Joan of Arc

This is a commission piece client wanted a Joan of Arc christmas tree topper. The fabric painted with a hand made stamp and then additional color is added to the fleur de lis with a blue pencil. I found this great silver and gold pleather for the upper body. Her face is an alter photo that is then color with pastel and colored pencils. the armour on her head is hand crocheted silver thread.

Custom Christmas Tree Topper



This Christmas tree topper was created by a customers request. He like the pink and gold angel but asked for something that had an asian theme. the dress and wings are hand embroidered. I created the sticks in her hair by taking skewers cutting painting and cover with clear nail polish to create a shine. then I glued on gold thread with beads attached.

Christmas Exchange



This doll was created for our clubs christmas exchange. I did the colors specifically in mind for Colleen. I really like how the face turned out. I altered a photo of the mona lisa and this is how it turned out. I like it really goes with the colors. You can't see but her body and wings have a lot of hand embroidery.

Bett's postcard







I was thinking of John Singer Sargent when I did this postcard. The Picture on the postcard part is of Notre Dame from the river. I really liked the material I used for this card and the colors.
