The ultimate little luxury. Rhinestones are for all women. I have collected some special pieces over the years. Some came from The Brimmfield Antique Market in MA, Some from the New York Flea Market Scene. Enjoy. I may list some of my treasures on Etsy.

New England is in a deep freeze and searching for more seaglass is out of the question. Handling seaglass on these cold winter days takes me back to the place I found it.

She has an opening to attend and wanted something spectacular. She is wearing this with a black riding jacket and lurex jeans. The beads and lace are vintage. The black lace is from a hand made mermaid dress that was worn on New Years Eve to the Limelight in NYC. The lace is going out for an encore.jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-20217130200233872782010-09-17T10:44:00.000-07:002010-09-17T10:51:55.092-07:00A Winter Wedding<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TJOqnSdDHEI/AAAAAAAACTY/mK32RLEYu5o/s1600/DSCN1911.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TJOqnSdDHEI/AAAAAAAACTY/mK32RLEYu5o/s320/DSCN1911.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517941560404286530" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TJOqm9x5LMI/AAAAAAAACTQ/UwMc77gqRf4/s1600/DSCN1909.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TJOqm9x5LMI/AAAAAAAACTQ/UwMc77gqRf4/s320/DSCN1909.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517941554854571202" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TJOqmNF-API/AAAAAAAACTI/WgS0SyPZSPM/s1600/DSCN1907.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TJOqmNF-API/AAAAAAAACTI/WgS0SyPZSPM/s320/DSCN1907.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517941541785436402" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TJOqlhTARcI/AAAAAAAACTA/28w_5_r3--I/s1600/DSCN1903.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TJOqlhTARcI/AAAAAAAACTA/28w_5_r3--I/s320/DSCN1903.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517941530028950978" /></a><br />This Neck Piece is a prototype for a Winter Wedding I am working on. I dug deep into my vintage lace and pearls. I pulled out a box of vintage sequin appliques from Roth Imports. A treasure found in NYC at the Chelsea Flea Market. The box has all original packaging indicating 1092 as the date of origin. Tru 80's Glam. <br /><br />The effect is very romantic and should be worn with a warm ecru strapless dress. The dress is planned to be very simple. No lace or beadwork. A simple beautiful silk shape. Inspired by vintage classic dresses. <br /><br />I love being involved from the start. It gives me a chance to see down the road. This is going to be an elegant candle lit wedding. Warm and glowing.jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-38324574678818924182010-09-16T04:57:00.000-07:002010-09-16T04:58:11.377-07:00This is my next project.

The old mill buildings made from brick have gorgeous old warehouse style windows and wide plank flooring. The waterfall and river actually pass under the mill buildings. The Harrisville Looms are one of my favorite places to sneak away to. Walls and bins of Roving and yarn, not a synthetic anything in sight! You walk in the little retail shop and your hit with the warm scent of wool. <br /><br />My favorite thing is to go to the bin where you can mix your own bag of roving by color. I pull and stuff and think of ideas. I love it!!<br /><br />I rushed home and made some flowers...jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-26364101066240037242010-08-01T16:02:00.001-07:002010-08-01T16:02:49.790-07:00<script src='http://www.craftcult.com/js/shwi.js?c=1709&u=5364348&a=1&f=0&d=0&t=1'></script>jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-30289783891150824962010-07-21T08:06:00.000-07:002010-07-21T08:10:54.904-07:00Bohemian Chic, Charm and Feather Necklaces<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEcNz7lwogI/AAAAAAAACFA/vK3YUdSSh9s/s1600/DSCN0561.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEcNz7lwogI/AAAAAAAACFA/vK3YUdSSh9s/s320/DSCN0561.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496377056049537538" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEcNzllfYRI/AAAAAAAACE4/Wy_cCFjrYHY/s1600/DSCN0564.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEcNzllfYRI/AAAAAAAACE4/Wy_cCFjrYHY/s320/DSCN0564.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496377050142826770" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEcNzTB_1BI/AAAAAAAACEw/Ch9YJcjnXx8/s1600/DSCN0571.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEcNzTB_1BI/AAAAAAAACEw/Ch9YJcjnXx8/s320/DSCN0571.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496377045162120210" /></a><br />Fashion is at a fun place right now. I really relate to bohemian Chic. I love natural materials and gifts from nature. I am trying to think of ways to incorporate the amazing chunks of mica I find around the woods here. I am on a feather kick at the moment. These necklaces are fun to wear because the feathers catch the breeze as you move and since tethered will flutter. The feather makes a nice background for other handmade charms and recycled beads.jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-11657705300398812782010-07-16T06:39:00.000-07:002010-07-16T06:45:30.678-07:00More my style...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiUHLl89I/AAAAAAAACD0/VYQ0ufTdwDs/s1600/DSCN0515.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiUHLl89I/AAAAAAAACD0/VYQ0ufTdwDs/s320/DSCN0515.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494499643056583634" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiUOXMWEI/AAAAAAAACDs/BgXQKf4NDo0/s1600/DSCN0517.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiUOXMWEI/AAAAAAAACDs/BgXQKf4NDo0/s320/DSCN0517.