fluffy study #3 complete in tea dye-ish color nylon chiffon along with the unexpected and spontaneous birth of a tiny companion fluffy study
(study 3a; )
made from the leftover ruffles.
aching to move back toward natural fibers though. the float and bounce of silk chiffon sounds refreshing. hmmm....?but production of miss teapot'swinter collection will displace any future fluffy studies until further notice : )

a few rewards of my summer studies.
a tiny treasure box equipped with handmade bronze clasp and findings via metal clay.
inside a pair of silver earings (set with peridot) cast using a mold of a vintage button from my great grandmothers's button box.
all in celebration of my mommy's birthday today.
her yearly gift of handmade marshmallows gets a new adornment : ) happiest birthday wishes mommy!
i am the creator of curiosities/artifacts for adorning one's life. i feel so blessed to be able to freely splash and play in so many collected, creative materials dear to my heart. the world of miss t is one part creative laboratory, one part homeschool, one part neighborhood of doll houses, one part bric-a-brac and one part disheveled dolly sanctuary. i love to sew, knit, crochet, collect and ponder things. i have tearoom and flower shop imaginings in which to expand the good use of my home economics and culinary degrees...but for the fleeting moment, me as "mommy" is my best and most purpose filled work.
