Fine Art Fashion Prints Are Available! First set Special Edition!

Dear Friends,

FINALLY! I have prints available of one of my photo shoots!

The first edition is "Miss Aprella 'Lacroix et la Pompadour', a
loving tribute to one of my favourite french couture designers,
Christian Lacroix, and also to 18th century luminary, Madame de Pompadour.

The first five prints are being sold as a 'Special Edition' complete
with a Rococo hand painted frame in your choice of two colours.
( frame available is not the one pictured here).
The image is roughly 8x10, the frame, 9 x12.

These prints are printed using the finest printing process for fine art replication;
the giclee process. The inks are outstanding and archival, the paper
is equally as outstanding, being Somerset Velvet stock.

LIMITED availability..

Miss Aprella is Available Here.

Fleurishes!,

New Fashion Doll Repaints..Works in Progress!

Dear Friends,

Some new work! I have been working on repainting more fashion dolls, during my holiday
break. ( I did this last year too!?) It's time to get this show moving,
and here we go...!
A few are going to private collections, a few are going up on ebay,
and a few are going into 18th century high style, and into Antoinette's Atelier.

For those of you that have no idea about these particular dolls:

These are 16" ( Barbie is only 12", mind you), vinyl articulated fashion dolls.
They are mostly marketed towards adult collectors, as their price points are
quite high.
As a repainted doll, all factory applied face paint is removed, and repainted by the
artist. A talented artist can create a face/ likeness that is much more dimensional
and dynamic that a screen painted factory stencil.














Thus, what you are buying is a miniature one-of-a-kind painting or work of art.

I am in the beginning stages of planning for a new show in July..I will give you more details later...!


PS.. I have to admit to not being NEARLY as interesting the the Paris Couture shows
after the loss of Alexander McQueen, and Christian LaCroix's closure.
Although I do love John Galliano and Christian Dior, I was quite surprised at last season's incredible scale down on the couture shows! Even Dior's gorgeous pagentry was
really shockingly scaled back. It is sad to see such a beautiful and rare institution slowly reach its demise. ( I could go on and on about this..)

The good news? I hope to try to reflect and nurture similar grandiose
visions on a smaller scale... With Fashion Dolls....

Here's to a Beautiful New YEAR!

Kathleen
