I have fun showing people how to do this art form! From start to finish, each piece is carefully hand crafted. I cut my own paper 1/8” wide, by 2” long, and then scroll them in the desired shapes using a hat pin. Days are spent, meticulously making the tiny pieces, then arranging them just so, to become a collectable heirloom of lasting beauty for anyone to admire. It looks so elegant and delicate, but it is surprisingly sturdy! It has been researched, and so far I’m the only known artist offering these kinds of pieces for sale, many of which are my original ideas/patterns. It's not that it's hard to do, rather it is because it's VERY time consuming. I have been refining this art form for 30+ years, and am proud to be able to offer this rare art work for your collection. You may even want to start a collection! I'm constantly thinking of new things to make and offer :) If you want to know more about the art form (also known as Quill Art) go to the "About Me & the Art" page.

PLEASE remember once these are sold....they're gone...I have no idea if or when I will be making any more! Like so many artists I go thru streaks, and as you already know from looking around my site, I have MANY things I like to dabble in! :) (And if you look in my 'portfolio' you'll see there
has been many things that have sold out and are unavailable for now). On the other hand, because I love all the types of art I do, you never know
when I'll have another idea come to form...that's why you need to come back once in awhile to see what's new!!!! :)

Prices include packing, shipping and handling, no surprises at checkout...no kidding. Important: I only ship within the U.S. at this time.I use USPS and will ship your order within 24 hours of receiving payment (through PayPal). If, for any reason, you are unhappy with your purchase, simply return it (you pay the return postage) and I will give you credit on other merchandise once I receive the item in the same new condition.

      Hanging Flower Baskets

   q hanging flower basket1 s.jpg

I wanted to thank a lady at my bank for her niceness through the year. So, I made her a bouquet of flowers (in conversation
we had talked about lovely hanging baskets of flowers). My gift went over very well I'm happy to say. The miniatures are beautiful to
display on a desk, shelf, anywhere...and it's definitely a bouquet you can give that can last a lifetime. They stand approximately 4 inches tall,
and about 3'' in diameter. Each has multi-colored flowers and foliage,and it's own hand-twisted stand/hanger that I make as well.
$20.00 each

GOBLETS OF FLOWERS

These are a 'formal' bouquet. Perfect for any occasion, for anyone. The goblets are lovely with their aurora borealis finish. Size is approximately 4" tall by 2" in diameter. As is with most of my works, they're all different. You can choose from the following.... please note: what I have posted here is what I have available at this time, and once one is sold, well, it's gone. So, needless to say, if you want one, get it while you can!

Large Angels
My Large Angels are approximately 2 1/2" tall, with a wingspread of about 4" wide. They can be hung on a tree, or anywhere, or
they can stand alone on a desk, or shelf (the skirt is a full circle bell-shape). These are the only two I have available right now. And
because of the large amount of time it takes to make them, it may be quite awhile before I make more!

      Lg. Angel wings down $75.00 Lg. Angel wings up $75.00


      Large Eggs
Each egg has its own flower garden nestled inside. I got as close with the camera as possible so you can see most of the gardens and still see the entire egg....believe it or not the pictures are actually larger than the eggs! which are approximately 3" tall & 2" wide by 2" in diameter. They make beautiful
accents anywhere....you don't have to be an egg collector to enjoy the simple beauty and elegance of these eggs :) I've been told they're very enchanting and highly collectible.
   The price of the Large Eggs is $80.00

approximately 2 1/2" tall by 1 1/2" in diameter. (Pictures are larger than the actual size).
The price of the small Eggs is $75.00

Angels in Flowery Grasses

Plume Grasses....I love plume grasses, tall, strong, plumes of color...just cool. Well, I was waiting for my kids one day, and next to the parking lot were a bunch of Plume Grass. My imagination had some fun....imagine Angels resting on this beautiful Earth amidst some plum grass....and the grasses in all their splender just laying down in a fan of beauty for the Angel! And that my friend, is how I was inspired to make these. Type #1 is ''Cherub Angels" and type #2 is Angels. The Cherubs and Angels are acryllic pieces. They have flat bottoms so you can sit them anywhere, or there is a hanger in the
tops if you'd like to hang them somewhere. I like to use them as package trims so I'm giving a gift on a gift! :) As you can see, there's a rainbow of
colors (the plums). The size varies a little, but it's usually about 4" in diameter and 1" in height.

The price of Angels in Flowery Grasses is $10.00
