Studio Slice #19

A whirl of color, almost like candy. Happy Halloween!

Studio Slice #18

Expensive sticks. 8 and 10ft lengths of moulding for picture frames propped up in the corners. When not in use, they make good supports for spider webs.

Studio Slice #17

Collaged background on a new piece, I love this part.

Paper Dolls on Sale!

Hi folks! Do you hear that? The subtle growling? That scratching noise? That would be the wolf at our door. He usually hangs out near the end of our driveway, but we'd like to send him off for a little while. So here are our sacrificial lambs (talk about mixing metaphors.)

Five of my favorite Paper Dolls, all on sale at $120 each from the regular price of $145. With free shipping anywhere in the USA or Canada.

See one that would brighten your day? Send me an email at kallencole@aol.com First come first serve of course!

Here is #1, a sweet swinging dress made with an East Coast map, and tiny stitched seed beads.
Sorry this one has **sold**



Paper Doll #2 is a groovy A-line from the '60's with a pouf of fabulous trim and a great vintage button.



#3 is one of the few little girl dresses I've done like this. With a line of "smocking" and the tiniest button I've ever seen. Perfect for a baby shower gift!





#4 is a great dress showing off the NOLA area, with a nautical themed button.
(And it just **sold** yay!)




And dress #5 is all about the glitz, shiny silver, with vintage cut glass buttons. The embroidery thread is a deep plum. Go on, add a little drama to your life, (the good kind!)



All of these pieces are matted in acid free mats, with spacers to accommodate the buttons when they are framed. They are all shrink wrapped. Any questions? Let me know.

A glimpse out the front window. I spend a lot of time looking out windows.

Studio Slice #15

Part of the ongoing process to keep all my bits together.

Studio Slice #14

Just a little something I'm working on today.

Studio Slice #13

Art supplies in the "Mosaic Studio" on the side porch.

Studio Slice #12

A collection of Scott's watercolors waiting to be framed.

Studio Slice 11

In case you've been wondering what's happening with the new series Scott and I will be working on together. "Just Desserts" will debut soon, but in the meantime here is an assortment of goodies, finished and not, currently on the drawing board.

Studio Slice #10

A hint of things to come.

Studio Slice #9

Some days it's about the big picture, other days, it's small stuff.

Studio Slice #8

A good find.

Studio Slice #7

One of the many cool things I love about this crazy artist lifestyle is getting to trade with neighbors at shows. Seth Fitts was my neighbor this weekend, and I love this little mixed media collage. Beginning with an old photo of a dog standing on his doghouse he added graphite, acrylic, and text. I hope you don't mind me reproducing this without your permission Seth!

Studio Slice #6

I like this composition, how the vertical lines on the cups and the upc code move your eye back to the buttons.

Studio Slice #5

This may be kinda fun?

Studio Slice #4

Not everything has to make sense.

Studio Slice #3

Just a few things hanging around.

I have come up with a new little exercise for myself, a way of keeping in touch with you, and to hopefully keep this blog fresh and interesting. I'll be post a new little photo, a fragment of life inside my studio, almost every day. And when I paint something worthy of a whole blog, I'll slip that in too. So here we go, Studio Slice #1.
