Bouquet of
orchids in a vase.
24 x 37"
Mixed Media: Silk (flowers); fabric (table cloth); cardboard (window
and table); photo image (vase); acrylic. This is 3D mixed media
collage in a board.
This work was awarded with a red ribbon on a class “ In the style of Matisse” For my Mixed Media works I am using the same technique I have successfully developed for producing hand made greeting cards - 3D mixed media collage. www.amazzzingcards.com The technology for this work: 1. Background (the sky and the greens outside of window; the wall to which the table is leaning against) was painted (acrylic) 2. Pieces of cardboard for the window and the table (a piece of cardboard with fabric stuck on it as a tablecloth) were taped to the background. 3. Previously designed by computer and then printed image of the vase was shaped and taped to the table. 4. The frame of bouquet was made of pre-crimping sprigs of bushes. 5. For some orchids are used silk flowers. The pattern of orchid was made for other flowers. 6. Pieces of silk of different colors were lubricated by starch paste, allowed to dry and ironed. Then of them were made flowers, which were attached to the frame of the bouquet. Silk leaves were also attached to the bouquet. 7. A piece of silk was tacked around the vase as an additional decoration 8. Final painting was made: the curtain, the picture's frame sides and additional touch-ups 9. The paverpol media and somewhere varnish was used to seal all components.
