Studio goodies!

Spent some time unpacking my ebay goodies, fun things from Artchixstudios and miscellany.  Love the lipstick pen. Super love my new goth girl Ophelia Pain doll.  Artchix shipping labels are fun in and of themselves and are alway addressed to The Lovely Elisabeth. Fun. Now all nicely sorted and waiting for the 'right' moment.

And here are my mascot girls.  They live on my computer desk.  Hmm, 3 stages of e???

Booked In Paris

This piece came together from a couple of fun finds.  The 'book' box was found at Michael's and offered a perfect medium for collage and assemblage.  On sale too - so naturally I've picked up a couple.  The wood-cut figure and the odd clock-faces came from a favorite online source of mine, Artchixstudio.com, hailing from Victoria, Canada and the inspiration and work of the oh-so-lovely Helga.

Add some of my favorite themes - travel, shoes, hands and an odd bit here and there and it comes together nicely. The 3-dimensional suitcases were created by collaging over wood pieces and the map embellishments were also collaged on wood.. It was said to me that this was a 'sweet' version of my usual work, but hey, I do enjoy a piece of white chocolate on a regular basis, so why not!
