Oooo a “Sparkly!”

Hello Darlings! I was thinking to myself today how much I am attracted to and enthralled by anything sparkling and shiny. Whether diamonds, crystals, rhinestones or glitter, I cannot help but be transfixed by the way light reflects and refracts from it.

I remember when I was a little girl one of my favorite animated features was The Secret of Nimh. In the film, one of the characters is a klutzy crow (one of my favorite birds) named Jeremy.  In one particular scene he is hypnotized by a magical sparkling locket…and I immediately recognized crows to be one of my spirit animals, ha ha!

In any case, I have found myself making some new items for the shop and noticed how much sparkle I have been adding to some of my latest creations.  I made some pretty bracelets using rhinestones, cabochons, crystals, and yes, glitter. (You can never have too much glitter, Darlings!) I hope you enjoy them, I enjoyed making them and adding a bit of happy to them.

Hello Darlings, Madame X here…hoping you are enjoying the start of a new Spring full of possibilities and dreams. This time of year has me brimming with ideas and hopes. The past month brought friends from out of town, a mischievous moon and focusing on getting some new and pretty things into the online shop.  On my day trips, I picked up some lovely beads, boas and flowers. I’ve incorporated a melange of bright and pretty colors into a variety of bracelets.

My creations are always such diametrically different combinations.  I can never decide whether to go with soft pastel hues, such as pink and lavender, or classic black and white…so…I did it all!  I love the brightness of reds/hot pink, the tranquil turquoise paired with sparkling rhinestones and the morose black glass with skulls playing alongside them.

Show and Tell!

Hello Darlings! It is my sincere hope that you are enjoying a FAB-ulous day no matter where you are.

The past few weeks Madame X has been laying low and working behind the scenes to create  some precocious pretty pieces for the shop.  Sometimes, it takes quite a bit of caffeine and mad sketch sessions to come up with ideas and inspiration.  Once I do happen upon the chosen project, I go into “zen” mode, both an intense but meditative focus on churning out whatever whim the muse has led me to, be it a hat, illustration, poem or garment.

Darlings, at present I find myself surrounded by the prettiest lace, buttons, glitter, ribbons and tulle…sometimes I’m not sure if I’m in the boudoir or my work room!  Every day I encounter a melange of colors, textures and the magic that is my imagination…white lace and striped ribbon?  pink mesh and yellow flowers? black with red tartan? pearls and feathers? crystals and fringe?  Decisions, decisions!

These are two newly finished pieces, one is a lovely citrine lace panty with tulle and satin bows, the other a baby blue one with lace panel and pink tulle mesh and flowers.  I know they will both go to lovely ladies who seek a unique, fun look!

Whatever the final look, you can find them in the shop soon, so keep your eyes open, and when you look for fun, frilly, romantic pieces, come see me Darlings!
