A Storybook Circus Party!

I recently was commissioned to create a party set for a customer's party, a 1rst Birthday Party for a little wee girl named: Brooke, set in a whimsical, vintage, yet sweet storybook carnival theme, with lots of sugary colors, a rainbow of circus surprise.The party fare consisted of a set of custom circus follies cake picks, matching toppers, name blocks, and banner. Each piece was handmade with a variety of materials, all to resemble a storybook circus. I further developed some circus follies character designs I already had such as the Ballerina Elephant, the Marionette and the Harlequin clown.I added a few new character designs to the set such as the Circus Pony, Ballerina Bear, Frou Frou Poodle, Party Bird and Sierra the Mermaid, just to name a few.These are just a sampling of some of the items I made for the party, in my next post I will share with you more photos of the cake toppers, the name blocks and the banner that I created for this fabulous and sweet birthday party.

These party designs, other designs and custom orders are available through me, please check out my website, and artfire stores now, or contact me directly. Please note, my Etsy store was hacked and will be re-built soon, so for now all orders must be made through my Artfire, website or myself directly.

Have a magic filled weekend,

Side Show Follies Dolls and Toppers!


The Side Show!

Here are the first members of the Side Show Follies:
Nellie, the Mer-Elephant
Zandra and Cassandra, The Mermaid Twins
Lionel, The Blue Monkey Tamer
Talulah, The Cotton Candy Fat Lady


Here they are photographed on my ice cream grunge scrapbook paper to add to the carnival feel! I love this paper, it can be used alone, as a background and in your paper crafts.

We all know how much I love the circus, so I couldn't resist making a side show to add to it. I wanted to keep them cute and fun, these are the result. My favorite is the Two Headed Mermaid and the Mer-Elephant. Elephants are my fave part of a carnival/circus show, and hoping they are treated well too.

Here are the side show follies as dolls!

I hope these new additions to my world have given you some magic and joy, they are now available on my etsy store and will be in my artfire store tonight!

The Christmas Circus!

Come One, Come All to the Christmas Circus Ball....

Every year I try to paint a few bulbs for the tree making the designs easy enough for parents to make with their children and fun enough for teens with just the right magic for all to do. At the end of the season I usually grab a few boxes of left over bulbs to keep on hand for the following years holiday projects.

This season I decided to create a collection of ornaments which reflex my circus follies and doll cupcake toppers, keeping the process as simple and easy as possible. The result for this batch are the painted follies bulbs! Later this week I will introduce the follies sculpted bulbs!

The first one in this series is:
Elephant Candy Circus Bulb!
The next one is:
Mouseland Ice Cream Circus Bulb!

These bulbs are so fun to make, I feel like I'm at the circus, lol! The next member of the follies is The Koala Carnival and Daisy Le Giraffe's Circus!
