Frozen Charlotte

I have really been enjoying the silver creamers, pitchers, and tea pots lately.  I got this frozen Charlotte head at Uncommon Objects in Austin, Texas and I think she looks right at home in this one:

Mosaic Silver Plated Pitcher

I've had this silver plated pitcher for awhile now and love its intricate detailing on the handle and feet. I'm building my inventory for the Country Living show in Austin, Texas in April and decided to turn it into a mosaic piece.

I got this sweet frozen Charlotte doll on a recent junkin' trip.

Same with the cold water faucet handle.






After gluing a large piece like that, I did a single switch plate. Love this chunky skull bead I got from my buddy, Elle. SOLD - thanks, Rebecca!

It's Raining Switch Plates

I just filled a HUGE switch plate order for my friend Monet in Denver. Monet and I are kindred spirits in our love of all things old. Understanding that, it was really fun to pick the ingredients for these plates!

This Co-ed Shoe Dressing lid is so fun. I had never done a quadruple switch plate before!

And I put together some singles, too. Including this one with the bake lite finial.


Frozen Charlotte heads - Monet was really excited when I told her I'd incorporate them somehow!


Personalized with a "S".


Got this great cameo in a kitchy shop in Jerome, Arizona.

Las Vegas ash tray from the Cowtown Mallroom!




Snuck in a doll arm . . .

These should be arriving in Denver any day now! Thanks, Monet, for supporting my art and for incorporating so many funky plates in your home!

Frozen Charlotte

I love broken and grazed frozen Charlotte's. This one is missing some limbs but doesn't she look right at home on this double switch plate?




I used my last asymmetrical heart form in the last post and went frantically searching for more on Ebay this morning. It had been several years since I had purchased them but was able to look through my records and bingo! Whew. I also found a large fashion boot form, skulls and some cupcakes. It's really fun to mosaic on these flat, wooden forms. Many ideas swirling and I can't wait to get started!
