Bonnie's ACEO Project Update

I first want to say Thank You to everyone who has responded, donated and loved their new ACEO original artwork.

This is a project that I started in Feb. 2013, to help raise funds for 

BASE CAMP Children's Cancer Foundation.

BASE CAMP is a central Florida non profit that has been serving children affected by cancer for 30 years.  Terri Jones program began in 1982, and focus on helping the entire family through this journey. 

When I was introduced to this foundation, I knew it was a perfect fit for me. I was looking to pay it forward. Unfortunately Cancer has run in my family, so we have always given to the various foundations. BASE CAMP being in my own backyard. I wanted to help out the local kids and families in need. 

So, what you can do ... Simple

Send a Self Addressed envelope along with $2.00 and your favorite Motivational Word.

I will create an ACEO original artwork with the word of your choice, and mail it back to you in the self addressed envelope you provided. Only one word per envelope. There is no limit on how many ACEO cards you would like.  

All the Cards are numbered, and one day may become a book with just the image of the ACEO card and their number.

Here are a few that have already been done and mailed.

Bonnie’s ACEO Project for a Cause

It’s been a little over seven years since I lost my dad. Growing up; I have always tried to give to charities. One of the main ones, we gave to was Leukemia because my grandmother (my dads mom) passed from, when I was two.  She was only 52. My mom is also a survivor from that big C. For many years, the ORT Foundation was a charity my mom worked for and she still gives too. Plus my mom also crochets baby blankets for Project Linus. So I have always given, when I can to the big charities. When my dad passed at the young age of 72, we gave to Hospice. Now all those charities are great and are always in need, but I wanted to do something for a foundation in my own backyard. What I found was a foundation that not only deals with that big C, it also helps children and their families.

Lately I have been thinking of how I can do something for others with my ART.

In an art show I was set up in last week, one of the other artists had these small pieces of art she called ACEO’s tacked up on the wall.  I was curious; and after asking “what are these ACEO’s?” , she sort of explained. I was still perplexed and inspired at the same time. I was already doing small art, but they were magnets.

Then early Monday morning I was watching The Jeff Probst Show and he had this gal on who created happiness with a handwritten note, leaving them for strangers. I also thought why can’t I make people happy with an original piece of artwork.

So what if you need an explanation, you Google it, right? That’s what I did …. ACEO is Art Cards Editions and Originals. This was a movement that started ten years ago on Ebay. They are a standard size trading card (two and one-half inches by three and one-half inches) The size is the only rule in creating one, you can use any medium and any surface desired.

What has also inspired me are Motivational Words. Everyone has seen these in all sorts of ways, from posters to rocks and on and on… What I have done over the past few year’s, is to put words on wearable art, recycled art and high end art.

Now to explain my ACEO Project….

Choose a motivational word that you would want turned into art.
Mail me your word along with a 

self addressed stamped envelope and $2.00.

MYSTICAL - New Series by Bonnie Sprung

Here is an update on my new series called MYSTICAL.

For the past year I've been creating Tie-Dye T-shirts in the untraditional way.

Taking black shirts and using a bleach and water spray,

along with stencils I have cut out of acetate. 

Then finishing the design with dimensional textile paint.

Then out of doing these cool one of a kind wearable art shirts,

came the thought of why not take the same technique and 

apply it to wall art. The only difference would be the black material used. 

This series can be seen in person on  

Friday, February 1, 2013 at FAVO 

(Faith Arts Village Orlando) from 5-9pm. 

221 E. Colonial Dr., Orlando, FL.

Here are a few images:

"Copper Dragon"

"Golden Star"

 

"Leap"

"Dragon Warming Water"

"Star Dance"

"Stalking Red"

This series will also be available at

Can You See CARE

"Can You See CARE" is the title of my latest painting for my 

Watery Landscape - Hidden Word Series. 

This series was started back in 2010 and already has been showcased in two solo gallery shows. You can see images on some earlier posts.

"Can You See CARE" by Bonnie Sprung

This painting is 25" x 28" in size.

All originals are for sale. Prices available on request.

Prints on all my paintings are also available. Some are located on my ETSY shop.

To explain the series... Each painting has a hidden word. Some are easy to see, some take a bit longer. The way the trees, leaves and plants are placed create a letter, thus creating a word. Each word is a motivational type word. 

I hope you are enjoying my series. If you have a word in mind that I haven't painted yet, Please let me know. Thanks.

Bonnie :)

Custom Purple Doodle Tshirt

I originally did this fun Purple Doodle Tshirt in a size Large. Then someone wanted one like it, but in a 2X Large. That was going to be a bit of a challenge but not impossible. The reason why is every shirt that I hand dye can never really be duplicated exactly but very close. This Tshirt had more of a challenge to it. It was layered in several colors of spatter. That's right I said spatter. I may tie some parts but I also like to just spatter. 

After I have dyed the shirt to my liking and did all the finishing spatter touches. The shirt is then heat set after it has hung dry. If I put it in the dryer when it's still wet, it may shrink. So I only put it in the dryer for a quick tumble when the shirt has already dried. That way the material is then nice and soft. The customer is also informed to only wash the Tshirt in cold water and hang dry.

Back of white V neck Tshirt after hand dying.

After I have dyed the Tshirt, then an added layer is hand drawn on. Using the Slick Textile paints. The squeeze bottle makes it easy to draw with. The first time I did this shirt, I just started to doodle. I had no real design plan or where it was going. I just started to doodle. After awhile it started to take shape and I knew how I was going to finish the look of it. Then I got an order to recreate it. Once again it was not exact but the shape was pretty close and the doodles, well they are just that. I did put in the same words and little peace and heart symbols, that I did on the original. Here are some photos as I doodled.

This was the finished front until I added a little bit more on the edge.

This is the finished back of the shirt

Here's the finished Tshirt. You may notice that I signed my name. I do that on all my Tshirts. Because every shirt I do is a one of a kind Original Tshirt. Even if I'm recreating a look. As I mentioned before, I can copy the look, but since it's not exact, it's still an Original. 

 If you would like to see more of my Tshirts. Got to my ETSY shop where you can see more of my original designs. Just like I did with this shirt -- you may see a design, but not in your size, just let me know and I will create your own custom original. Have an idea... colors, certain design, wording, etc.. I'll be happy to create your one of a kind original. 

Remember you are not just wearing a cool Tshirt, you are wearing ART.

Depending on size and detail of shirt, prices may vary.

In my shop you will also find Original Fine Art, Scarves and Prints.

Past Portraits by Bonnie Sprung

Here are some images of portraits I have painted long ago, 

back in the early 1980's.

I like to work from photos. 

If I can take the photo myself it's even better.

"Carolyn & Mickey Sprung"

This is an oil painting of my parents wedding photo.

I painted this for their 25th Wedding Anniversary.

"Bell"

This is my Grandmother Bell.... my Dad's Mom.

I've always had a strong connection to her, 

even though she passed away when I was only 2 yrs. old.

"Emmett Kelly"

Here is a time when I was really into clowns. I still love them, 

but I used to enjoy painting them. 

This oil painting was done from photos I found. 

Then Circus World opened and I was super happy. 

I would go often with camera in hand. 

The oil painting below is one that I created from the photos I took.

"Circus World Clowns"

 Like any artist my work has gone through several changes.

I thought it would be fun to post some of the paintings

that still hang in my parents home.

More recent portraits I have painted was for a 

theatrical production of “The Secret Garden” 

at Merritt Island High School. 

These were very large and airbrushed on a shark-tooth scrim.
