While traipsing around blogs I stumbled upon this very clever artist! The Gilded Bee! I LOVE book print flowers and she does them so well. The above assemblage is just so sweet using such simple supplies!
You can almost see these little guys springing up in an imaginary garden.
Stop by and check out her work. She has an Etsy link on her page to peek at more from her imagination!
I had the sweetest request for a trunk a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to share.
This little trunk was created for a very special person with the attention to detail to honor the beloved contents!
For a dear lady who loved whimsy and clearly had a reputation for being unique.
With a love of reading, the ocean, purple, green, and teal and various other things this trunk was specially crafted.
The roses are created from book print applied to muslin, a kiss of pale pink ends and painted cotton leaves.
I have been a little MIA! I've been working on some new ideas and have been distracted.
I would like to share my daughters' Girl in the Black Mask photo shoot with you! My little Muses in black masks are my daughters, Caisee and Ashlind.
so fun!
When I crafted the little stars from clay, I pressed a texture into them and slightly distressed them for a vintage look. They're held on by little golden beads.
The main color is a sort of water blue... one of my favorite colors. I attach signature labels to the back.
I originally had a different weave pattern in mind but while talking to my son about Faberge Eggs, I noticed on the cover of my Faberge Egg book, this pattern would work better. Each satin weave is hand stitched.
Now...the driving thought behind this design is this: This nation sprang forth from the wilderness due to the efforts of very brave men and women that had a vision for freedom. The Forget-Me-Not flowers are created for this design also for a very specific reason...to remind us NOT to forget our heritage.
Garnets & Filigree Fiber Art Elfin Stockings! This little number was fun to do. I definitely had to fashion a leather thimble for all the hand stitching...wow...I thought it would never end seeing that I made 4 large ones and 2 small stockings. Lovely shades of garnet to pink reclaimed and upcycled wool is used.
Ok...so the French still have it on some of the most established beautiful quality in this ribbon! I collected and studied vintage apparel when I was younger and what astounds me is that the French ribbon created today is so very similar to that of so long ago! A truly wonderful find!
I fashioned a rolled edge stitched with gold on this shimmery pleated collar.
I mixed vintage and new iridescent sew on crystals for the random twinkle...yeh...gotta have that right?
This little sweety is a lovely accent for a smaller display or as a drop pocket for goodies from a gift. I did that one year for my children. I have themes every year. This year will be an ephemera year...paper..paper..paper, everything paper.
