I did it again:)
Days and hours of work (but how joyful moments they were!), tons of rubbish, paint, embellishments and pure creative pleasure - and here she is - "Queen of Hearts" another big collage that was waiting in a row to come to life. I like the moment when I put the paintbrush back in the bucket and I can say - I'm done... but I love the process of creating even more!
This time the colors meant to be more feminine, soft, but not without a bit of "industrial coldness", with a lot of shining gold on the top. The photo was chosen long, long ago, when I had the first idea of creating this piece - I really kept this "baby" in my head for months!
I wanted to get the balance of colors and texture, rich look without feeling of being too heavy - and I hope I succeeded! Details are very dimensional and taking good photos of them was almost impossible :( I can only promise you it looks better in real life...
Again I think I'm close to industrial art, cyberpunk art or artistic upcycling but I'm sure you will find a lot of elements that would classify this piece as steampunk collage- with a bit of spiritual feeling. Are the names really important? The finished piece should speak by itself - and I hope this one can touch some strings in your souls... I'd love to hear what you think about my "Queen". Can you please share what comes to your mind? Thanks in advance!
This pile of painted rubbish could only change into collage with a big help of my amazing friends, fans and companies from all over the world :) I'm a collector - I know, but hey - I can't gather THAT much without support, right?
Huge thanks to: my Dad, Linda Brun, Drycha, Rae Cooper (and Scrap Mratix), Wendy Vecchi, Agnieszka Barska (Aniees) and my sweet students from Warsaw, France and USA. Thanks to your gifts, shared collections and open hearts I can create without hesitation as use as much as I need! You are just the best, guys!
Special thanks to Prima Marketing - for the best flowers ever made and releasing my metal embellishments included in this piece - Mechanicals. Prima stencils and Ingvild's Shabby Chic Treasures (birds) are also a very important part of this project! Huge thanks to Luminarte - for possibility to play with the most amazing color palette ever (Primary Elements and Silks ROCK my world!!!)!
Other supplies: Ranger: Dylussion Sprays, Glossy Accents. Tim Holtz: metal embellishments (crown, keyhole), gel medium, heavy gel medium, black acrylic paint, gesso, fixative.
And... now is your turn, please leave me a comment and share - what comes to your mind, please!
Thanks... and see you soon in USA and Canada!
BTW: Those of you who are attending CHA show in Las Vegas may meet me and the "Queen" somewhere around Prima booth - see you there!

So sad I can't come to your classes in NYC - would have loved to taken your Spellbook class. Hope everyone who does attend has a great experience.

Marie-Anne
My first impression - GLORIOUS! I want to look at this every day. I haven't had time to study all the many details but I will. Of course we want to give you goodies if this is what happens - no comparison - living in a box or as a part of a beautiful piece of art.
Have a great trip, Anna!
Marjan
wow--amazing
Breathless! It took my breath away!
Wow, what an amazing project, so inspiring and just brilliant. Elaine x
I am blown away and my jar has fallen , I can not speak at all
Powalająca praca! Gratuluję!
Wspaniały.
Your Queen is a piece of art that makes me happy, smile, love mixed media! I've been collecting and dismantling several electronic devices to try and find some treasures, but I can see that I will need some help from friends too, otherwise I'll be 80 until I can start such a project! YOU INSPIRE ME! Thank you for sharing your Queen of Art with a capital A!
OH! WOW! une oeuvre d'art!
What comes to my mind is, you promise it looks better in real life. I think how can it? It is jaw droppingly inventive. Unique & the colour, the colour is divine. You really do need a gallery
She is stunning - from the voluptuous folds of her zipped and computer chip skirt to the glowing rays emanating from her glorious heart to the fabulous arrangement of her "hair" - simply spectacular.
Alison x
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
QUESTION: Is this a photo of you in a dress that you have "dressed" up??
LOVE the use of the zippers! This is a piece of art work that can be studied for hours and then some! LOVE!
Meant to say that I would LOVE to sometime be able to take one of these sort of classes with you! LOVE your work so much! You are such an inspiration with your work!
Thank you so much, guys... you melt my heart!
Vicky - no. I used only photo of my face, all the dress is build from the beginning .
Well, it is just absolutely stunning work! I've been collecting "stuff" so that I can do one of these.....one of these days, LOL! It will probably never happen in this lifetime! :D
Absolutely stunning!
Vicky - just go for it! Start :)
My heart is beating FAST just thinking about it, LOL!
This is truly spectacular and stunning beyond words!! I so love your work and I would give anything to know even the slightest how to do some of what you do!! I would love to take a class with you but sadly none anywhere near good ole Ohio!! You are an inspiration to us all and I enjoy all your work so much! Thnx this is by far I think my most fav of all.....so far!!! Someday I hope to learn to layer and do some of the color choices you do!! Thnx for sharing your work!
это что-то невероятное!Анна, сложно представить, что это сделано руками!вы изумительный художник!
