Mirror, Mirror

The idea of a series princess shoes was suggested by a client (I already had ruby slippers and Cinderella) I decided to make them look a bit like old illustrations. Here is Snow White, I'm working on Sleeping Beauty now. Its funny how much I love to come up with fairy tale shoes when you are much more likely to catch me wearing sneakers!

Snow White and Rose Red

 Fairy tale book box inspired by Rose Red and Snow White

This tale is so sweet, the two opposite sisters who love each other so dearly. Of course I love the enchanted bear as well!  I have such fun hunting for treasures to make these assemblage pieces! The little dolls are hand sewn, I don't consider myself a doll maker but this project seemed to call for it. 

Will be available in my etsy shop

ACEO and Snow White

Ink, with a touch of gouache and watercolor image inspired by Neil Gaiman's Short story "Snow Glass Apples". I was lucky enough to "see" the Atlanta Radio company do a live performance of a radio play version at Mythic Journeys in 2006 and I couldn't get little Snow out of my head. Here she is perched on her throne. Wicked little Snow.

The original is availble in my shop www.darklingwoods.etsy.com
