Garden Gnome

I've been collecting cool random plates to make a wall collage and I wanted a gnome plate. I looked at my options online and wasn't too impressed with the selection or prices, so I made one of my own. Garden gnomes make me smile. They remind me of Amelie, travel and kitsch.

Dream

I made this today. It consists of faux fur, cork, collage materials, metal and rusty bottle caps. I've been picking up rusty bottle caps for years. I finally found a use for them.

The Roaring 20s!

For the past several years, I've had a thing for the 1920s, particularly the style and fashion. Even my wedding getup had a '20s feel. But lately I'm obsessed with the era. I'm sure Downton Abbey didn't help matters. 

 I've started making flapper rag dolls, altered art dolls and even '20's themed collages.

I discovered the adorable actress Colleen Moore and have put three of her photos up in my bedroom! Louise Brooks is another favorite. Someday I want to wear a gorgeous flapper dress and wear it to someplace nice.

Favorite Quote

This is one of my favorite quotes. When I was a teenager my mom hung this quote in the kids' bathroom. There were a handful of times when I was struggling with something and I'd go to use the bathroom and the quote would hit me like a hammer on the head and I'd remember to pray.

My Scrap Book Cover

I finally got around to collaging the cover of my scrapbook. It was a lot of fun and I have to admit, I'm pretty pleased. You likey?
