Mixed Media Paintings, Assemblages, Shrines and Fabric Collages
	Charlotte's Song: Frozen Charlotte Fabric Collage \| $48 This hanging fabric collage is both hand and machine stitched and measures 3" wide and about 6.5" tall including wire hanger and recycled silk/crocheted bottom. An altered crackle-covered 2.5" Frozen Charlotte doll with a dark human-like heart sits upon aged and coffee stained fabrics, crocheted lace and fibers. View the details below to see the vintage sheet music on the sides of the piece. All embellishments have been rusted/aged by me. View details: one \| two \| three

	Charlotte Sometimes Assemblage/Collage \| $108 I have only named this "Charlotte Sometimes" as after the third piece in this series, that song (by the Cure) has seriously gotten stuck in my head. You can call her whatever you wish. A sweet Frozen Charlotte (measuring over 4" tall) with a human-like heart adorns this 5" x 5" painted and collaged canvas. Recycled Sari silk ribbons, vintage lace and a dyed freshwater pearl go through the middle and rusted taxidermy tacks hold them to the canvases edge. Vintage lace, painted, rim the sides of the canvas and a pretty little bead and chain tassel hangs from the bottom. View details: one \| two \| three \| four

	Daisy: Paper and Fabric Collage \| $65 Daisy picking daisies. I know -- the title isn't very creative, but I just love this gal! I think of her as my great grandmother Daisy. This piece measures 5.25" x 10.5" and is made from vintage upholstery fabric, vintage lace and silk, a 1940s mother of pearl button, freshwater pearls and lots of other bits and pieces. I love how stitch paper looks, especially after the edges have been burned (yes, I made the worn and torn edges that way on purpose). There is an optional wire hanger on back if you opt not to use the fabric one on top. View details: one \| two \| three \| four

	Charlotte's Song #2: Song of the Sea \| $42 I had so much fun making the first Charlotte's Song piece that I've decided to do a huge series -- I'm shooting for 100. This one is called "Song of the Sea: and is adorn with tiny sea shells, crystal beads, vintage fabrics, trims and lace. The sheet music on the side of this piece is from 1902 -- over a 100 years old just like the Charlotte herself. She measures 3.5" by about 7". View details: one \| two

	Charlotte's Song #3 \| $47 Despite her lack of bright colors, this little gal reminds me of a spring garden for some reason. She is made from vintage upholstery fabric, vintage sheer dress material, vintage lace and some fantastic old-looking new fiber, vintage beads and of course a lovely rusted metal flower embellishment. The sheet music on the sides of the piece are from 1902 -- it wouldn't be Charlotte's Song without the music. She measures 3.75" x 8" including hanger. View details: one \| two

	Charlotte's Song #4: Fleur de Lis \| $52 I found this fleur de lis button at an antique shop a couple of days ago and KNEW it just had to go on my next Charlotte piece -- so here it is. Like her sisters, she is made from vintage fabrics and lace, and 1902 sheet music. She is a bit different in that she doesn't have a wee anatomical heart, but she's just as loving none the less. Her measurements are 3.5" x 6" including hanger. View details: one \| two

Fabric Covered Journals and Handmade Books
	Anatomical Heart Art Journal \| $85 Adorned with a classic coffee stained "Alicia" blooming anatomical heart, this hardback fabric collage covered journal measures 7"x9" and has a recycled Sari silk tie closure. The art journal/sketchbook has archival-quality acid free drawing paper; 208 perforated pages. The back cover has a pocket for secret notes or photos. View details: one \| two \| three \| four

	Alice in Wonderland Blank Journal/Sketchbook \| $48 This blank spiral-bound sketch journal measures approximately 5" x 7" and is adorned with a transfer image of my original Alice in Wonderland piece entitled "Drink Me" and many coffee stained fabrics, laces and trims. Under the skirt, as naughty as that may sound, is a little pocket to keep your secret notes in (I promise I won't tell). The back cover contains an additional pocket. Gift wrapping available.

	Anatomical/Fertile Art Journal \| $52 Fertile thoughts? Fertile mind? Write or art it in here. Or, use as a pregnancy or "trying to get pregnant" journal. This anatomical pregnancy illustration is one of my favorites! The hardback journal measures 7" x 9" and has archival-quality acid free drawing paper; 208 perforated pages. This fabric collaged cover is removable and can be put onto another journal once you fill this one up if you'd like. Photos of the back pocket coming soon -- they were fuzzy (sorry).

	Leaf Blank Journal/Sketchbook \| $28 This is a simple but sweet nature inspired blank journal/sketchbook measuring approximately 5"x7". All fabrics used are vintage and or salvaged -- the leaf itself being from a vintage silk dress. It is spiral bound and although I think the spiral should go on the top, you could change the orientation to use it horizontally if you desire. The pages are somewhat thick -- perfect for a sketchbook or writing or art journal. If you wish this to be coffee stained such as my other journals, I will gladly do so -- just let me know in a Pay pal note or email. View detail here >>

Hand and machine sewn, with two small snaps for a closure. View detail here >> and whole cuff here >>
