Marie Antoinette Art

I am fascinated with everything Marie Antoinette. Her life, her style, and the work she inspires. If you search Marie Antoinette on Etsy you find the most beautiful and amazing things that she has inspired. It's quite amazing.

Anyway, I also am inspired by the notorious Queen of France and find myself using her as a muse. I came up with this Marie art piece after looking through some clip art I purchased of her. I have to say that I love it so much. The bright pink, her alleged famous saying, and of course a lovely, sweet cupcake. Yum!



My base if an oval piece of wood, decoupaged paper, lavender paint, rhinestones, and glitter. It hangs with a piece of sheer white ribbon.

I love it and I am thinking of selling it on Etsy. We shall see. Stay tuned...

Angel Christmas Ornaments

I tried my hand at vintage inspired angel ornaments tonight and I think they came out pretty nice. I really like them and the vintage angel clip art printed out great. I used glass ornamentes, Mod Podge, angel clipart, pink glitter, faux snow, and ribbon.

I am going to sell them at the craft show this December. I am pricing them at 2 for $5.00.




I hope everyone has had a good start to their week.

Angel Art

The idea for this project came to me after looking at the Earth Angels website. They have the most interesting, extraordinary items there. The ladies who participate on that site are so unbelievably talented.

Anyway, they do this cute 3-D art work that I just love. I wanted to try something like it but aim it more towards my target audience, (ladies like my mom.)

I started my project with a 4x6 shadow box frame, a vintage angel cutout from one of my favorite sites, and many ideas coming from my overactive brain.

The background is the sheet music for "Angels We Have Heard on High," one of my favorite Christmas songs and a sprinkle of glitter. I used those scrapbook photo sticky things, (the actual name of these escapes me) to make the angel image stand out.



Overall I think she turned out great. I am really happy with the final result and she is one of the items that I will be selling at the craft fair in December.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
