In the early 90's when I was still making cloth dolls, I met a woman at one of my shows who fell in love with one of my 'Moon Dolls'. I fell in love with this womans top - a wonderful hand-made 'Gypsy-style' blouse, so we decided to do a trade. The best part was that she let me choose exactly which fabrics I wanted to use. I started with an old piece of turn of the century embroidery (front of top) that had a black background, and let that dictate the rest of the color scheme... It was wonderful to pick so many different fabrics and know that they would all combine into one garment. She did a lovely job assembling them, including making the front different from the back and sewing the piece, and its a favorite 'celebration' piece of mine. The moon doll she chose was much more muted, with a vintage embroidered silk outfit and silk accents. We were both very happy and pleased - two gypsies bartering for beauty...




While I am in a Gypsy vain, I thought I'd share these boots that I embellished a number of years ago. I found the tri-colored boots at a thrift store, for $5.00! Don't you just love the Red lining? They are 2 sizes larger then mine, but who cares, you can just wear lots of socks - right??? Well, I felt they needed MORE! So I went through my ribbon pile and picked out my brightest and widest... Then I glued them on with fabric glue, and stitched through all the layers on my sewing machine (not an easy thing to do, and you need 'leather' needles!). But I love the results - Anthropologie watch out...

After an intense hour of cutting tiny little squares of red mirrored glass we layered 'Epoxy-Sculpt', a new medium to me, on the outside of the gourds and then embellished them with the red glass bits and charms, following with a liberal sprinkling of teeny tiny (hole-less) beads in gold and black. No easy task, as these little beads have a mind of their own, and want to go EVERYWHERE!!! See photo of Lea deftly applying beads to her ladybug edges..

Interestingly Lea and I chose different colored tiny beads and gold paint, so our bugs look very different. Lea's gold beads were a little larger then mine, which gave them a super-tactile look, and her gold color a little brighter.

My Itsy-bitsy beads were darker in color but much smaller, (we used both gold and black beads on the base) which gave an entirely different look!

this fabulous fold out paper theatre! My photos don't begin to give it justice, with scenes out of a Napoleonic fairy tale, one look through the little hole and you are completely transported!

Legacy in a family, is something to cherish and hold gently. I am daily surrounded by my families female legacy as I create and push forward in my own art. I was fortunate to receive a profound legacy from my Mother last year, when she gave me her 'Porcelain Painting' box, kiln and supplies. Ever since I can remember, the sight and smell of this box, has been like magic to me, and I always knew that someday, one day I would create with this box of enchantment too.
