Framed Dragonfly art, mixed media, Vintage Flowers, Pearls, French romantic

Framed Dragonfly art, mixed media, Vintage Flowers, Pearls, French romantic/cottage/shabby chic/ farm house decor by Kathy Morton Stanion This beautiful piece is a multi layered, very dimensional piece. I found this wonderful old rusted dragonfly piece and created this art piece around it. The Frame is a vintage frame that I hand mixed the paint for the special texture and old vintage white color. I then lightly distressed it for a french romantic/cottage/shabby chic/ farm house decor feel. The background is an original mixed media collage that contains antique gospel hymn book pages from the 1800's, pages from an antique bible, butterflies and other vintage materials. It was then painted with mixed media, distressed, and then sealed with varnish for protection from UV light and dust. I added touches of white on the dragonfly and then added the faux pearls and beautiful vintage flowers. A very unique and One-of-a-kind piece. I put a dust cover on the back and signed both the back and front. It comes to you ready to hang. Unfortunately I could not take the pictures without getting the shine of the varnish. Please note that the background is not as shinny as it appears. • Measures•• 17 3/4" x 15 3/4" (Overall with frame) x 2 1/2" with flowers. • Materials•• Mixed media, coated with a varnish, no glass required. • Artist hand signed on front & back • Interior views may not be to scale.
