"Echinacea", an Original Collage / Painting / Assemblage, originally uploaded by sugarpinkrose.

This piece is my entry in the "Echinacea" "Flower of the Month" Show at EBSQ (http://www.ebsqart.com/ArtShows/cmd_76_Exhibition_Entries.htm), November 2005. It is a mixed media collage in an assemblage frame. Some of the elements include "woodsies", glass gems, cut up metallic spin paintings, my own hand painted/ hand dyed papers, and of course hand painted purple cone flowers. The resulting artwork is very shimmery and 3-dimensional.

The piece has been varnished with several layers of decoupage medium for protection. It has a sawtooth hanger on the back and is ready to hang.

Sold.

"Miss Congeniality", an Original Collage/Painting/Assemblage ~SOLD

"Miss Congeniality", an Original Collage/Painting/Assemblage, originally uploaded by sugarpinkrose.

This is an original miniature collage painting in an assemblage picture frame. The work incorporates dyes, lumiere metallic paints, artificial "silk" flowers, vintage buttons and Polymer resin tiles with more tiny flowers embedded inside. The frame was totally different until I altered it to become what you see here, although you can still see a bit of its original texture & decoration peeking through. There is a miniature spin painting on the top of the frame~ it is totally hand painted. The buttons and flowers were actually sewn by hand onto the collage with sewing thread; then the collage was attached to the frame with decoupage medium.

I would describe this piece as Contemporary, Modern, Abstract, Unique, "Girly", Feminine and Fun. Would be a fantastic decorative addition to your home, office, cubicle, or locker...would also make an incredible Christmas or holiday gift for the "Miss Congeniality" in your life.

SOLD, but I have lots of other original artwork for sale! Please visit my ebay store. Thanks for taking a look. :)

"Reinterpreting Autumn", an Original Collage Painting ~ Sold

"Reinterpreting Autumn", an Original Collage Painting, originally uploaded by sugarpinkrose.

This collage is made from a variety of original miniature spin paintings; each one was individually hand-painted. I collaged the pieces together on a piece of plain white bristol board to form the final composition you see here.

My background as a textile designer is definitely evident when you look at this piece; I am fascinated with patterns that repeat. However this piece is unlike any of my fabric designs considering that none of the elements are actually the same; the spirals are similar to each other yet completely different. The color palette was inspired by various upholstery fabric samples in my collection, and the colors are very interior-design-friendly.

Sold via ebay auction; please click here to view the auction listing and more details. Thanks for your interest!

"Citrus Scented Samba", an Original Collage Painting

"Citrus Scented Samba", an Original Collage Painting, originally uploaded by sugarpinkrose.

This piece is purely about the rich, vibrant colors and the geometry of the shapes as the colors interact. The first step in creating this piece was hand painting colorful dyes onto Strathmore Bristol Board. The dye paintings were created intuitively using abstract expressionist techniques. Then I used the hand dyed paintings as the base on which to create spin paintings using Lumiere Metallic Paints by Jacquard Products. Then I collaged the pieces together on a piece of plain white bristol board to form the final composition you see here.

The name was an afterthought, and I chose it because I think this art evokes feelings of hot summer in Rio, dancing to rhythmic music, and luschious tropical drinks with a squeeze of lime...

"Ticklish"

"Ticklish", originally uploaded by sugarpinkrose.

Original Framed Mixed Media Collage. This is the first in a series. The frame has an original spin painting done in metallic paints, plus hand cast resin tiles with little beads embedded inside. The collage is made from cut up spin paintings on hand dyed paper. There is lots of metallic paint as well, but you can't tell from the pictures~ my camera was having a hard time reproducing the shiny areas as shiny.
