ICE SKATING

I was asked once again by my favorite client in Miami, to create something special for the sweetest little girl in her life. Miss L loves Ice Skating, so I wanted to make her something unique to celebrate that passion.

I'm hoping they see that I even painted the outfit to look like the one Miss L wore in her recent competition. And the Ponytail and Bangs... were again to look just like Miss L.


I also wanted to add some three dimensional snowflakes... because when you live in Miami, snow is a magical thing that only exists elsewhere! And of course... when it snows you need mittens.

But, of course... a Matching Shirt was necessary. However, since she lives in Miami, I thought she would like to have something she could wear out and about, so I went with short sleeves. But the great thing is that this shirt will layer perfectly over a turtleneck for warmth on the Ice!

Finding Nemo Jeans



I was asked by my favorite Client in Miami, to make a couple pairs of Finding Nemo Overalls.





I had to watch the movie with my kids, just to see what the characters looked like!

Before painting the movie characters, I painted seaweed, coral, and sand at the bottom of the "ocean" and a cute little seahorse.


I added genuine Swarovski crystals for the air bubbles, and then I removed the Osh Kosh label at the top, and sewed on a fabric Nemo patch to carry the theme.

A cute little ribbon at the waist was the finishing touch!

I'm painting a starfish on the pink shirt shown under the overalls.

I hope the little girls wearing these love them as much as I do!

Thomas the Train Shoes

Painting THOMAS THE TRAIN....


My sweet little nephew Benjamin Kyle turned 3 recently..... and had a Thomas the Train party!


I decided to make a special gift for a special little boy!








I painted Thomas the Train on a new little pair of High Top Tennis Shoes.


I didn't get to drive up to his party to give them to him in person.... but I hope he was excited!!

As soon as I get a pick of him wearing them, I'll post it!

Following Directions....

Well, I'm seeing if this actually works and is easy enough for me to do. Janice says I can do, but we'll see.....
