Vintage2Glam is my idea of reusing vintage goodies, and turning them into something Glam. I love taking vintage finds, and make them modern with wonderful colors and a vintage twist..... love to incorporate them into my own vintage inspired art an accessories. Pleased to say that my jewelry was worn my Ellen Burstyn in the movie "GRETA" starring Ellen and Hillary Duff filmed in historical town of Ocean Grove N.J.

Having fun with art.....

adding glitter to snowflakes makes the students happy...but makes a BIG mess!

having fun with my art students

they love working with model magic.....

assignment was to create alien little monsters......

and to be as colorful and creative as possible.....

students had to color their own clay(thanks to a technique I learned from my artsy friend Jaime...)

they colored white model magic with color markers and man do the kids love this project...

then they could use googly eyes and pipe cleaners.....

then make colorful back drop....they loved it...happy students = happy teacher....

this is altered book art from my favorite 6th grade group...they are

so talented and sad to say Monday is our last day....

how cute is this....more art to come......

a beautiful busy fall day.....

love this time of year...the colors are amazing and are always changing

we were at my son Myles's soccer game in Freehold NJ...It was the Shore Conference Tournament

Myles was awesome and scored the teams only goal today....so proud of him....

the team played really hard, but sorry to say they lost...3-2....

traveling all around today, and saw this field close to our home.....

had to head to Joanne's for some supplies and saw  Cloth Paper Scissors Gift Magazine right in the front....

so had  to take another peak at my work......what a great feeling seeing your work on the pages of your favorite magazine....

can you believe that I still have beautiful roses in my garden..oh summer I am missing you already....

 when you see the beauty of the fall colors it too is a great time of year....hope you are all enjoying your day...

HAPPY DAY........


One of my favorite art magazines....

  
 I started with a challenge in Cloth Paper Scissors several months ago, you were to design a piece of fabric...

 
 and this challenge led to another....I was asked by the magazine to do my thing on a blank camera bag......and send it in, I was 1 of 5 chosen for this challenge, of 200 who entered the fabric challenge.
This was my camera bag idea....

this was a fun challenge.... to create your design on a camera bag...

September 27th New York City Trip.....

Went into NYC with a few friends to see a friends fashion show...I am always looking for interesting things to photograph.

this was some kind of weird collage on the surface of and old building

a rain jacket, umbrella, purse, all kinds of things were glued on and painted....

next to this building was a little park that people were working on and this cute clean little pup was just laying there watching everybody...

thought this was funny since I am not so tall.....

went to see my friend Lois Eastlund who is an amazing clothing designer.....this is a shot looking down form my seat...the colors were amazing.

the show was at R-Bar in NYC. and this was a peak at a model waiting to go on....

the mood was awesome and the colors and atmosphere was nice...

This is Lois getting ready

one of the girls

one of the guys....

another great color blocked dress

the end....have a new camera and thought I was filming the entire show and when I found out I wasn't I was not to happy...so not as many pictures as I would like...

a wall along the street......

close up of that wall...see you never know where you may find some art inspiration.....it may be on your way home..stop and notice
