Delightful News of Late


My faux fur stole is featured on the cover of the third volume of Pinnacle magazine!  I couldn't be happier with the styling and photo.  Love that birch tree wallpaper too.  I think it would be quite wonderful if I could cover my entire apartment in it...
Anyways, back to the magazine!  I had written about it previously here, but you should really go check out the full online edition on the official website.  There is some really great art, including a wooden piece overlayed with prints of Chinchillas, titled 'x10' by Christopher Lees of Wooden Coasters.  Word on the street is that there will be a bunch of these glossy magazines being handed out at New York fashion week!


The second exciting project I have been working on is a full scale peacock for JoAnn Fabrics to introduce their fall line of products... featuring peacocks, of course!  This is the largest Horrible Adorable I have made yet.  Look to scaled image above.  The bird ended up being approximately 3 feet tall, but it's ornate train is even longer.  


I enjoyed putting in all the flowery details and meshing their concept with my stylized approach.  


Perhaps this curious bird will make an appearance at Crafty Bastards in Washington DC.  I suppose it just depends on if he will be comfortable with the room I have left in my car!  Toting so many boxes and display pieces is a problem I encounter with every show, but hopefully it can be solved with a new super collapsible display board.


Cheers!

Pinnacle: Reinvent The Icon


'PINNACLE: Reinvent The Icon' is an anti-fur fashion and art initiative.  I was contacted a month or so ago to contribute a piece of art to them to promote their cause.  Their magazine is shocking and beautifully photographed, bringing awareness to the cruelty that exists within the fur industry.  You can check out their full online edition here.  


I created a wearable faux fur stole made from eco-felt in the 'Horrible Adorables' style.  I am so happy to be part of this, as I am a huge supporter of animal rights!  I'm sure that this creature will have some adventures to share after hanging around the necks of many awesome people.  I'll keep you updated!
