New Project on Patterns








This weekend I found myself drawn to patterns and architectural books. I am starting a new project today. I have put together a new journal that will soon be filled with inspiring patterns. My ideas have come from several architectural structures I found in this book called "India Sublime" as well as a book on tiles and patterns. I want this journal to be filled with rich colors and patterns from cover to cover. I plan to use these patterns later for other projects such as making a patchwork quilt out of paper squares reproduced from this journal. These are a few photos of the books that inspired me as well as a photo of my new very white, hungry for embellishments hand made journal that I made for this project.

Happy Valentines Day!!
These are little Valentines Mice made out of little white stones. I stuck felt hearts on them and then embelished them with bows and eyes. This is a fun Valentines Day craft for my daughter's second grade class!

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

Art Doll Mable

Art Doll Mable
Meet Mable, she's trying her best to keep her skin glowing. She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
