HMMM Shoes I think!

Next up in my world of Art I will be starting something that has to do with shoes. My sisters and I recently over the past few years have been buying each other a new pair of funky shoes for each other on our Birthdays. Well, my sister Miranda is turning 40 in a few weeks and I have an idea. Instead of actually getting her a pair of funky shoes I have decided to do a detailed illustration of a vintage shoe (maybe with a Marie Antoinette flare). I thought I might draw one of my ladies standing in the shoe dripping with all sorts of accessories that happen to be spilling over the edges of the shoe. That is my hope anyway. I also want to photograph it and make some note cards with it as well....how cute right!?!? My sister loves shoes, she has a closet full of them and this piece of art might last longer than an actual pair of shoes. I just want it to be special, after all she is turning the BIG "40"!!! I'll keep you posted on the progress!

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.
