Sweet Marie

Alas my Sweet Marie Digital Kit is finally finished!

a perfect reflection of my sweet sugary side

Aren't these sugar sculptures just stunning?!

Here is a breakdown of what you will find in the kit

The perfect kit for a wedding scrapbook!

I was rather surprised by the lack of information on-line

regarding the Lady Elizabeth Compton

in-fact I could not even recover this same portrait

but I was so taken by her beauty that I had to share

In researching for this Kit

I also came across many detailed fashion drawings

in my Libraries clipping files

(for those of you new to my blog... the clipping files are collections of images from books and such that have fallen apart. The sad thing is that they don't document the sources. But it is a great recourse for the local art community of Portland. )

I also wanted to share my small collection of photographs

from my trip to Europe in 2004.

I was so ignorant at the time of what I was really experiencing

it is so unreal now to look back on these snapshots and realize

the history that was played out in Versailles

and that I was able to walk among it's great rooms

and wonder around the paths of the gardens

and in away... see the world through Marie Antoinette eyes.

There is much more I want to show you

but we have had no sun

well I should say - no sun after I am off work

or on the weekends

so as soon as I can I will take some pictures of the Sweet Marie kit as it looks printed

and also I have finished my own wedding scrapbook

and once I figure out how to get it onto my blog I will share that as-well

Have a lovely weekend!
