It is that gorgeously ornate time of the year... Almost time for Carnivale ( carneval, carnevale however you wish to spell it..) in Venice, Italy.
I am so fortunate to have several customers from the United states and Europe
waltzing around the grand balls in Venice in my work.

It reminds me of one of my major goals for this year.. To get some ballgowns
out there for sale. After working in the NYC garment center for almost a decade,
I have some of the MOST beautiful fabrics and trims.. and now that I have
a bigger and better studio space, I can build more costumes and gowns.
I hope to be able to go to Venice in 2012.. Here's to 18th century inspired gowns and gorgeousness!
Fleurishes,
Kathleen Marie
I just got back from Carnevale. My husband and I go every year. I originally discovered you on Etsy, since I also have a shop there and have included your work in a few of the treasuries that I have made. Anyway, I was thinking that some of the wigs that I see at the Florian and elsewhere must be made by you! I love your work!
