It's here...It's here !!

The long anticipated "Marie" by Stampington has hit the bookshelves. It's so exciting...the artwork is simply incredible. This is the real deal people...just flipping thru this magazine will knock your socks off. There are mixed media pieces, crowns, cakes, a number of collaborated projects, jewelry, art dolls and more! Here is a little preview. I can't show you too much...you need to go buy the magazine. It is one you will look at repeatedly and keep by your bedside table. I promise.

Here is a romantic mixed media piece by Iva. Simply divine.

And of course...what would a Queen be without a glittery crown. This phenomenal shadow box is by the sweet Donna O'Brien. There is a 5 page spread with more artwork of hers. I told you...you want to own this magazine.

And a Marie doll made by me. I have to shout out some credit on this piece. Originally, I had NO intention of making a Marie doll. The husband was recovering from his illness and I was so busy playing nurse. I had just moved my studio and wasn't quite settled and to be honest...I just wasn't in the mood. But Mz. Iva. Oh that Mz. Iva...every time I chatted with her it was Marie this, Marie that...aren't you going to make a Marie doll? no...no....NO! But she was so excited...constantly. After hearing about this "'Marie magazine for days on end I figured what the heck. And bless her heart. It was exactly what I needed to get back into the creating groove after the husbands health scare. I had so much fun making her and I used fabrics and trims from some great trips I have taken that have wonderful memories. So thank you my dear sweet friend. You are the best!
I also want to thank the team at Stampington. After looking thru this magazine I am dumbfounded that they would include my piece. I am so honored to be included with this caliber of artists.

This is one of my favorite pieces in the magazine. That rich ribbon and gorgeous lace. I just want to eat it up. Artwork is by Holly Abston.

And another incredible art piece by Heather Kowalski.

So there is a little sneak peek and some of the impressive artwork within the pages of Marie. Now get to the bookstore!!
