The Glaucous Wrack Collector - Art Print

2010-05-25T16:42:00.000-07:00

It's been such a long while since I posted here - shame on me. I've recently shifted and prioritized several areas in my life and now have more time to actually create artwork! Wonder of all wonders...it's about time - lol!

First up is a new digital art print series. Ever since I was a little thing, I've loved good sci-fi, futuristic story-tales and post apocalyptic redemption themes. In my "green world" series, I'm combining all of the above, plus adding new/old steampunk touches to the visuals.

Here is print No.1 - The Glaucous Wrack Collector for your viewing pleasure.

Textile Jewelry Cuff

2009-01-25T19:49:00.000-08:00

Lady Sarah - available Here

Muse to artists and writers, darling of Paris stage and theatre. Night after night, Lady Sarah brought the world to her feet. Fearless in her affections, she enchanted her adoring lovers. In an age of feminine repression, she was a dauntless free spirit, true only to her glorious self.

There has only been one Lady Sarah Bernhardt. We dedicate this wristlet to her and her legendary life.

This textile cuff has been created with chartreuse color silk dupoini, overlaid with vintage black netting trim. Black sequins and decorative circles of vintage chenille adorn the netting. Two open roses of plum satin and green sheer organza lie in lovely repose, each centered with the sparkle of tiny chartreuse seed beads. A black guimpure frog scroll and black fringe tassel close the cuff around the wrist, hooking over one black bead button.

My search for the pretties I deconstruct and reconstruct has led me on an "under the influence" adventure, trekking through thrift stores, antique malls, second hand shops. I'm besotted with the hunt for vintage garments, lacey handworks, beautiful old fabrics and shiney baubles. I've even put the call out to my seamstress and sewing friends - open up your treasure troves and share with me. Won't you, please, pretty please?

I've always hoarded choice fabrics (bins full follow me around through my lifestyle evolution) and I'm completely enamored of the tactile. Velvets, silks, satins, lace, fur....anything I can stroke or wind my fingers in - these all push da' happy buttons.

In addition to my love of finery fabrics, I have a weakness for beautiful exotic lingerie. You can imagine how thrilled I am to know this passion can finally come out of the closet and out of the bedroom.

An accepted fact - Madonna blew the doors off the bedroom when she made it acceptable to wear lingerie as outerwear. Today's young women easily don their corsets, bustiers, cinchers, their balconette brassieres for a night on the town and also venture out to attend gatherings of like minded costumers and Steampunk Romantics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkTdK-1Xiro

Tattered Rouge brings my lovely fabric collection out into the light of day....inspired by the opportunity to dress these fashion forward/history inspired women who have the passionate hearts of a siren. No apologies necessary!!!

Christmas is Coming - Great Gift Ideas!

***Accepting Orders For Custom Pet Portraits***
Email your pet pictures to us and we'll create a one of a kind portrait.
Contact us at: jewl.gurl@yahoo.com for further details.

There was a gurl…a very exceptional, pretty gurl who lived next to the southern sea. Her maman named her Princess Ruby Bordeuax. She grew up learning all kinds of wonderous and remarkable things from her beloved mama, including how to fly.

Princess Ruby loved to perform and at the drop of a tall black hat she was in the air, demonstrating the strength of her wings in daring aerobatic stunts, maneuvers that only the fearless and truly brave of heart can do.

Her favorite time of the year was when old Barkus of Mardi Gras rode through town. She donned her very best costumes and proudly led those parades, bowing graciously left and right in true Princess form, to the delight of all viewers.

**In memorandum of Ruby - who passed in Nov ‘07.

This is the fourth portrait in a series of limited edition ACEO cards (2.5 x 3.5" size). These digital image montages portraying Steam Dogs are available at:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=14314532

Aces! Double Aces!! This mighty duo is celebrated throughout the farthest reaches of Tween-Time aviation. Known for their uncanny ability to fly under any atmospheric condition and for zeroing their ground down objective precisely at the designated second, within a one foot radius.Capitain Riley, the most decorated flyer in the air, is today receiving the RFM (Royal Flight Master) medal. This medal has been given to only one other flyer in the history of airship navigation. RFM Riley, acknowledges his sidekick and most trusted partner, Navigator Abbelaide, with whom he shares his medals and accolades. "Without the superior navigation skills of my dear friend, Abby, none of our successes would be possible."