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494499644984285250" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiT1xSB-I/AAAAAAAACDk/4q1jQOqLDRA/s1600/DSCN0514_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiT1xSB-I/AAAAAAAACDk/4q1jQOqLDRA/s320/DSCN0514_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494499638382823394" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiTmET_cI/AAAAAAAACDc/L8jhYsXE41o/s1600/DSCN0516_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiTmET_cI/AAAAAAAACDc/L8jhYsXE41o/s320/DSCN0516_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494499634167676354" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiTbCKZwI/AAAAAAAACDU/Qc8riPWAB7s/s1600/DSCN0518.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TEBiTbCKZwI/AAAAAAAACDU/Qc8riPWAB7s/s320/DSCN0518.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494499631205869314" /></a><br />Second bead project. I am working in my colors. Pearls and white bone. A big clear glass heart bead made from recycled glass. Linen in a tattered and fringed way. I always come back to nature. Soft and romantic. The shape of the dress is yet to come. The chiffon is only gathered and pinned. I know for sure the dress will be backless. working out the other details.<br /><br />I am enjoying beading! Who knew?

Alternative learning. The arts were an every day part of life in our house. Someone was always making a dress or new summer top. I remember making kid suede rose barrettes. They would be perfect with romantic bohemian chic looks. My dad made me a bead loom and drove me to a bead supply house in Boston to purchase giant bags of glass seed beads. I still have those big coffee cans full of beads. I remember trips to Natick Mall to an incredible old school button shop called 'Windsor Button'. Learning new skills was a way of life. <br /><br />I still view summer as the lazy days of experimentation. The pace of life changes... (not slowing down, just different) I find myself on road trips to towns and cities I don't usually get to during the busy school year. I find evenings filled with more down time, and no check lists of school work or projects that must be completed. I cherish those evenings and view them as my time. I am using my free time this week to try my hand at beadwork. I am working on turquoise suede and using my spare glass bead collection. <br /><br />Any critiques, advice or helpful tips are welcome! I hope to finish this cuff bracelet by the weekend.jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-11618908334669939182010-07-04T16:09:00.000-07:002010-07-04T16:19:47.560-07:00I found an ancient Butterfly Book!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TDEW9VueplI/AAAAAAAACBw/oQRHWVZJih4/s1600/DSCN0212.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TDEW9VueplI/AAAAAAAACBw/oQRHWVZJih4/s320/DSCN0212.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490194663801267794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TDEW9Al6J1I/AAAAAAAACBo/RcxnF8Tweck/s1600/DSCN0210.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TDEW9Al6J1I/AAAAAAAACBo/RcxnF8Tweck/s320/DSCN0210.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490194658128176978" /></a><br />The pages were falling out. Someone loved it dearly. Pencil and pen marks point to species that have been found and identified. I love a well worn and loved book. I found the owners own attempt at drawing the butterflies tucked inside the book. I think I will frame it even though it is torn and water stained. I also found a 'golden' butterfly and moth book from 1942, a 'field guide'.<br /><br />I made this pendant from the field guide. The other antique book may be a potential for restoration.jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-12569495583730988962010-06-12T14:40:00.000-07:002010-06-12T14:47:25.356-07:00Found Objects...Jodi French=Nature Girl<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAYSCXJLI/AAAAAAAAB9U/A2Wtst2z700/s1600/DSCN9843.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAYSCXJLI/AAAAAAAAB9U/A2Wtst2z700/s320/DSCN9843.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482007063575340210" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAX4XZQjI/AAAAAAAAB9M/9b8KDHHh974/s1600/DSCN9827.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAX4XZQjI/AAAAAAAAB9M/9b8KDHHh974/s320/DSCN9827.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482007056684237362" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAXUn9_OI/AAAAAAAAB9E/tflz4kojzTQ/s1600/DSCN9831.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAXUn9_OI/AAAAAAAAB9E/tflz4kojzTQ/s320/DSCN9831.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482007047090076898" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAW9SoBWI/AAAAAAAAB88/i0C6v2rB7nw/s1600/DSCN9838.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAW9SoBWI/AAAAAAAAB88/i0C6v2rB7nw/s320/DSCN9838.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482007040826541410" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAWZA9I9I/AAAAAAAAB80/z-QOYs5YM5c/s1600/DSCN9840.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/TBQAWZA9I9I/AAAAAAAAB80/z-QOYs5YM5c/s320/DSCN9840.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482007031088751570" /></a><br />My entire life...I have been a nature girl. I'm still like a little kid. Rescuing the little orange newts off the road. Waiting at the top of a chipmunk hole for him to think it's safe. I just love the outdoors. Wherever I go I am always picking up 'things'. A piece of metal, run over by cars. Feathers or bones I find in the woods. Sea shells and glass at the beach. River rocks or mica... it all comes home.<br /><br />I have started pulling out my boxes of treasures. I am loving the Bohemian Chic movement.

