Wales Wedding Follow Up

By Leave a Comment

I posted a piece about a fascinator I created for a client who was attending a wedding in Wales. 

I am now happy to report that she has contacted me to advise that her and her husband had an amazing time at the wedding and she received many compliments on her fascinator. She was also kind enough to send me and allow me to use a photo of her and her husband at the wedding for my website and portfolio.

Doesn’t she look fabulous?!?!  Also, check out the gentleman in the grey morning coat and top hat in the background.  Very dapper, indeed!

This super cute fascinator was made by me with the thought that it would be perfect for a burlesque performer and that is exactly who purchased it!  She is a lovely gal who performs with an Ottawa based burlesque troupe and is planning to wear it on stage, if she hasn’t already.
This was my first attempt at producing a three diimensional image from nothing to be placed on a hat and I was quite thrilled with the results.  Love the glitter and leopard print…..so burlesque and pin-up!
This was an exciting sale for me as one of my desires and goals is to create costumes and accessories for the stage. theatre and in my wildest dreams…movies!  There has been some mention of perhaps hiring me to design costuming and accessories for some of the troupe’s shows now that they have met me and seen my ideas and capabilities. They may even be interested in a rental arrangement for commissioned pieces from me.  Keep your fingers crossed for me…and toes for good measure.  I’ve never actually seen anyone who can cross their toes…anyone, anyone?

Beautiful Mess

By Leave a Comment

This artwork was inspired by something my pastor said.  In one of his messages, he said that God sees us as a “beautiful mess”.  This struck me, hard.  It mirrored how I feel sometimes.  I am a mess but, God views me as a beautiful mess.  I am dear and precious to Him no matter how much I have messed things up.

I had made the fairy wings as part of a costume for myself years ago and they were hanging on the wall of my studio collecting dust.  I purchased a canvas that I distressed a bit, printed out the lettering and mounted the wings to the canvas.  It hangs on a wall in my bedroom.  When I see it each morning as I start my day, it serves as a reminder to me of just how imperfect we are and yet how perfect we are in God’s eyes, faults and all. Thank you, God.

And thank you, Rob for giving me this insight and as a result, this piece of artwork to enjoy and receive hope from everyday.
