CROWNS.

Crown And LampShade

I love the haunting shadow play with wire.

The shade I created to play off my

art and light.

I love the unexpected outcome.

Aged in cartapesta and a patina

of tarnish.

I weave and bend, twist and tie every

inch that goes into creating with

wire.

The chain wire garland, I use a crochet hook and single

crochet a chain woven into the wire.

You can follow my art and home designs on my

instagram account.

French Crown Wire-Art...All Is Calm

 Burlap Luxe French Wire~Art...

My Wire In Creating

My hands take to bending and twisting wire into wire and

cartapesta crowns.

The making of a beautiful unique tree topper for

your Christmas tree.

As well as a winter wedding cake topper or,

any season.

 

I adore wire art, be it pieces I weave into my French home designs

or create myself...

All with unfussy finishes,

 

 Patience Is A Virtue

 

 Tin Tag

I love the unexpected, where a bit of reclaimed old adds to

its statement charm.

Vintage brocante, adds all the rightness in its message from

old tattered vintage book word ephemera.

 A rustic royal holiday table will be

center pieced with a grey pumpkin

wearing one of my French wire

CROWNS.

 My hand twisted French wire art can

be found in my etsy shop

Burlap Luxe etsy

on my site side-bar.

Wonderful crowns for a dinning table center 

piece set atop a French-Prairie pumpkin.

A start on holiday shopping here...

Gifting a crown, or using them as a

special tree ornament or tree topper.

 Hard to reach places are taking on

seasonal decor.

Gentle-soft creams perhaps and some

pale greys.

 In the quiet of dimmer days French antique-

iron is given my paint treatment to

candle lit wall sconces.

 A quintessential rural French bedroom is

dominated by the iron or wood bed. 

Often Iron sconces draped in necklaces 

of crystal, have been hung, this sconce

will take on wreathed twigs for the

holidays.

Soon my etsy shop will be filling up with holiday-

gifting and decor.

Holiday stockings in French textile have been stocked

with reduced sales.

Inspiring a season of listening.

 DAPHNE'S DIARY

A magazine full of inspiration and style.

I was honored to have been asked if I would share my 

home and art in their magazine published in the 

U.S and internationally.

Being published in so many countries is even that much more

exciting.

My home will appear in the written languages of the 

Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, 

France, in English in the UK, and Ireland, Spain, 

Sweden, the U.S.A, Canada, Australia, 

New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Japan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 DAPHNE'S DIARY is a sweet romantic magazine with

a vintage look and feel.

 A romantic and nostalgic layout,

 sets itself apart from other magazines by

its diary theme.

The line written, where my daughter is a student in 

Oak Hills, it's a small error in translation...

she is a college student, and our 

business address is Oak Hills. 

Here with DAPHNE'S DIARY readers, I share my home

and the passion for French brocante. Where my home

incorporates salvage and found pieces I turn into

art and designs.

 

 I was especially excited in their choice to feature my

French theatre's I create from old salvage woods,

fragments of old picture frames, and my love

of French cartapesta papier~mache'.

If you watch or listen closely you may hear a 

French opera performance in our home, or

the building of another 'French'

theater. 

 

Another request of theirs was my hand twisted and 

embellished French wire-work beaded with 

vintage and covered in cartapesta...

Along with my pottery and created wood~work in 

typography that spells pottery.

My wire crowns can be found in my 

Burlap Luxe etsy shop.

 

 

I am pleased to be in beautiful company of such artist,

and designers.

The beautiful Jo-Anne Coletti shares her home,

and art. I would love to show you more but,

I will leave it to her, and not spoil it

for you.

 

 Another wonderful inspiring home is the home of

Stylist and photographer, Helena Bernald. She 

describes her home as quite eclectic, I 

describe it as amazing.

  Now! on your magazine stands and at your retail

book sellers...{Barns and Noble}

{Issue number 6}

It's a magazine that reads like a diary filled with,

Interior~ Garden~ Vintage~ Workshops~ Recipes~

Outings and Trips~ shopping...

In this issue beautiful cake art,

and a beautiful place in the 

English Hills, England.

Thank you 

DAPHNE'S DIARY Magazine

for adding,

Grace and beauty to my days.

The Gravity Of White Pulls Me In

Burlap Luxe Home

Where an artisan designs around natural materials.

A rare bit of colour blends in seamlessly with the use of pale stripes.
( Ralph Lauren Linen )
Adding to my French country home of bleached linens.

Does this antique brass lamp count as colour?
It was a great find at my local thrift shop. I studied it and looked it over charmed
by it's shape, but best was its rich patina of age and the way I knew it would anchor
my room with a beautiful rustic effect.
Can you believe I paid $9.00 for it!

I love how tall it is...
34" 1/2 in height

I gently cleaned it carfully to not disturb the patina that almost looks like
aged copper that takes on that rich zinc patina.
I am not a big fan of brass, but this lamp was like none-other, and
oh so intriguing enough to count as a bit of colour with ease and rural rustic elegance.

I also happened to have loved the off and on switch on the base, tugging at my
heart with memories of my grandparents prairie farmhouse being filled with lamps
with these kind of switches; funny that would mean something to me.

A lamp with a base switch added memories and comfort to my home.

Another great find was 3 of these.
( Yard sale $5.00 for all 3)
I could not resist bringing one inside and one out on the porch and the
3rd one to a dear friend.

Made of cement, and used on block wall columns decoratively topping them off.
I love it sitting on the floor in my sitting room

I have been busy creating new pieces for my etsy shop.
Peaceful birds, artist created unique in as much as not being a mass market pattern or
product, yet created with my signature style.

They hang gently on the wall from a wire hook, aged with grey and vintage
ephemera book words with a poetic message.

The French queen of her garden carries her crown in flight.
( Wire crown created by me )

New to my etsy is my wire art pieces,
( Crowns )
I have been busy bending and twisting at request of when I will be creating more?
More to come to my etsy.

Aged and decayed with a crusty coating, and a patina of tarnished grey and touches of gold.

After a long May of creating I took and made some time to return to painting.
I did not realize how I missed it so until the first stroke of paint hit the square piece
of paneling board.

A work in progress, and will share it when it is framed.

Shown with light on it so you can see the aging of gold added.
