Florence, Hot off the WorkBench!



I am consistently inspired by the styles, clothing and art of the Edwardian and Art Nouveau era. "Florence" reflects that fascination. She's bold and colorful, warm and almost funny. I was going to display her in a local shop but she's found a spot near my husband's favorite chair in our living room ... Florence may become a permanent resident!

The beginning always looks a bit messy. That's when I have to be really patient and trust that the shade will "reveal" herself! Once "I know what I'm doing,"she stops waking me up in the middle of the night with suggestions!
