller objects. Best described as a 3D collage on canvas, my assemblage art pieces contain numerous vintage “found objects” as well as newer embellishments. This Assemblage Canvas contains around 120 found objects or newer elements making its depth 1.50″.

Here those vintage found objects include two brooches, chandelier flowers and crystals, pearl collar, pearl purse, ashtray, various bracelet links, imitation coins, 1980s jewelry makings, assorted beads, beaded necklace, and large brass button.

Newer elements include the bird, branches, beads, filigreed rounds, shell, various metal rounds, shield, numerous leaves, hearts, roses, berry wreath, bark, cabochons, word charm, decorative metal pieces, square tiles, stars, and wings.

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 a large desk easel.

Dimensions: 14.0″ x 14.0″ x 1.50″

A Lady’s Moon – 3D Wall Art

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″

Many of those embellishments are vintage found objects including assorted metal disks, bracelet links, adding machine key, various necklace links, earrings, 1980s jewelry makings, imitation coins, watch face, and a beaded necklace.
