My first new piece for 2010.
Beautiful blue glass paperweight eyes and auburn tibetan hair.
Hat was made from an antique french doll pattern.
She sits upon a little stool inside of a shadow box which I lined with flocked, glittered paper and vintage images. I wanted the feel of a Opera Theater but also the feel of Paris back in the late 1800's early 1900's
I found some wonderful images which I thought captured those times. Some of the images are from The Graphics Fairy a wonderful source for vintage graphics. "Thank you Karen' ;-) A postcard to her dear love, a special evening in Paris, the performance of a lifetime perhaps....The images portray what this young lady could be dreaming about and leaves it up to you the viewer to decide what they mean.
Vintage Rhinestone Broaches, Red Tulle and French Ribbons accent the box.
Detail of the rose brocade fabric.
Program taken from an actual vintage opera program.
Tiny matching brocade shoes.
She is available for purchase here.
Thank you for stopping by!
