Mademoiselle Edith

Welcome to my first OOAK offerings of 2008! I've been very busy with reroot commissions, in addition to everything else that happened, but it's good to be back in the swing of things. I'm thrilled with how these girls turned out...definitely some of my favorites.

She has received a full reroot with KatSilk saran hair in a blend called 'Burnt Orange'. She has also received a full repaint, using artist-quality acrylics which have been sealed for protection. Her orange tulle veil is also removable, should you wish to display her without it. The suit is constructed from 100% silk Thai brocade, fully lined with an irridescent silk shantung and was fully handsewn with silk thread. Fully removable - fastenings are hook & silk thread eyes. Silk & organza ribbon detailing.

Her purse is made from Japanese delica beads woven off-loom...the purse alone took several hours to make. The chain is 14k gold. Her stunning necklace is made from 14k gold chain, 14k gold-filled headpins, Sterling Silver jump rings & genuine Swarovski crystals. There are approximately 85 crystals in a multitude of colors - the list of shades is as follows: Silk, Light Colorado Topaz, Light Topaz, Sun, Red Topaz, Fire Opal, Indian Red, Aurum, Smoked Topaz, Smoky Quartz, Dorado, Tabac, Olivine AB, Turquoise, Turquoise AB2X. The materials alone cost over $30! To finish her look, she wears Golden, glittery open-toe mules by Dressmaker Details.

La Fille Jolie

Her chapeau is made from wire mesh, silk, ostrich feathers & Swarovski flatback AB crystals. Jewelry is made from Sterling Silver findings & Swarovski crystals and her purse is made from Japanese delica beads, woven off-loom.

Hello & Welcome to what may be a temporary home, or may end up incorporated in to my website overhaul. Right now, I'm finishing up some new creations, playing around with this blog, as well as working on the new & improved 'Wide Eyed Girls' website, which will involve a move to a new server, hopefully a new & improved Rerooting guide, with videos & sound, instead of still pictures, simpler navigation & pared down galleries. In addition, there will be a new "feel" to the site, of which you can get a taste by checking out the new banner at the top of this page. I will leave you with a sneak peek at the new OOAKs who should be available tomorrow...as of now, they're still a work in progress, so subject to minor changes. The finished versions will be posted here on the blog  - you'll get an email from me if you're on my first-to-know site letting you know when they're up. As I am unable to edit my website at the moment, it's doubtful they'll make it to the salesroom proper, but they will be available for purchase nonetheless.