Wulfie Von Flugel is in flight training with the legendary Countess Cassandra Kiryakov (known as Casey to her inner circle). The Countess always has some pup under her wing, tutoring, mentoring, leveling while the little ones grow into their wings. Wulfie Von Flugel is in flight training with the legendary Countess Cassandra Kiryakov (known as Casey to her inner circle).

During the Reformation of Dominion, the Countess safely landed, earthside, a dead in the air interstellular aero-burner. In the course of this unparalleled, impossible landing, she also just happened to bring home the last of the C4-F Star System refugees.

To this day, no one else has successfully landed a dead aeroburner. This momentous feat of the Countess continues to stand.

Wulfie knows he's a lucky dog!

Deep in the midst of brushes, paint and turpentine, Dante stops, suddenly aware the book has moved and his model is upright, no longer supine upon the recamier. "No, no, please remain still. How can I paint if you move about?"She reaches for her feathered pen. "Ah, Rossetti, you are too hard on me. I need to move my limbs and this book...this wonderful book. I simply must write down this passage before it escapes me." 'Let what may be Beyond remain beyond. Tomorrow has not come - tomorrow may never come - at the moment tomorrow does not exist. There is only today, and today is ours.' from 'Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam'

“Illusion is the first of all pleasures.” he whispers in her ear. She startles. Fleetingly her dark eyes incandesce and then she is away, elegantly gliding across the room, away from the compelling resonance of his low voice. The velvet of her skirt shimmers deeply, exquisitely defining the movement of her long legs. She is dressed to advantage tonight, tastefully sleek as is expected in this sophisticated circle of Parisian beau monde. Her graciousness and diplomacy in conversation with her guests is legendary, yet her spirited laugh acknowledges the absurdities, the contradictions of the human condition. Her salons are acclaimed, held in great esteem by those who can not gain entry. “Mademoiselle Natalie, you must read from Salome for us.” She gracefully bows her head, the room quiets. As her magnificent voice lifts encircling her listeners, the intriguing necklace resting on her bosom catches light, casting it's soignee, enigmatic spell. The illusion is complete.

She waits...watching, ever watching, suspended in time gone by. She waits, listening intently through the persistant silence, for the sound of his footstep outside her door. Her pale skin flushes slightly at the thought of his last caress, a touch gathered deep away in memory. This barest bloom is the only sign of a beating life shut away in the straitened catacombs of her heart.With the sparest of movements, her delicate fingers open the locket falling loosely within the curve of her breasts. She quietly breathes out, languorously stroking the precious lock of his darkling hair and she waits.....

My hand lifts, fire flashes around my wrist, then dies back. The fire waits, quietly, almost sleeping in the shadows of my garments. I feel it's heat against my skin, an intoxicating charge of unearthly intensity.

Concealed beneath the dense black lace of my sleeve is The Gypsy's Bracelet...a revered relic handed down through five blood generations of women in my family. The bracelet came to my great-great Grandam through a Boheme Gypsy.

As the story goes, this Gypsy woman laid her hands on Grandam, peering deep into her eyes. Mumbling sing-song in her strange Rom language, she encircled Grandam's wrists with her twisty gnarled fingers, then turned quickly away, vanishing before my Gramdam's very eyes. She left behind the geomancer bracelet which never parted from Grandam's wrist until the end of her life. Grandam was the first woman of our family to wear this mystic bracelet - the first of our line of women to foretell destinies.

'Illuminator Tips' are protective-proactive hand gear. Divinely stylish with a bit of devilishness in the details. In some old world cultures, the wearing of fingertip covers denoted social status and standing.
Hand-formed (adjustable size) brass finger protectors wrap around your finger tip. A soldered on delicate brass filigree overlays the brass tip with an anodized metal, satin finish deep red rose sitting beautifully atop the filigree.
