Faith Working Through Love Mixed Media Collage

This piece was created with a special customer in mind. The focal point is an image of Mary Cassatt's "Margot Standing in a Garden." It's such a beautiful image. The canvas is made of recycled materials. I've added a flower (of course), beads at the bottom & a bead hanger. This sparkly piece is also accented with vintage sheet music, vintage pattern paper & the verse "The only thing that counts is faith working through love" (Galatians 5:6).

I really enjoyed creating this piece.  I love how it came out. It measures approximately 8" x 10". It is signed on the back. 


This piece was also created from recycled materials. The focal point is  Frank W. Benson's "Two Boys." It measures about 8" x 10" and I enjoyed creating it. It's also signed on the back.

Pink Vintage Sheet Music Flower Hair Clip


This is really a lovely GIFT idea! A definite head-turner, conversation piece. I love receiving custom orders. If you need another color, a bridal package, a smaller flower or a brooch, please let me know. 


Lovingly handcrafted by me for you! I've been creating  for as long as I can remember. I enjoy creating in different mediums.  This piece is truly a OOAK (one of a kind)! Hours of work went into creating it. I love fabric & textiles. I love to create with recycled & reclaimed items. Crafted from cotton fabric, measuring 5 1/2" across, this flower is definitely no shrinking violet. This handcrafted flower is accented in the center with vintage sheet music. Each bead & sequin was sewn on by hand.  Each petal was sewn by hand. The edges of the petals are raw. The petals, however, have been treated to control the fraying. The back is finished with felt.

This flower would be pretty worn on the side, accenting a ponytail or sitting directly on top of the head. It's all up to you & whatever best suits your style. Please keep in mind that the tip of the clip (not completely covered by the petals) can be seen, depending on the hairstyle you're wearing. The tip is hidden more if you have some volume to your hairstyle or your hair is curly like the mannequin "Clara."

The flower is attached to a  3 1/2" duck bill clip.  This item should NEVER be tossed in the washer.


I'm extremely pleased with how this flower came together & hope that you like it enough to make it your own. This hair clip would make a lovely gift as well.

This is available for sale at Allen & GRACE!

My Fantastic Blue Monday Mood!

Happy Blue Monday everyone! I'm in a fantastic blue mood. Thanks to Smiling Sally for hosting!!! You guys know I love my handcrafted flowers. The first flower crafted from vintage bridal satin is of Lucille Ball, of course. Who doesn't love Lucy? The 2nd is Chipette Brittany. I created that one for my daughter Taylor's birthday. The 3rd is Chipette Eleanor, which was made for my daughter Madison's birthday. I recycled one of my girls' denim jeans & created a wall pocket. I just love the country blue fabric. After making the flowers, I attached sticks from my yard to the back & this pretty is hanging on the wall of my kids' bedroom. Just love the little dream tag.
Now for the piece de resistance! With Mother's Day in less than a week & my Granny's birthday just 2 days after that, I was thinking of  my grandmother Mary. She's no longer with us, but she's remembered & loved more & more every day.






All of my flowers can be custom made. Whether you need a hair clip, headband or a brooch, I love custom orders. Just contact me & I'll do my best to create something special for you. 
Happy Blue Monday guys and Thanks for stopping by!
