"Le Gauche Papillion" means "The Clumsy Butterfly". The name came about from a group of left over letters from a wall art project. French is my favorite language and even though I am not fluent. The studio has been moved twice and it takes on a new life each time. My weekends are spent in thrift and antique stores. Our entire house was created from secondhand items that have been repurposed. I am never afraid of something a that has wear and tear. To me it all salvagable!

Charming Cookie Plate




The base started out as an ugly green candle holder. I bought the base to make a pincushion and then realized that the shape mimicked this plate. I painted the base in the purple tones of the plate and then glued the two together. I am still looking for a small globe (possibly from a cheese set) to go in top so this can be used as a cookie plate. Ah-ha! I found a dome for it!

  1. You are very creative, maybe your mother did say sometimes you went to far but than it wouldn't make you the artist you are today. Keep up the great work and never lose your creativity :)
