Frayed Linen Cuff with Roses- Jodi French





Loving the fabric cuff! This look works with a flounce skirt and cowboy boots, or with a slinky black dress. I love fashion that dresses up or down. The cuff has brown taffeta roses dotted with vintage pearls in the center. The linen has a black and tan plaid, edges are fringed by hand. Jodi French

Sand Lotus Flower






Working on an evening look for a very special night in LA. Sexy but yet sophisticated. Dramatic but still elegant. This is a first effort, wondering if I should add a little more sparkle? The dress is a strapless black and fitted.

Vintage Flowers, Heirloom Corsage






These flowers are over 40 years old. They are from Europe and travelled to this country with my mother when she came to start her family here in America. The flowers have been packed away carefully. I took them apart and stitched in layers. I added some vintage pearls into the center cups. The flowers were mounted onto vintage bias tape in soft pink.

The look is sweet and simple. The flowers have a true vintage feeling.

Sea Pottery from the coast of Scotland




This Sea Pottery was found on the coast of Scotland. I have about 2 lbs. of treasures to work with. I want to use them for pendants and mosaics. They all have been smoothed by the waves of the North Sea. The pottery shards come from shipwrecks and other fantastical events of the past. I love to hold them up to the light and imagine...

Summer Wedding in Australia








The Bride chose my Chiffon Vintage Roses. The choker is an Heirloom Corsage, made form vintage fabric and beads. She chose this piece to be worn with a strapless gown. I hope she is pinning her hair up in loose curls.

I always forget, when it is cold and snowy here, it is summer over there!
