I used a lot of watch and radio parts in this piece, they helped "name" the piece."

The wooden tops were the inspiration for this piece
Wheee!
6 1/4" W x 14" H
I wanted to do something a little different with this piece. I thought it would be fun to have the pieces come off the panel a little more than usual.
Queenie

Bees, bees, bees, I love bees. I have done a number of bee pieces. This one is one of the smaller ones. This one went to someone in Australia, my first international sale!'!

The head piece was the inspiration for this piece. I thought the buttons and wing pieces complimented each other nicely."

This piece was a long time in the making. She went through many transitions. I started with the head, thinking that was going to be the piece. I had the box (body) for years and once I figured out how to attach the head piece everything else seemed to fall into place.
Man or Machine?
11"W x 14"H "The pieces that I used for the eyes and the white light bulb where the inspiration for this piece. Most of the pieces I used where put aside for other pieces but they all seem to come together to make this piece work.
Jen Hardwick is a stay at home mom and artist, living and creating in Seattle. She specializes in mixed media collages using a combination of new and recycled materials.
"I sort of stumbled into these collages by accident while preparing for my first art show in July 2011. I started putting together my love of paper, paint and all the things I've been collecting over the years and these were the end result!"
A lot of time and care go into creating each one and they are so much fun to make! They are an affordable piece of art for you or they make a truly unique gift!
