Fabric Collages

Officially DONE with my 2008 Daily Breeze Project! This is a series of 366 (Leap Year) collages for the year 2008 (harder than it sounds!) These are all made from scraps that literally fell on the studio floor from larger fabric collage/banner projects I assembled. All are now scanned and ready for viewing. Many are autobiographical; some were made for friends. This project will be featured in SEW SOMERSET in Winter, 2009. Please watch for it.

Emma Roberts said, "I think every little girl's dream is to be a mermaid or see a mermaid." With this in mind, I create mermaid fabric collages and banners. Like my other fabric assemblages, they are formed from 100% fabrics, old and new, which are artfully combined and then sewn together by machine as a crazy quilt patchwork might be: raw edge applique. Naive / primitive style. I can create a personalized mermaid collage for you with a name, place, etc. Priced as marked.

All of my Fabric Collages are created using recycled materials such as vintage Hawaiian shirts and textiles. Each collage is behind glass, in a wooden frame, which has been painted in a shabby beach style using a compatible color to the collage. Collages are first designed, then machine-sewn as a crazy quilt patchwork might be. On the reverse of each collage, I list what each scrap of fabric came from, ie; men's Hawaiian shirt, old sundress, boys swim trunks, etc. Each is dated and numbered on reverse and signed on the front side. Collages have a Beach, Islands, or Hawaiiana theme. Collages sell for $1.50 per square inch (image size). Therefore, an 8 X 10" Collage sells for $120; a 11 X 14" Collage sells for $230, etc. Actual Priority Shipping to your zip code with Delivery Confirmation will be assessed at time of shipping (insurance optional).

The fabric collages in the COTTAGE series are based on my love for cottages, homes, family, children and gardens. Each collage is created using fabric snippets of this and pieces of that. Most often used are vintage fabric scraps, "cutter" textiles and embroideries, hankies, and assorted pieces from the past. I assemble the chosen pieces, creating a pleasing picture. After I am happy with my design, then I machine-sew the elements together, similar to how a crazy quilt is produced. Each collage is in a wooden frame behind glass. The frames are painted "shabbily" by me in a compatible colour. Each collage is signed on front. On the back is the "recipe" for each collage which lists where each snippet came from. Collages sell for $1.50 per square inch (image size); frame included. Therefore, an 8 X 10 collage sells for $120; an 11 X 14 collage sells for $230, etc. Buyer pays for actual Priority Shipping to their zone including Delivery Confirmation.

Bonny Banners are created from scrap fabrics used in my collage work. I have a lot of small pieces that no one else (but me) would have a use for. People are always giving me their scraps. I prefer these to yardage as I get tired of looking at too much of the same fabric for too long. These banners are machine-sewn as a crazy quilt patchwork might be. They come with a casing at top for a dowel to slide into (not included). Each is signed and dated. Please include $5.00 for Priority Shipping.

All elements are machine sewn as a crazy quilt patchwork might be, I often add doo-dads such as buttons, cracker jack toys, Scrabble letters, etc. Each is signed, dated and numbered by me with the MY BONNY Wearable Art Clothing label inside. Dry Clean Only. Email me for more specific details and macro-images.

These one-of-a-kind / recycled Assemblage Art pieces are not behind glass as my Fabric Collages are, because they are 3D. I incorporate found objects and materials to create a picture or theme. Most are on the silly / humorous side bringing out the funkiness in me! Actual shipping costs not included.
