Vintage Photo Art, Mixed Media Art on Canvas, Shabby Chic, Unique Gift Idea

Description

This listing is for my original artwork on a 6x12 traditional stapled-back canvas which is in the "Vintage Art Collection." I begin with a print of a vintage girl image. I adorn her with a spectacular head piece made using paper/prima flowers, charms, real jewelry pieces, gems, and lace. The background of the canvas is painted with acrylics, paper crafted and then to add more texture I use modeling paste with my vintage-style stencil to create a fabulous dimensional look and feel. I then use distress inks in flecks of antique bronze and gold. A BIT ABOUT MY WORK: I use only the best and most unique products when creating my masterpieces, such as acrylic paints, archival quality papers, faber castell india ink brush pens - which are also lightfast - windsor and newton watercolor markers, vintage papers and sewing patterns, patterned tissue papers, prima-style flowers, bubble wrap, drywall tape, cheese cloth, real jewelry, and lace...just to name a few! Whew! I pay special attention to the details of each piece, after all it's the small things that count, right!? You will notice that even the sides of my canvases are finished and detailed to give each piece a complete look.
