The detailing in my work, vintage wire of salvage, vintage jewlery, pearls, wire and glass beads,
as well as woven wire threads and vintage laces. Then charmed with a
vintage ephemera word of endearment.

Details in my original hand bent French wirework, crusty age artist created, and
sealed for heirloom quality.
(Charm reads) Duchesse, Love, and France.

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.

That April Morn And French Wire Baskets Filled

Burlap Luxe Wire Art~ Created by Dore (me)

That April Morn, and French Wire Baskets Are Filled.

Most of you know my wire art and the joy of bending, twisting, and
creating new pieces always excite the new beginnings of the delicate pieces
they become.

Little spring, sweet we found.

Laid eggs in every nest made.

Wire gently bent back and fro, welded a sweet handle to hold.

Tucked in its sweet nesting a Lavender sachet pilliow sweetly made and holiday gifted from
my sweet friend Elizabeth Maxson The Adventures of Elizabeth
How sweet the smell of spring.

After a piece of wire takes shape, it then takes on a bit more with a crusty white with
aged finish.

Another wire piece I created is dancing Pia bleu. It was created to look like our
Italian Greyhound puppy now 8 months old. The wire piece was created for one of my theatre
stage performances where I create mini French theatres of song and dance.

Wearing her bun and wire crown and a tattered grey dog collar she dances this spring holiday.

Little nests of hay.

Eggs wrapped in burlap twine and dried roses, with tattered white cloth loose bows.


Perfectly tied for the nicest nest.

Advance the flight in me, Easter Wings.

My wire cage I created from salvage. He wears his crown and feels this day.