The mossy green appeals to me. I was worried what the bride would think because moss actually varies so greatly in color. This is a 'true' New Hampshire moss color. Touches of red and a forest green. The flowers are enhanced with hand painting, really I should call it hand-staining. I let the water carry the color onto the petals. Each girl will be wearing 5 of these in up-swept hair.

We found a cute boyfriend style jacket and she wanted some of my vintage lace on it. She loved the outcome. Then she suggested to me that I should offer 'appliques' for people to update and restyle their current wardrobe. I thought it sounded like a fun idea. So trying it out on Etsy and at a local fair. <br />Would love to hear your thoughts...jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-37642371467285464632010-04-13T06:20:00.000-07:002010-04-13T06:26:48.745-07:00Heirloom Bouquet Jodi French<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S8RxDBSsULI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/a_1O56bhQiI/s1600/DSCN8865.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S8RxDBSsULI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/a_1O56bhQiI/s320/DSCN8865.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459612944980267186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S8RxCrILGwI/AAAAAAAAB1I/9cuXQwK_uCM/s1600/DSCN8859.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S8RxCrILGwI/AAAAAAAAB1I/9cuXQwK_uCM/s320/DSCN8859.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459612939030567682" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S8RxCe-aGII/AAAAAAAAB1A/i3h_fLl2HGY/s1600/DSCN8864.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S8RxCe-aGII/AAAAAAAAB1A/i3h_fLl2HGY/s320/DSCN8864.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459612935768381570" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S8RxCK9bUII/AAAAAAAAB04/dqFc_db41EE/s1600/DSCN8861.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S8RxCK9bUII/AAAAAAAAB04/dqFc_db41EE/s320/DSCN8861.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459612930395558018" /></a><br />I have been asked to create a fabric bouquet for the woodland wedding. I am working in a mix of textures... taffeta, crepe, chiffon, and satin. The colors are a range of ecru and ivory tones. Each flower is dotted in the center with a cluster of black jet beads. The bouquet is going to have a handle of willow branches and tendrils of grapevine. I have started wiring the flowers to form the arrangement, only to realize I need to make many, many more! The wedding is early summer, better get to work.jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-33626038536502744072010-03-25T07:40:00.000-07:002010-03-25T07:46:30.229-07:00I found some of the glass beads I made in College<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S6t3PZq9yUI/AAAAAAAABxc/hOVcwHLuno0/s1600/DSCN8706.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S6t3PZq9yUI/AAAAAAAABxc/hOVcwHLuno0/s320/DSCN8706.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452582880334956866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S6t3PIQC4XI/AAAAAAAABxU/iOt_P9p4eaU/s1600/DSCN8705.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S6t3PIQC4XI/AAAAAAAABxU/iOt_P9p4eaU/s320/DSCN8705.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452582875658641778" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S6t3OhfiWtI/AAAAAAAABxM/Qogzv56FbmM/s1600/DSCN8702.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S6t3OhfiWtI/AAAAAAAABxM/Qogzv56FbmM/s320/DSCN8702.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452582865254636242" /></a><br />Mass College of Art was so amazing. Alfred Fiandaca taught Fashion Design and it was a magic episode in the schools history. A friend taught me how to make beads. I would love to have access to the equipment again, it is really fun to do. This bead reminds me of the ice found in nature. Little flecks of black and bubbles caught as the water froze.jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-24810902550707322492010-03-16T09:25:00.000-07:002010-03-16T09:32:18.810-07:00New Hampshire Woodland Wedding<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-yiDxrx1I/AAAAAAAABvA/C2PE2w6pQ64/s1600-h/DSCN8459.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-yiDxrx1I/AAAAAAAABvA/C2PE2w6pQ64/s320/DSCN8459.