Hello and Welcome to my Blog ~ I love art of all kinds. Two of my favorites are polymer clay and paper art. I have shops on Etsy that feature both of my passions. I also love writing my blog and finding artists that have a passion for their craft and feature them. I hope your day is filled with sunshine, laughter and loads of creativity.

Unique Wedding Bouquet Alternative



Patti Sundik of Love Paris Studio has come up with an awesome and truly unique idea for an alternative  wedding bouquet.  These beautiful hand held mirrors have been embellished with vintage jewelry, buttons and beads to make them truly one of a kind.




She will create a personalized mirror for you by using your vintage items, or create a mirror in the color scheme of your choice. With your treasures, the mirror will become a cherished family heirloom.





Each mirror comes beautifully gifted in a black box with a soft chiffon "pillow" insert and has a clear view cover. The presentation is in keeping with the luxurious art inside




Upon request Patti will enclose a gift card for the recipient. The card s a small photo note card with part of the mirror's design on the front. 



In addition, Patti has designed bouquets to coordinate beautifully with her mirrors. This particular bouquet was designed to coordinate perfectly with her peach blossom mirror. (below) 
A totally new and unique concept for your wedding.  The mirror handle becomes the bouquet handle.  It is easily attached to the mirror with a golden ribbon cord.




Patti also creates these wonderful Wedding Lockets. The front picture features the bride and groom. The back of the locket features your bridal bouquet  with names and date of the wedding.

The Creation Of A Paper Doll

First of all, I had to come up with an idea. I came up with this particular creation after ordering curly wool from a marvelous shop on Etsy called Dream Fiber.  As soon as I saw it, I thought what lovely hair this would make. 

Then I cut out all the pieces to make my creation, making sure 
I had the right beads for the eyes.





I liked the idea of a little girl with her puppy and creating 
an old fashioned look to her.


Oh, I think that's a little puppy peeking around her skirt.


The faces are coming together now as I  carefully place each piece.



How fun it is seeing it all come together.  I will have this creation in my Whimsy Kreations shop on Etsy at the end of next week.  I do hope you will stop by and see her.
