Fringe Shop Update...

Happy Thursday, lovely friends! This week's shop update is live, and let me tell you, I'm a tad bit worn out. I love challenging myself to these weekly updates, but they tend to take their toll. I've shamefully neglected reading all the blogs I love, to say nothing of my darling brother, my sleep, meals and house. Oh, the Sacrifices for art!

I really am so happy with the seven new pieces I created. They're close to my heart. I took a couple of completely new turns this week. The pillowy fiber brooches are one-of-a-kind and I'm a little crazy over them. It's like I've written before, you have to love your creations. It's the only way they will speak to others, when you truly care about your work.

Here are a few of the new pieces. If you want to see all seven, click here.

Happy Place Brooch

Victorian meets modern. Vintage components. Hand sewn, hand embroidered, hand crocheted.

Cumulus Brooch

Fluffy. Textural. Dramatic. Couture.

He-Loves-Me Capelet

Romantic. Urban and rustic. A gorgeous contrast of chartruese and red.

Pinwheel Shrug

Summer bright. Whimsical. Feminine.

Kissing Cowl

Enchantment for your neck. Periwinkle is for everyone.

Bruised Lariat

Swingy. Sexy. Extra long. Rich colors.

For those of you who haven't seen me around your blog for awhile, forgive me. I'll get back into my routine and come by to see you very soon.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday...any plans for the upcoming weekend?

Thank you so much for visiting me! Your comments are like little messages of happiness...xo

Busy Hands....

Exponential Neck Ruffle.

Sticks and Stones Capelet.

Petticoat Boot Ruffle.

Yes, my hands have been very busy these days. My mind has been going a mile a minute. If only my hands could keep up with my mind....That would go right along with my idea of a perfect world.

My designs are sort of moving in a different direction, yet they are still very much the style of Fringe. How that happens, I have no idea. I guess it's because these designs, like all my others, come from my ideas...that is, they all originate from the same place...

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to visit...xo

Fringe Fall 2009

The Lovely Librarian Cowl is the first of the Fringe Fall 09 lineup to hit my shop. A rich, super soft, oversized mocha brown cowl complete with a unique sculptural brooch that can be worn with all of your wardrobe pieces. What makes this piece extra special is the brooch; a large, soft, pliable muslin fabric sculpture with strips of vintage lace, velvet ribbon and a very old mother-of-pearl button. I designed the ruffles to actually resemble worn, well-read pages of a book.

I hope you like my newest Fringe creation. There's plenty more where this came from, soon to appear...Thanks for visiting...xo
