"I AM AN
ARTIST!"
I believe in beauty as the foundation of my life's
work. I couldn't escape it, for it is the very substance my cells thrive on.
Life would be unlivable without beauty. I simply must create, in many natural
media, whether they be murals on walls or illustrations in books, portraits on
canvas or Gaia in wood. I live and breath thst spectrum of delicious emotions
that guides every stitch of the needle and stroke of the
brush.
I am most experience at, and best known for my intimate
relationship with fabrics and couture fashions. Here, in the forefront of my
website, I'm going to talk about the style I've developed, refined, almost
perfected: the antique heirloom lace gown.
Collage is the term that best describes the
technique I developed those many years ago. All my skills, training, and
natural gifts were put to great use. Form, balance, and function all had to
come and play as you take something flat and square and ask it to form to
supple curves and limbs. For Couture to qualify as Art-To-Wear, it must be both
graceful and comfortable, as well.
I came to call my dressmaking "sculpture".
Built
Opulent Creations with eclectic couture.
Today I could call this
modern-retro style.... |

I have been a GREEN rebel all my life. My mission, my
way of being, is to rescue these beautiful things and give them new life. Not
as "historic recreations". RECYCLING! I retrieve, restore, reinvent
and, finally, resurrect antique laces in a modern dress that extends this lost
Art into the next generation of beauty. I give to each one a bit of my breath,
most of my energy, all of my love, and they are reborn as radical new
classics!
THAT is the lace which I can transform into unique,
modern, comfortable, comforting couture Art-To-Wear for your special ceremonies
and most heartfelt moments. |
Art-To-Wear
For YOU, the
most beautiful lace, the most precious lace, most often your most meaningful
choice is that long-lost hand-me-down lace which has been in your own family
for generations. Grannie's veil. Auntie's train. Mom's legacy hiddden away in a
cupboard or trunk. THAT is the next lace I want to rescue - recycle -
revitalize - for YOU! |
