BirdyBoo Purse

This is a Pique Assiette Purse made with vintage china, stained glass, findings, rhinestones and crystals.  I wanted to design a purse that could use all of these elements as well as painting and glazing, and this is the result.  I then upped the whimsey factor by lining it with faux fur, lest we hear a tube of lipstick knocking about inside :o)

The Lady In The Mirror ~ Sold

This Pique Assiette piece was made for a VSA Arts of Indiana charity auction. I was given the smaller framed mirror that you see within the center.  I then added the larger outer frame to accommodate my design.  Then came my favorite part.....finding, breaking and piecing all of the broken bits and pieces back together. The Auction was in October, and my Lady found a new home in a private collection in New York.  It was an honor to make her for VSA, and it was an honor for her to go to a loving home.....and as usual, a little piece of me went with her.  The Lady In the Mirror is the first of a series I am working on.   To learn more about VSA Arts click here.
