A performance of...

Un Joyeux Noel

  

 Salvage materials are collected and stored away until they call out to become an opulent decayed rustic French theatres of performances.

 

Trim and woodwork is a collection of old antique and vintage woods...
moldings, picture frames, French mirror frame pieces salvaged and desired.
Chair spindles, and furniture legs act as columns, 
drawer pull knobs act as cement finials.

 vintage oak for wood planked floors, and wire for my hand twisted chandeliers, 
ladders, and crowns. Wire is also used to create a body form for the creating 
of cartapesta mice.

 

Cartapesta Mouse

 

My latest addition to my French theatre is my art in creating

cartapesta mice, along with the creation of her tattered decayed old dress.

A pendant necklace studded with a gem, and her gem stone wire crown

that wraps around her sweet French head.

She goes by the French name of (Astrid)

Astrid is in the middle of her performance of

Douce Nuit - Silent Night, and performed in French opera.

 

My art in hand painting

Her patina is hand applied and gilded with aged gold.

 

The art of French wire-work, I bend and shape into chandeliers, ladders, and

body forms for cartapesta mice and crowns.

Aged banners add a bit of theatrical whimsy strung about.

 

French Rococo

French weathered old books created by my French hands.

Stained to appear old.

 

I create paper doll mice, they have come baring gifts and to be entertained

in a holiday performance this Joyeux Noel.

 

 Librairie Francaise

(French Book Shop)

An old decayed French shop.

 With cartapesta and salvage wood I created a French book shop of

theatrics where French and English language books of many can be found.

Seventeen hand-made books I created with vintage book ephemera and

cloth aged and water damage to give the appearance of an old dusty

book sellers shop in France.

Madam Colette tends to her old French shop.

Books are piled in  the attic, and hog warted in the book case.

 Old music books and travel books are some of her book selections

she has for holiday shoppers. The beauty in an old book,

a perfect gifting.

 

The attic is filled, and the charm of rustic decayed flooring and
walls show its age.

Happy New Year!
