Here are some little lovelies just listed on my Etsy Shoppe.
#1 & #2 in my new “Aggie Anne” series of artwork. My nickname is Aggie (given to me by my youngest sister when she was really young) and I was sometimes called Alexan(drea) as a kid……….so there you go!
I drew each little girl onto unbleached muslin using colored pencils. Their clothes are made from fabric scraps, and the cookies are Re-Ment miniatures. I mounted the muslin blocks onto pieces of matching scrapbook paper, and they’re ready to be framed! I think these turned out pretty cute, and hopefully I’ll get some more of them made soon. 🙂 There are some other nifty additions to my Etsy shoppe as well, so stop over if you have the time!

My blog has been quiet for a while now, so I thought I would share some pics of the projects I’ve been working on. Below you can see my first Re-Ment display which is for sale on my Etsy shoppe. The display is made from an old (and tiny) board book. I glued some of the “pages” together and covered the resulting walls in scrapbook paper. The edges are covered with narrow ribbon and a nice felt is attached to the back and bottom. I think this set turned out really well, and I’m hoping to make some more soon. Each of the miniature sets is also available separately on my website, so check them out if you have the chance. http://www.kindercottagekeepsakes.com/ — And click on the link marked Re-Ment!


Japanese Picnic “Room”

Strawberry Shortcake “Room”

Here’s a quick view of a more simple Re-Ment display. Also sold on my Etsy shoppe, it’s made from a hand folded paper box and holds one set of miniatures. They are all glued in and the resulting shadow box is ready to set anywhere. I thought of putting a hanger on the back………maybe next time.
