Shabby Trinket Box

April 16, 2021

Sharing this little box from the 2011 Archives.

The little wooden box was painted and text paper was inserted on the cover. There are tags, butterflies, and a charm taking center stage. In each of the corners I added silver photo corners and lace trim was added to the edge.

I hope you are enjoying spring whatever part of the world you are in and staying safe!

Petite Dress Canvas

April 14, 2021

From the 2012 Art Archives…

Who can resist a bit of Haute Couture? These little dresses are delicate and frilly. They have been mounted on an altered canvas and oh la la…you have something tres chic.

You can create your dresses using fabrics or pattern papers and make them as fancy schmancy as you wish. The color combinations and embellishments are endless. I promise you will become a designer fashionista once you try making just one!

Spring Fairy Jar

March 9, 2021

The birds are chirping, the temperatures are lovely, and the sun is shining. Spring is near and I will be grateful for longer days coming soon too! Today, I was able to get in the studio this morning and create two fairy jars. This is one of them. I still need to add some peasant feathers to my assemblage. Still debating on painting the lid as well.

The moss was actually found at Dollar Tree and it has little bits of bark and a pinecone as well. It was also my first time working with real quail eggs. So fun and fragile. I hope you are enjoying the coming of spring in your little corner of the world!

Christmas Pocket Canvas

December 10, 2020

Sharing this Christmas themed pocket canvas from the archives today. This has a combination of fabrics, laces, sewn images, old sheet music, paint, seam binding ribbon, and a pocket filled with snowflakes, trees, and shred paper. The entire assemblage was created on a “flat” canvas.

I have been trying to keep the Christmas spirit going here on my blog, even though I have not been able to create much. This is why so many pieces are from my “archives” but it is fun to re-visit the art again. I hope you enjoy it too!
