Christian Dior Meets Fanciful

Did you know....
contacted

I know some of you
already heard this news...
but I want to take this opportunity
to make a
Very Special Tribute
to my daughter
Noel at Fanciful Designs~
because
I AM
So Proud Of Her!!

Noel, known for her detailed eye
and French paper art
mostly in shoes & flowers
was contacted by the head art director
to make samples of flowers for their
new packaging designs~
See her complete story HERE~

She rose to the occasion and delivered.
So this means
I can now share with you
a few of the images
of the actual samples
she sent to
in Paris France~


A rose~


An open rose ~


Detail of the rose~


A dove gray daisy~


Each flower was placed in
it's own separate box~
It was a positively beautiful
presentation!



I told Noel that the
real gift for her is the gift of
recognition
she has been given.
Her art was considered
by one of the most prestigious
&
well known designers
in this world~

The most interesting thing to me is that
Christian Dior, Chanel & Paris

have always been

Noel's greatest inspiration

behind her art...

I never knew her vision was focused so precisely~


CONGRATULATIONS

NOEL!!!


Mauh Mauh Mauh's my Scoop!!!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

&

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!

XO's
