"Just Not A Good Day Unless It Is A Creative One"


My latest created design,
botanic garden theatre, altar~shrine,
built from salvage woods. Antique with 100 year old wood,
embellished with salvage drawer pulls for to use of 
roof top finials.

Backdrop wall is artist papered, with vintage French 
ephemera book pages. Artist weathered with a decay
feeling of centuries old. 

I paint stain in a wash of tones, using a plastering technique
 I developed for this hauntingly aged look.
Distressed in all the right kind of rightness that
 touches the edge of my soul.

French Ephemera Backdrop


Birds
Barn Swallows

Created with salvage barn wood, Cartapesta,
wire, twigs, and vintage book ephemera art.


Wall Hanging

13" 1/2 height x 4" 3/4 width

 Cartapesta Nest and Eggs
Hand molded and hand painted eggs.

The swallow builds a cup nest from mud pellets in
barns or similar structures.They feed on insects 
in flight.
There are cultural references to the barn swallow
in literary and religious works due to both its
 living in close proximity to humans and
its annual migration.

A Bower-Bird who collects and litters his home with 
sea shells, building a beautiful home in the courtship of
attracting his mate.

elegant in nature.

Casual Grace And Published

All Photos Burlap Luxe Home

Holding onto the casual grace with pieces that inspire a home.

I find grace and beauty in pieces that hold little value standing alone...

Yet when grouped together the rustic soul of each piece tell's a story poetically.


An awkward little shippers box hold's savoring of small brocante tin and tarnished silver.
"Not quite valued, but not quite worthless."
Adding French Country Soul.



I have been published
To my surprise I received an email from the Assistant Senior Managing Editor

Long before I blogged I was enamored with this magazine that read like a book.
The talented bloggers that were featured drew you in hanging onto every inspiring word they wrote as well as the photos of their hobbies, talents in designs, the adventures taken that brought them to this beautiful place of artfully blogging it all left me feeling as if I could relate. Never would I have imagined that someday I would be blogging my many thoughts on designs, flea market finds and my passion for making time to create in an artful way.
