Mini Crown Inspiration

I been having so much fun creating little fancies! You just never know where inspiration will strike! And when it does you hope that is is truly yours! Sometimes in that twilight zone of sleep, when my brain finally calms down, the most amazing images coalesce, no drugs either! The key is to remember the thought the next morning. Sometimes it won't come to me no matter what I do! Other times it does and the creating begins. The tradtional Maypole Celebration was the key! These things never turn out exactly as I pictured. As an artist, that is part of the journey, but I always enjoy the twists and turns each project takes to completion!

I will be offering a class for this petite confection on Sunday, March 14th, won't you join me for some creative fun? Go to Whimzy! to register!

Ho! Ho! Ho! It's Halloween!

Yes, it's that time again!
Whimzy is now sporting not only Halloween, but Christmas too! We have some truly UNIQUE holiday items that I am sure you'll want to see! Artist J'me Santos has brought us some whimzical Halloween collage tins. Each one with it's own character and personality add something really fun to any holiday collection. I was industrious enough to put together a few Halloween crowns and party hats. "PMEsther" was an idea I had brewing for months and finally came to fruition! "Queen of the Cauldron" will be the crown we re-create for the October 15th crown class at Whimzy. Dianne has been busy too! She has lovingly put together a collection of vintage bottles full of ghoulies and creepies. Some have rhinestone eyes, some have crowns, and she has even done some custom casting for
the stoppers on a portion of the bottles as well!
Needless to say Christmas is bright and vintage and spark-o-ly too! The shop really looks magical right now so if your in the hood-
DROP ON BY FOR HO! HO! HALLOWEEN!
