Stop and smell the flowers,

Let time stand still,
Enjoy simple treasures.

Peach Blossom Floating In a Sea Of Silvery Pearls

 I have found my new passion in art.  It feels exhilarating to say that.  I love creating my Art Mirrors, they allow me to explore all the things I love... vintage jewelry, buttons, mirrors , sculpture and even photography when I catalog them for Etsy.

They would make a beautiful gift for yourself or someone you love.  I will be adding to my collection each week, exploring color as well as art periods.  I am looking forward to creating an Art Deco piece and others that are inspired by my vintage jewelry and buttons. 


All of my work is always available at the Portland Flea for All every Saturday and Sunday, 10 - 5 PM.  Here is the link for directions and more information:

Hand Mirror, Decorative Jeweled Art Mirror, Radiant Reflections, Lustrous Mirror, Peach Blossom Floating In a Sea Of Silvery Pearls! Royal, rich, and elegant all come to mind when you look at this luxurious mirror. I have transformed a plain vintage peach pearl and amber celluloid mirror into an elegant art mirror.

A bold vintage enamel pin with a gold and pearl center is the focal point in the "sea" of pearls, silvery and peach buttons, and amber beads. Two delicate butterflies rest on their pearl pedestals. Silver glitter encases it all into a magnificent whole. This art mirror is radiantly beautiful. Due to its true vintage years, there is a slight imperfection in the form of a light cloud in the mirror which can be seen in sample 4. It adds to the overall vintage quality of this art mirror.

The oval beveled mirror is 5 " (12.7cm) in diameter. It measures over all 13 " (33cm) in over all length. I have used vintage jewelry and buttons from my beautiful collection of vintage estate and flea market finds. This is an art mirror. It may be used, but should be treated with care.

The mirror comes beautifully gifted in a black box with a soft chiffon "pillow" insert. (see sample 5) and a clear view cover. The presentation is in keeping with the luxurious art inside.

This is a limited edition of one. It is OOAK. There are no other mirrors assembled that are the same. In college and graduate school, assemblage was one of my favorite art forms of expression.

This mirror and the new single editions of the ones that will follow reflect my love of color, contrast, texture, and form. It also embraces my sentimental attachment to vintage jewelry and buttons. Buttons and jewelry remind me of hours spent in my childhood playing with buttons in old fruitcake tins, and my mother's "magnificent" collection of costume jewelry.

In creating the art mirrors, I feel like I am stepping back in time to that wonderful childhood place of endless imagination and fantasy, reminiscent of playing "dress up". The mirror is crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail, in a style reminiscent of the Art Nouveau period.

Upon request, it would be my pleasure to enclose a gift card for the recipient. The card will be a small photo note card with part of the mirror's design on the front.

Radiant Reflections...something old...something new ...a hand held mirror embellished just for you!

"La vie est belle!" Life is beautiful" Patti
