A FAN SWAP

Four of us ladies decided to have our 

own little fan swap. 

Our participants were:

  Wanda Buxton of Roses In Winter Part II  , 

Kelly Deal of Dreaming of Vintage, 

Marie Antionette 

and Sherry. 

 

We asked each other for input as to 

what our favorite themes were and 

then got creative!

Marie's fan creation for Kelly Deal - 

Marie's theme was "Halloween" for 

Kelly's fan at Kelly's request. It's 

elegant yet spooky... watch out for 

those creepy spiders Kelly!   

*******

Kelly's fan creation for Marie - 

Kelly went with a Marie Antoinette 

theme for Marie's fan. Her design 

made it an expanding fan as you 

can see in the photos. 

*******

Sherry's fan creation for Wanda was 

Marie Antoinette. Sherry used a mixed 

media approach, paper, lace, vintage buttons, 

ribbon roses, dimensional stickers and sparkles. 

*******

Wanda's fan creation for Sherry was 

Marie Antoinette also. Wanda used 

a Journaling approach with lovely 

tags peeking out of pockets.  

*******
We all loved the fan that was 
created for us! Thanks for a 
great swap gals! 

*******
We'd also like to bring your attention 
to a couple of great shops. 

Kelly Deal has a sweet Etsy shop under

your pleasure.

My Theater Dolls in The Knights of Columbus Art Show

Recently my Theater Dolls had the 

honor of being in a local art show. 

It was an exciting event for me to 

be a part of! 

I was entered into the 3D category and 

The experience was a fun one.   

I had 3 dolls entered: 

My Ballet Doll

The Baroque Doll 

 and Madelyn the Christmas Doll.

It was fascinating seeing all the different 

types of art in the show. 

I took some quick snapshots of 

the show.

This is the prize winner in the 
3d catagory that I was a part of. 
These were handmade vintage 
Christening Gowns. Very beautiful.   

The all around prize winner of the show 
was for the painting you see of the Jazz 
Musician. 
 

There were lots of interesting entries.

Many different styles of art. 

 

A really exciting thing happened 

at the show. 

 A lady walked up to 

me and said "Well looks like you've 

taken the prize of "the most sold" today". 

I said "What do you mean?" 

She said "You sold all three of your 

dolls... to the same buyer. 
I was in total shock, I didn't have a clue. 

  She said "AND she's a doll collector and 

has over 3000 dolls. Once she likes your 

dolls she becomes a repeat buyer." 

Once again in total shock.! 

I was introduced to the buyer 

and she wanted to come home with me 

 and see my other dolls. 

(Thank God I keep the house tidy!)

So she came and browsed through my 

studio and spotted some things for 

future purchases. 

I looked at her hubby at one point and 

said quietly "I'm sorry", in a kidding way. 

He replied "That's okay, I'll just build 

around them!" What a sweet thing to say. 

It was lots of fun being a part of an 
art show and meeting new people.  
 

**************** 

I've also had a recent sale of one of my 

paper peacocks... 

          to a gal that wanted to transform it 

into a mask. 

She sent me some photos of what she created.

 Amazing isn't it? 

 What a creative artsy costume!

     They make a lovely couple! 

Hope she won a prize for BEST MASK 

EVER!!

Well that's all from my little studio 

for now. 

Remember the HOLIDAYS are FAST 

approaching and we have some 

fine Etsy Shops on our sidebar for 

you to click on and browse. 

You might find that perfect gift that 

everyone will "Oooo and Aaaah" over!

Hope you're having a wonderful Fall.   

Love you all! 

Marie xoxo
