ACEO trading cards

i love artist trading cards. such a fun and cheap way for the art lover to get a new piece of art. so interesting to see what an artist will come up with for such a small amount of space. i found a few collage trading cards on etsy i thought i'd share. do you have any trading cards for sale? ever made one, or two?

Happy New Year!

This collage by Stew Henderson is appropriately named "Night Circus with Fireworks". Acrylic, lino print, enamel and collage on gray paper, this piece would add flare to any room.

Henderson does some phenominal work and I recommend you check out his site http://www.stewhenderson.com/ which contains some of his works and biography.

Richard Stankiewicz: Abstract Expressionist

I thought it would be fun to highlight a well-known sculptor/assemblage artist every now and then. On today's agenda: Richard Stankiewicz.

Born in 1922 in Philadelphia, Richard later moved to Detroit to enlist in the Navy. There he began painting and sculpting, and soon after, he studied in Paris and New York. He joined a gallery and began to exhibit his work, mainly scrap metal sculptures. Richard kept at this until his death in 1983 and today many of his pieces can be seen in museums and sculpture centers.

This piece is called Kabuki Dancer; an assemblage piece made of iron and steel.

You can find this one at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Lovely!

Assemblage Horse

So my son and I are members at the Children's Museum here in Chicago and they have this great assemblage piece on display right now! It's a great piece and wanted to take pictures of it to share with everyone...

Tons of found objects sculpted into a giant horse.

You could stare at it for hours!

The Work of Our Members: Week 4

The time has come to update this blog with the lovely crafts of our crafters here on the Collage Team from Etsy!!

Here we go!!


Here is a super cute original collage by sliceofdelight.etsy.com. I love how this mama is holding her baby in a basket and the saying states, "It ain't easy...". Being a mama to a sweet little boy myself, I can understand what she is going through! :)


She has attached a magnet to the back to allow you to decorate your fridge or to use this lovely as a bookmark!

This is an original collage made from recycled newspapers by CutNGlue.etsy.com. This collage is called "Skyline Drive" mounted on wood and measures approximately 9 x 6 inches. My husband, son and I just moved the Chicago and this piece reminds me of the hustle and bustle of big city living. Great!!

P.S. I am so sorry my dears that I have not posted in so very long. My husband and I are starting a business and it seems to have taken up much too much of our time. I will be posting more often now as we are in a great place during this transition....

The Work of Our Members: Week 3

An update from our wonderful and talented group of collage artists...
Looks like everyone has been very busy!! Keep the creative juices flowing! :)

This is a bright and colorful collage of mixed media from gutsche.etsy.com. It is titled "Imagine" and very well titled I must add. It is thought-provoking and does make you imagine and escape into a world of beauty. One thing that I really like about it are the different textures and layers. What does everyone else think? Nice work!

This is a glicee three print set of original mixed media collage and paintings. It makes me think of interior design. Stephanie, are you an interior designer? I love the freshness and crispness these prints convey. They would make a lovely addition to any 'green' family because it also makes me think of plants, fruits and vegetables. Just an idea....

Beautiful! Thanks Stephanie!