This is magical as are all of your collage pieces. Your ability to turn mundane objects into such beautiful presentations is amazing.
This is a true master piece! it is so powerful, so beautiful! It inspires me to create my own piece with collected findings.I am in love with this piece! Just fabulous!
I'm always amazed when I see your creations! Every little bit is it's own part but you put it together and it makes this fabulous picture! Genius!
I've been staring at your queen for ages....absolutely beautiful Ania, she is yet another masterpiece. She speaks to ones soul xxx
OMG!!! Fabulously awesome! You are SO creative!!
you can call it whatever you like...it is simply amazing. so beautiful, so much detail. simply stunning.
To say this is amazing is an understatement, the dimension with those stunning layers of bits and pieces lovingly layered leaves me in awe of your work. I LOVE it.
My first tought is Divine, then beautiful. And I sure can see the spirituality in here, your colors are such a proove to that. And the image is so right for this masterpiece. And what you did to her heart- Awesome.
This is so beautiful, so I can really imagine how great it has to be in real.
Thanks for giving us this beautiful art piece to study and just admire.
This one I will come back to. I just have to study these awesome details.
I really admire your work, you are such an inspiration.
Thanks :-)
Stunning!!!!
stunning, devine, masterpiece, awesome - all these words have been used to describe your Queen of Hearts and they are so right. She Rocks!!!! You are an incredible artist. Thanks so much for sharing and giving us the inspiration to try different things :)
Holy cow - what a stunning piece! My compliments to your extraordinary imagination!
Super! I love it!!!!
it's just fantastic! unmatched beautiful and interesting work!
Oh my god! I fainted!...this space!
Magnifique... beautiful...
What a work! When I see all these tiny things assembled together to get such a beautiful creation, wow!!!!
cudo! tyle smaczków, detali, skarbów. i kolory które pozwalają co chwilę na nowo odkrywać nowe obszary pracy :)
i czy dobrze wypatrzyłam cosie z prodziża? ;)
pozdrawiam serdecznie!
agnieszka
Fantastic work. Your work is magical and inspiring. I believe you have started your own new art movement - Industrial Romance Art.
Thank you so much friends! You make me really happy! Agnieszko co za oko! Zgadza się w 100%! Prodiż!
Gorgeous! Would you take into consideration to bring the Qeen to ProzArt? I would love to see it live!
Beautiful work! Amazing how perfectly these embellishments fit together. You did awesome! BTW where do you even find this many wonderful embellishments?
This is incredible! You have outdone yourself, lady! Very cool!!
Annia I think is your best piece yet!
Nothing short of astounding! Just stunning! Can't wait to meet you tomorrow in NYC - both classes for me. Yeah!!! :)
piękny....
Looking forward to Vegas to see the piece in person!
Stunning artwork!
Znów wpadam w zachwyt i nisko się kłaniam:)
another look at this gorgeous Queen! I've printed it so I can show my colleagues which findings I need :-), my colleague (who's not into crafting) said it is SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!! :-), really glad I've booked so many classes this year! really! big hug, Nancy
Anna, this piece defies words, simply amazing. There is so much texture and the colors work perfectly together. I CAN'T WAIT to take your class in August in Florida. Your artwork is wonderful!
Amazing! Fantastic! Love it! Can't wait to do your classes here in UK Nov 30 & Dec 1st!
Joan :)
Wow Anna you have done it again!!!! This is an incredible piece of art :). I love the whole grungy baroque feel to this piece.
Thanks for sharing this collage.
It's fantastic ...wow:)
Finn, this (and you!) are awesome and I bow down to your talents. Amazing!
Well, industrial baroque comes to my mind...but as you (clever!) say: the names are not important. You know well what is. Keep your hands on the material you are so friendly with, we all like to explore the sympathetic little details on your work - it´s like the little children favourite game: entertaning, surprising, funny and joyful...I like it! :)
Wow!!! This is amazing, I love it.
xxx Hazel.
impressionnant ! travail magnifique
vous êtes la reine du collage ;-)
corinne
Fantastically gorgeous piece. Can look at it for ages - so much to take in. In awe of your amazing talent. Have fun in USA .
Ah, these are the kind of pieces I was talking to you about in class, the ones I love the most! What I love about this piece is the combination of hard industrial elements and softer elements, like the flowers. Also the combination of colors in this piece is fabulous. Delicate, and yet still grungy. The tilt of her head and headpiece is particularly beautiful. And the balance you have achieved in the composition. (Hope you don't mind the long comment, lol, I could babble on forever!)
I think this is fantastic! I think you should have an exhibition in Dublin where I'm sure you could sell your industrial steampunk canvases if you use other images - perhaps famous people - politicians, etc...statement art!!
This piece is absolutely stunning! Can't begin to tell you how much I look forward to taking your classes in Langley, Canada next week. Safe travels.
