Marie Antoinette. Mixed Media Monday.


This is my entry for this week's challenge, Marie Antoinette, at Mixed Media Monday.


Tea stained tag, stamped, rub ons, vintage button card facscimile, stitched, with vintage French ribbon, old mother of pearl buttons and vintage paper flower as embellishments.

It turns out that the challenge at Three Muses for this week is "cards", and that got me looking at my vintage button cards and I found this gorgeous, pristine button card with a Marie Antoinette-style graphic. I scanned the button card to use as the image for the tag. I sewed through all the button holes and added 3 real buttons to the image.


I also have a couple of jewelry designs available at Bumbershoot Designs inspired by and named after Marie, using very old vintage glass pearls.

One light...


And one dark...


These earrings are regular items at Bumbershoot Designs, available here. If you can't find them, just contact me and I'll help you out.
