Vintage Art Piece

I am so behind on posting some of the art pieces I made this past summer.  With the big carnival event for Halloween and then jumping right in to fall and winter art I've been crazy busy the last few months.  The overall size of this piece is 5" x 2 1/2".

Vintage Flapper

I have another vintage piece for you.  My inspiration came from the gorgeous piece of lace that I’ve had for a while and was itching to use.  This ATC has a little bit of a Valentine feel with the heart stickpin; oh yes Valentines is fast approaching. 

If you love romance and Valentine inspired art I have some projects coming up and a new collage sheet.

Lovely Lady

There are some color combinations that I really love.  Yellow, black and white are one of my favorites.  After all of the holiday art I’ve been working on, it’s been fun to creating some vintage pieces.  Hope you like it as you will probably see it again in a future giveaway!

Bird Waltz

Over the last few months, in addition to all of the Halloween projects, I’ve been slipping in a few other projects plus participating in various swaps groups.  Throughout November is catch up time.  I'll be posting these items and the swap returns I’ve received from other artists.  This little vintage piece is called “Bird Waltz”.

A Summers Day

The combination of soft yellows, browns and creams are one of my favorite combinations.  The woman that is the focal point of this ATC is the same one I used for the Lovely Moments Canvas Book.  I loved so many of the images I used for the book, I decided to create a series of ATCs using scaled down versions of the images.

Enchanted

After first making the larger framed piece I decided to use many of the same elements to create an ATC.  The overall size of the framed piece is 7” x 5 1/2 “.  I found the frame at Michael’s Craft Store.  It’s a perfect size for pieces that are a little larger than an ATC or for framing an ATC.  To create the framed piece, I started with a wood birdcage which I aged using Ranger Crackle paint and then Ranger Distress Ink.  I collaged papers behind the birdcage and then mounted it to the pink and white striped paper in the background, using several layers of double stick tape so it would popup to the level of the frame.

All Peaches and Cream

Pretty in Pink

Just a little something pretty!

Behind the Garden Wall

The inspiration for this piece is the image of the woman.  I just love the colors and style of her dress and her lovely face.  I’ve had her sitting around my studio for a while as I decided what to do with her.  The paper in the far background is from Land of Nod Studios.  Deborah offered it up on one of her “Free Photo Fridays”.  Next I added an image of an old frame and a piece of architectural detail at the bottom.  The metal gate is a wire piece I purchased at Michaels craft store several years ago.  It’s one of the many things I’ve bought that I didn’t know how I would use, but knew it would be perfect for something someday.  The gold at the bottom is a piece of lace.  Lastly there are brass birds and bees, beading, paper flowers, fabric flowers, brass flowers, and images of vintage jewelry.  The overall size of the piece is 3” x 6”.
