Alter Me......



For many years now I have dabbled in altered art. Taking something old, broken and forgotten items and giving them new purpose. I have been preparing for the ZNE Art ConveZioNE to teach and sell my goods in just 8 more days.

I have re -purposed & altered some antique and vintage items into cheery bling. As well as my favorite broken and forgotten china doll heads... fresh, fun pieces have been created !

I can't wait to spend 5 days spreading

the joy of Art to others!

There is still time to sign up for the ConveZioNE as well as the "Eat Cake class " I will be teaching.

Visit here to register.



And...everyone needs luggage to go on a trip right?
I have re- purposed/altered this old brown suitcase, adding a brilliant red color, vintage luggage labels and red polka dot ribbon.



To make your own... check Flea Markets, Thrift Shoppes and Garage/Estate sales for an old /vintage suitcase. I found mine for $5.00. Buy your favorite color spray paint ( Krylon ) . Spray the case all over in well ventilated area, let dry completely. You can buy many fun vintage style sticker luggage labels online or search the Internet. Here are a few I used. Just color copy from your computer on regular paper, cut out and mod podge back of paper. Place labels wherever you desire. Add ribbon to each side of case for a whimsical feel.

Pack & go !

( I will be adding more labels to my case

as well as decorating the other side)


Voila !!

A sweet suitcase to put your belongings !!!

And travel in style !