Lovely piece. Soy creative and I'm sure pictures don't do it justice. Thank you for sharing.
OH MY GOD. Amazing
Just absolutely fantastic! Hopefully you get to come to Montreal or even better Quebec City when you travel to Canada! I would absolutely love to attend your classes!
Jaw dropping, eye popping beautiful.
Just truly beautiful so many details I could look at this for ages..
Sandy :)
Your work is truly amazing. Please come and teach us in South Africa! Pretty please!
Przepiękna praca!!! Niesamowita!
Dawno mnie nic tak nie zachwyciło!
Zapiera dech w piersiach :D
Stunning! She looks like a representation of you: a big heart, many layers revealed by the zippers, complex and oh the colors. Simply a masterpiece! Looking forward to taking your class at Scrapbook Island in a couple of weeks.
Wow! This is just beautiful-the color is gorgeous--all the little bits and pieces-just wonderful!
Wow! This is simply AMAZING Anna. It's everything you described. I'm awestruck.
This is beautiful, amazing, extraordinary, wonderful! Love, love, love, love it! Thanks for sharing this project with us!
Wow
jestem pod ogromnym wrażeniem
zachwyciłaś mnie
szczegóły - dobór elementów - kolory - faktury - całość fantastyczne
There are multiple words to describe your piece, as many before me have left glowing compliments. However, I can only say that it was THE MOST FABULOUS piece in the Prima booth and the MOST stunning thing I saw all day. And thank you for talking our photo this afternoon at the entrance to the show. Lovely to meet you and your great Polish accent!!! Happy creating!
Oh my word, this is just super amazing, an incredible piece of art. I am so looking forward to meeting you in August in the UK. TFS.
hugs {brenda} x0x
fenomenalny, wyjątkowy,piękny !
Co ty powiedzieć - chylę czoła. Absolutnie niesamowita praca, nie mogę wyjść z podziwu!
She is beautiful and despite all the gears and the metal she has a kind of soft look, that I haven't seen in your works before.
It is beautiful and artistic! Standing ovation from me.
What a Magnificent piece of art. I too have fallen in love with it too Anna. I.m so looking forward to meeting you when I do your class in Glasgow on the 24th August. Till then Take Care. Hugs from Scotland Rita xxxxx
I have just one word for that piece: WOW!!!!!
You did it again ! One of a kind, stunning, inspiring and just georgous to look at. I would love to see it live. Your style is so unique. Loooooove it.
Just takes my breath away. If I put this much "stuff" on a canvas it would look like junk but with your talented touch it is truly art elevated to it's highest level. Would like to know, what size canvas you generally use? Keep up the inspiring work. Love it!
Mary
Amazingly beautiful! She looks confident in her plans with enough love to share and encourage others!
She is breathtaking, a sight to behold.
Sitting studying her I keep spying something else which grabs my attention.
Absolutely adore your use of the zipped fabric (if it is actually fabric).
Remarkable!
Wishes
Lynne
Your queen is a glorious mix of femininity, grunge, and nostalgia! I look forward to seeing more of your creations. *Thank you Carin Winkelman for sharing Finnabair's site with us!
Gobsmacked!!! WOW - was the first thing. She's beautiful xox
Hi
Simply stunningly, beautiful work of art and a love of beautiful objects.
I would love to see it for my self. Bit too far to travel as I live in the UK.
Your work opens my mind to lots of dimension and mediums. X
WOW, your work is so awsome and it inspires me every day ;o)
Greatings, Britta
One word. WOW!
This is really beautiful. Wish I could have seen it live in LV. I too have been collecting for years...maybe one day.
WOW! is what came to mind and all i could think was WOW!
This is so far beyond amazing, there are no words. We are inspired, and awed at your incredible talent! Thank you so much for sharing your work with the world!
At first I thought powerful, then I looked some more and believe her to be spiritually powerful....she has an Idian presence crossed with European sensibilities and she is (I have now earased two words I used to describe her as not being correct - amazing and cool)-- She is fascinating. A beautiful, and inspiring. Yummy goodness. I am such a fan!
This yet again is amazing, I can only thank my lucky stars I
found Luvlescrapping on youtube, and she in turn led me to you, I am trying a large canvas myself at the moment after playing your ideas on a small one just to see. And I cant wait, getting the material together is hard on a budget be I will get there and enjoy your day in Cork Ireland wish I could be in the class but maybe another time, good luck and keep doing what you do as you do it so well. love dedexx
Just found your amazing work but too late for your UK classes, maybe next time. Beautiful canvas.

I love your Queen of Hearts. She seems to be saying, I am strong and ready to face anything this life can give. My daughter is leaving for grad school and it reminded me of her. She's ready to take on a new adventure. I may have to use her picture and do my own strong young women off to grad school!
DianeD
Absolutely fantastic! I really love this piece
Hi,
You are such a great artist i have never seen yet before.such a beautiful Flowers creation.
