Christian Dior Meets Fanciful

Did you know....

Christian Dior

contacted

Fanciful Designs?

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

at Christian Dior

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

Christian Dior Parfums

in Paris France~

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

French Paper Wigs

A paper artist & teacher, Jeffery Rudell was invited to
do a window display on 5th Ave in New York
for Tiffany & Co.
He visioned elaborate wigs of
Mid-18th Century France
as his focal point~

Instead of powdered hair these wigs are
hand crafted with
Handmade French Paper...
Each one is a sea of rolling curls and
piled a high 36 inches tall!

Jeff's challenge was finding a way to
create volume without weight
to sculpture pieces that look light & airy.

He imagined and created
fanciful shapes like this
violin & harp
to top the curls~
another with a songbird.

Jeffery Rudell was also invited to do
another window for
Tiffany & Co. for Mother's Day
with a theme of
"Queen For A Day"
He made Paper Crowns~~
Photos of Jeffery's work were all taken
by Katherine Knauer.
I could not find a website direct for
Jeffery Rudell.
If anyone knows it please let me know~
