Great News I Just Have to Share!

My heart is singing and I am laughing a bit louder today!
Why you ask...? Well I will share my news with you.


Article spread inset of choker details

I was published to my delight in a wonderful magazine called Belle Armoire. This magazine features "The Artistry of Clothing and Accessories". This is such a wonderful honor to have my sewing artwork included in this fabulous publication!

Letter inside secret pocket on choker

I submitted two pieces for an art call: "Becoming Jane". A light blue velvet choker and matching handbag highlighting our heroine herself. The choker features a hidden pocket where Miss Elizabeth of Pride and Prejudice keeps the words of love professed to her by Mr. Darcy. The handbag features a small diary attached to the front with, smokey light blue rhinestones, antique shell buttons, a lady figurehead and hand sewn medallion lace attached to the bottom of the purse. This feature article is by Amanda Crabtree and to my surprise she even wrote a lovely description of my work in her article, thanks Amanda!

Details of purse


The spread is stunning and features other fabulous and talented artisans too, who submitted handbags, hats, an Edwardian style dress and jewelry. I am honored to be among you. I hope you will check out this edition of Belle Armoire you will not be disappointed!