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449270372340582226" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-yhEPxlsI/AAAAAAAABu4/aB4Yvd5uYXg/s1600-h/DSCN8468.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-yhEPxlsI/AAAAAAAABu4/aB4Yvd5uYXg/s320/DSCN8468.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449270355286922946" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-ygKrDBOI/AAAAAAAABuw/UTbgs2lIFb8/s1600-h/DSCN8464.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-ygKrDBOI/AAAAAAAABuw/UTbgs2lIFb8/s320/DSCN8464.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449270339832055010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-yfhmNqlI/AAAAAAAABuo/8eoVJz3LGb8/s1600-h/DSCN8461.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-yfhmNqlI/AAAAAAAABuo/8eoVJz3LGb8/s320/DSCN8461.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449270328805927506" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-yez_Yx1I/AAAAAAAABug/28-M5DGQQOA/s1600-h/DSCN8462.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5-yez_Yx1I/AAAAAAAABug/28-M5DGQQOA/s320/DSCN8462.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449270316563482450" /></a><br />I am work on a Vintage Wedding here in New Hampshire. The site will be 'The Cathedral of the Pines' a very beautiful woodsy outdoor setting. The vibe for the entire wedding is vintage. The Bride will be wearing a very simple vintage ecru strapless dress. The dress has a very 'Vintage Dior' silhouette. The bride has naturally curly hair, a long thin neck, and beautiful smooth ivory skin. She is wearing her hair up with tendrils falling around. I am making three neck pieces for her to choose from. here is the first one...jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837953630309366638.post-28619713113835471672010-03-12T05:57:00.000-08:002010-03-12T06:09:17.239-08:00All Things Nature, Botanicals and the Tides<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKxF2aohI/AAAAAAAABuY/ZgQZq92q6lM/s1600-h/DSCN8321.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKxF2aohI/AAAAAAAABuY/ZgQZq92q6lM/s320/DSCN8321.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447748906502496786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKw3-BO5I/AAAAAAAABuQ/EI-WaGMxeBo/s1600-h/DSCN8357.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKw3-BO5I/AAAAAAAABuQ/EI-WaGMxeBo/s320/DSCN8357.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447748902776290194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKwf2S7gI/AAAAAAAABuI/wQ4LVYTuwEM/s1600-h/DSCN8359.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKwf2S7gI/AAAAAAAABuI/wQ4LVYTuwEM/s320/DSCN8359.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447748896301444610" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKwHGsoJI/AAAAAAAABuA/m70FOC4___Y/s1600-h/DSCN8323_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKwHGsoJI/AAAAAAAABuA/m70FOC4___Y/s320/DSCN8323_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447748889659351186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKv2qDPyI/AAAAAAAABt4/lwvngQOzhQo/s1600-h/DSCN8322.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jr42TiktaLc/S5pKv2qDPyI/AAAAAAAABt4/lwvngQOzhQo/s320/DSCN8322.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447748885244231458" /></a><br />I am truly a nature girl. I have always spent as many waking hours out of doors as possible. I have been blessed with a gypsy lifestyle that allows me to live in very diverse and dramatic natural settings. For some reason I always seem to be in the right place at the right time. I have seen manta rays 5 feet across, pods of killer whales, mother and baby manatees, an eagle swooping into a lake to grab a fish in it's talons. These are a few memories from the past years in Florida. <br /><br />I currently live in the shadow of Monadnock, in a small village with a very European flavor. We have a gorgeous mountain lake and beautiful natural surroundings. The nature here is on a much gentler scale. I walk every morning around a trail called Boulder Run. I have seen fox, deer and bear. I am currently watching the world up here waking up from it's winter sleep... The first flickers of animal life were the little chipmunks. They are running around very busy. The sun is coming up a tiny bit earlier every day. <br /><br />Happy Spring is on the way.jodi french paper artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15365421483185083887noreply@blogger.com4
