Little Fairy Ciara

Carla did a photoshoot a few months back for a first bithday party for a little lady named Ciara. The theme of her party was Tinkerbell hence the outfit and wings.

Here are some images of us feverishly working on a yellow n' pink creation for this beautiful little fairy



There's carla prepping the canvas, she so intense!





There is my ugly old lady hand starting to make the greenery of fairyland





There I am again mimicing carla in all her intesity ;)




Getting closer- we highlighted the wings with glitter to add to the fairy appeal, and molded the tree out of self drying clay which we plan on painting and making look more rustic. We also added some mosy stuff to the tree and left some hanging for that deep woods fairy land look.. and the final result!!





DRUM ROLLLLLLLLLL



Isn't it beautiful! the picture doesn't even began to show the detail very well but we really are over joyed with the end result. We ended up adding some purple glitter flowers and some moss to the bottom for a little girl fairy effect.We also added her name in silver wire as a ribbon style swing hanging from the tree.

The frame around the YP creation is the ONE picture frame we ended up buying at the thrift store the day we found all the other stuff in the last blog. We didn't end up having enough time to go look around at other stores for a more elaborate original one but this one still has that vintage, antique feel we were aiming for.

How do you all like the finished product? anything you would have added or taken away?

OH the joy of Vintage

The cold and rainy weather almost ruined the weekend THEN there it was our saviour- The Giving tree thrift store ;)!

I'll admit we originally went simply to find a unique looking picture frame to photography some of our artwork(you will be seeing in a near future post) and instead came home with all these wonderful goodies! We couldn't resist.



we plan to use this in a photography shoot soon and we will keep it around for future studio shoots. Doesn't it kinda make you want to break down just so you can be seen walking down the road in all your dire straits(sp) in your adorable vintage dress with your thumb hanging out showing a little leg?? haha okay so maybe a little carried away but we do love it!



Since I have recently changed my dull kitchen(I will fulfill my promise and show you the results) to shades of foam greens to deep blues and many things in between Carla grabbed this cookie jar and screamed my name in excitement and I almost faited..okay so I have a flare for the dramatic..teehee
We found the matchboxes cleverly hidden in a PUZZLE box mixed in with all the tiny puzzle pieces as well as that box of cards. They all seem to be from here in the Tucson, az area dated from the early 50's. We hope to be able to create a tantilizing art piece with them.

The great thing is that all the workers notice our ever so excited selves and started walking around the store and going to the back and bringing us all these wonderful little vintage goodies.




We will use this for carrying around our order forms and business cards and what not to future vending events( yes we justify every purchase and find a use)



Okay speechless!!



This too will go in my kitchen once I find a good spot for it



I gasped LOUDLY when we found this. Carla was actually pointing at something right in front of it that we were making fun of and our eyes were drawn up to this perfect hatbox in the most amazing condition..I did not gasp alone! haha

By this time we are walking around arms full and thrift store employees bringing things by for our approval..haha How is that for service!



lastly, we found all these random bits of vintage fabric which we plan to make a plethora of things with , flowers, belts, bows and of course a skirt or two how could we resist!
(we will be posting the results)

I hope you gasped a time or two seeing these wonderful finds!

** What has been your favorite Thrift store find**???

Arizona Voodoo Kittens Mini fashion show

Okay so first off we want to apologize for yet again lagging on our posts.. ugg..we are a work in progress. Also, we will get back to you on the jean and rope inspirations as we were distracted by other things such as you will see in this post!



So there I am (YELLOW-sonya, not to be confused with Red Sonya ;)) or as I am known in the Arizona voodoo kitten world Lola Delish.. catchy ain't it. I am wearing one of our sequin headbands.. so stunning in person! A MUST SEE but an even MUST WEAR! you are sure to get a compliment while doing so.

anyhoo we had mini fashion show to show off some of the crafty things us gals can make and here are pictures of some of the hair accessories we conjured up! lately, for some reason I have birds on my brain, transformed my kitchen to a nest ( I will post a pic soon) and everytime I see a birdcage, photo of a bird or a feather I am in a mad dash to either buy, redesign or create something birdish. I think it all started with my husband getting a dove tattoo( a pic I will also post with the kitchen pic) so I blame him..anyhoo back to the point. Being in this bird phase we created some feather fascinators for the fashion show. I think they are beautiful what do you think??




The beautiful Star modeling our red ribbon and black feather flower( for some reason the black feathers are not visible) but it is beautiful. We actually made this exact flower a few months ago for a bride and she look so fabulous in it.




The ever magnificent Cricket modeling the red and black feather fascinator..eye catching huh? we have added a sequin circle for some sparkle ;)



The dangerous Crystal Gunz: modeling our peacock feather fascinator with gem for the added sparkle.. gotta love the sparkle ;)



And there we are the four of us sporting our beautiful designs..
Thanks to my mother in law for that STUNNING Vintage dress which I love to bits and pieces. She gave me a few others that I plan to wear and post in blogs to come.

Would love to hear what you think of our hair accessories featured here.
