time, yes is the answer. I've had this site for quite some time and I am forever updating it with my latest creations.
I have the constant, on-going sketch book that holds my ideas, the mental checklist and the wall in my kitchen is painted
with chalkboard paint so that on a whim I can sketch out my thoughts, ideas and people to contact... Here is where I will answer some of your questions, please
contact me if these did not cover the subject you are curious about.... Yes, it bears repeating!!! Bride's bouquet * Bridesmaid's bouquets* Flower girl's bouquets

arrangements Home Center pieces, curtain tie backs, anything you can think of for Vintage Home Decor. Fashion accessories,
totes, purses, clutches, rosary bags. All of the items you see on my site are made exclusively by me, Michele. Which
is enormously beneficial to you since I am easy to reach, easy to work with, my imagination , my talents,
my access to all sorts of neat things....all this and fantastic, "sympathetic pricing," too. Regarding my 'talent' comment above, I'm actually a pretty humble person. "TALENT" is subjective, relative and
based on one's own perspective and expectations. I use the word solely based upon customer's comments, opinions of collgues,
my mother's biasedness, the blessings of God, Himself and a LOT of blood, sweat, tears that I've used to build this business.
I really don't know the meaning of quit or can't. Ask anybody that's ever met me. For good or bad I'm in
my own world. I do things my own way. I am a little accentric and strange and I'm okay with me. Can I wrap
my head around other people's ideas? Absolutely. Why not??
Allergies
to polyester, rayon and viscose...yes,
I can certainly avoid those materials. Using cotton, hand dyed silk, dupioni silk, acrylics and there are still other
materials that are easily found to make your exact ideas become the safe, beautiful reality that you have so craved.
I am continuing my research in this and if anyone would like to comment on this, please feel free to do so. Going Green these
days? I am all for this planet, too. Of course there are no pesticides used in the creation of my flowers,
which I know is an obvious point, but still bears mentioning. In the past couple of weeks we have been bombarded in
the news with the controversies of carbon emmissions, green house gases and who and what is to blame for these dangers to
our planet and our lives in general. We are all going to be forced to make changes in our lives whether we want to or
not. This was my (first) motivation for learning to make flowers out of ribbon. I do love real flowers.
I love digging up the weeds in my yard with my hands and garden tools just because actually most of them pull up rather easily.
But, really, if I can put my head on my pillow at night and know that I am not contaminating any soil or polluting the air
because I am creating a bouquet of flowers for a bride. Plus, she gets to keep these flowers forever. They don't need
watering, won't aggrivate nasal allerigies and they certainly will not need to be chemically prevserved. "Can you make...?" There really isn't much, quite honestly, that
I don't do creatively. I also enjoy mosaics. I have quite a few pices of furniture in my home that I have refurbished.
Some of these are straight mosaics (using broken tiles) and the majority of the pieces are created with Shardart. Shardart,
basically uses broken plates and "found" items, like pennies or cashew shells or sea glass. I also enjoy sculpting
with papier mach'e mash, making what I call "my ugly heads." Very much Monty Python inspired. I have
also created my "Old Man Drinking Coffee" using several different types of foam; mostly Styrofoam and building
material foam and even some sign carving foam (high density). He is fully clothed in a tweed coat, shirt, pants, socks,
shoes, the pants have belt loops and he is wearing glasses. His hair is made of unraveled twine. But my focus
has been my flowers for the past 5 years. Customizing includes...Types of flowers
sizes, quantities, a different era, a slight change or a HUGE alteration to an existing piece (whether I made it or you found
it online by another artist). Yes, I can do it. And I'll bet I can do it for much Less ($$) than the competition.
I have a page coming very soon for DESIGNER KNOCK
OFFS. I have no doubt
that I can make it. Yesterday I saw on the cover of Marie Claire magazine (Dec/Jan issue?) Natalie Portman wearing a
beautiful dress with a large flower on the waist. On the inside, near the article, she was wearing a similar dress and
flower only in a different color. I can make that flower, too. ** Feathered bracelets, boas,
necklaces, sure and I have somewhat already. See my 2009 Weddings page. The feathered headband was specifically
asked to look that way, by the mother of the groom who purchased and designed it. She did ask for my input, which of
course I did give her, but I allowed it to be her own creation so that she would feel comfortable wearing it. It is
unique, pretty and understated and it fit HER personality. We did quite a bit of research on feathers before deciding
on which type would fit the situation and only then, we moved forward with the creation of the piece. If you see it out there and want it, contact me, I'LL
MAKE IT for you or I can find someone who specializes in that area and I can set you up with them (dress design, etc). I will be updating this page again, in the near future, other business awaits, too. I have other creations
that are very different than my beautiful flowers and have recently been created, still by me and added to the site.
See More Fabulous to see my Father Christmas and I will be adding the "Santa
and Little Angel holding the Infant Jesus" to my site in the next day or so. God Bless and please send in your
questions. I am easy to reach and await your call. Michele Eddins 268
