UNRELEASED - Peacock Blues

This one is the final dress for the show with a total of 11. This one is another unique and unusual design and the flexi is interesting and the texture is a beautiful back of a peacock. Peacocks and thier feathers were quite popular in Hollywood in the 1910's and 20's and I have updated it but also imagined Gloria Swanson wearing it - bet she would have :)

UNRELEASED - Theda Bara

You would be amazed at where I got this texture and what it really is! It is a irridescent beetle and the minute I saw it I knew it would be a perfect Theda Bara dress - who would have thought it? Me - I am crazy but the result is fantastic along with all the jewelry!

Charleston Flapper - GROUP GIFT 7/21/08

Here is this weeks group gift and it goes along with the theme of Hollywood - the Charleston Flapper. The texture is from another 1920's flapper dress and it reminded me of the movie Our Dancing Daughters with Joan Crawford and Anita Page - I am lucky enough to have one of my own original pastels signed by Ms. Page before she died. They always seemed they wore pink and this is my interpretation of those dresses. Enjoy!

UNRELEASED - The Vamp

A femme fatale character in movies or books. The character is a woman who, while not necessarily attractive, has a certain allure (usually this striking, exotic, overtly sexy glamour), and is usually a heartless, man-eating seductress. The term is short for vampire, another term for a femme fatale.
In drama, the vamp is the sexual counterpoint for the naive, wholesome ingenue character. The sultry lower voice of the mezzo-soprano is usually reserved for the vamp character in musicals or opera.

The ultimate silent screen vamp was Theda Bara. This is a spin off from Theda who is the greatest all-time vamp.

UNRELEASED - Harlow

One word is enough - Harlow - this is a lovely texture from a 1920's dress and I have accented it with art deco jewels at front and back with earrings in topaz and gold jewels. Totally elegant and so Harlow.

UNRELEASED - Oscar Night

This is another texture that was from a hat from the 1920's and it is full of gold sequins! Appropriate dress for Oscar Night don't you think?

Cuba

When I found this texture it has hand beading and is from around the 50's and all I could think of was how everyone went to Cuba in the 1950's as if it were a resort. So here it is - Cuba :)
