New Jewelry!!


Hello fellow bloggers,

Here is the latest selection of fun and fancy jewelry to feast your eyes upon... Enjoy!


The 'Tea for Two' necklace is inspired by the fabulous Edies of the film Grey Gardens.
Definitely check out this amazing feature if you haven't already and you will surely be inspired to sport a unique piece of art such as this!
Drink up for $65






The 'Golden Bow Tie' necklace is an easy way to add some flare to any outfit. Since this little dandy is cropped close to the neckline it works with most tops and isn't too distracting.
Enjoy this beauty at $15


Not a gold wearer? Try on the 'Silver Bow Tie' necklace...
It's even got a brooch clip on the back to secure wherever you wish!
Tie it on for $15




'These Keys' necklace is a gorgeous little number made from vintage skull keys!
Their gold enamel gives the keys a little shine for the eye and the whole thing clinks with a light, fairy-like twinkle when you move.
Delightful for $22!




The 'Key Duo' Earrings are light enough to wear in the every day and matches perfectly with the "These Keys" necklace!
Enjoy at $8




This hand crochet wire bracelet, called 'Daisy's Round' is an elegant addition to really any outfit. Easy to wear and versatile with the ribbons woven through (below), it makes for a great conversation piece.
Lovely for $35



Thanks for checking in and I hope your week is filled with tea cakes and
blueberry tarts!

UPDATE!


Hey everyone,

It's been waaay too long since I last posted I know!! But I have been so busy with various projects recently and wanted to finally share them with you.

The first project that I've been working on is called Art Meets Fashion. It's basically a collaborative art experience including a fashion designer (me), an artist (Valentine Viannay), a teacher (Robin Przybysz), and a documenter (Jeffrey R. Brosbe).

Our theme is the progression from the apocalypse to enlightenment in five stages... Check out the website here for more info!

We have been meeting and working on our collection for about 8 months now and it is almost complete!! Here are some photos of our progress and check out the website for more info on show dates and such....


Drawing of Ash Lady, the first stage of the apocalypse...



Draping for Mud Lady, stage two and beginning of the rebirth!


Draping for the vest for Mud Lady.


Seed Lady sketches and fabric shots...

Here is the video of our group working together and some of the pieces in the making:

I'd like to keep you all up to date on the happenings and progression of this project by posting up more photos and inspirational images as we get closer to the show dates so stay tuned for more info in the coming months!



Ok, so the OTHER project I'm working on is a wedding for a friend. She contacted me a few months ago about making 5 bridesmaid dresses for her wedding in February and I gladly accepted! She sent me a photo of a vintage dress that she wanted replicated so I whipped up a pattern and made a sample and the rest is history!

This is the vintage dress:




Here is a photo of four of the finished dresses:


The front of the dresses has a boat neckline and it is sleeveless, and then the back brings all of the dresses together with a green lapel which folds over revealing a little skin on the wearer... I love how unexpected this element of the dress is and it's so vintage inspired!!


I even made a tie for the event!

Thanks for checking the blog I'm very excited to share my work with you all! If you have any questions about custom designs I am always happy to hear from you : )
