Ho Solo Degli Occhi Per Lei

"I only have eyes for you"

This particular mask had a lot of tedious work done to it.  Each peacock feather was trimmed to specific height for the "prom hair" it was accompanying for the evening.  The stick was trimmed to perfect holding comfort for the short 5, 2" frame it was hugging and the glitter spray was meticulously sprayed as to avoid "falling" shine onto the satin prom dress.  Each white and blue rhinestone were hand glued on and it was purposely done that the blue rhinestone nestled in the corner of each eye to bring out the blue in the prom divas eyes.  And finally, the stick this mask is stuck to, was wrapped in satin ribbon that was dyed to be a perfect match to the prom dress.  A lot of work, but totally worth it when the mother called me to tell me, "these kick a$$!".  All in a days work!

Amours!

Details: Eye only mask, male/female one size fits all, metallic sterling silver color, manufactured peacock feathers, metallic braided silver trim, 1mm blue/white acrylic gemstones.

Misterioso Fissa

"Mysterious Eyes"

Apparently the word got out that I'm a craft dork.  I was asked to make two masks this year for the highschool prom that had a theme of "Masquerade". 

Details: Full party mask (male/female size small), metallic gun metal color, black rhinestone accents, black braided lace trim. 

Amours!

Sweet Story...

Yes, an endearing quote from, "The Princess Bride".  This was a custom piece someone wanted done as a gift/anniversary present to their hubby for Valentine's Day.  I have a feeling this is going to have some tears shed when it is opened next week after the story that was told to me and the meaning behind it.  I'm so happy they will now always relive their memories each time they pass by it in their home.

Amours!

Details: 12" x 12" slate tile.

Reuse, Renew, Recycle

How do you like your present, simple and cute or sparkly and sophisticated?  You get to choose!!  For those lucky enough to get gifts from me, know that I've outgrown the ever popular gift bag.  I've discovered that keepsake boxes are so much more fun to give because they just aren't popular....yet (enter Heather).  You can re-do this box and re-gift it so many times and in so many ways which makes it a real money saver!  Why not add sparkle gems all over the lid for that teenager in your life or add polka dot stickers for your 6 year olds birthday party?  Change out the ribbon however many times you want and recreate a gift box to depict Easter, Mother's Day, Birthdays etc...  It's a great "green" way to give a gift with your own style that reflects theirs too!

Details: 6 inch round papier-mâché box.  Bright green grosgrain ribbon reinforced w/eyelets.

Amours!
