Autumn Posies

I've really enjoyed making these five flowered scarves.  The colors of this scarf are spot on for early autumn. I will be donating this one to the Crime Stoppers Cops, Robbers and Superheroes event next weekend.  

I decided to donate a piece to any charity auction I can find... just to get my art and my name out there.  

My art all falls under my umbrella of: Gigi! artful endeavors. 

 One day I will open my gallery under the same name.  

Dandy-lion

No, I have not forgotten my "Painting a Day" project.  This is proof that I did paint one day. 

Memories of dandelions make me smile!

Mother of the bride

For my daughter's wedding in September, I wore a cobalt blue dress, with a butterfly embellished wrap.  I created a small clutch bag to coordinate the ensemble.  Inspired by the butterflies, but not wanting everything to be too matchy-matchy (I hear that's a bad thing), I deconstructed the butterfly and made it abstract and diluted the intense cobalt hue to a more muted periwinkle.  

The one-of-a-kind bag is hand painted and lined with a velcro closure.

I'd rather be blue, thinking of you!

Blue flowers in silk.  This was my first official Gigi! artful endeavor.  I donated this painted scarf to a charity auction benefiting the local Children's Developmental Center.
