FAERIE SLIPPER EXCHANGE
With pure delight I mailed off my faerie slippers to Patti in California
and eagerly awaited the slippers that were coming my way
all the way from England.....near Kent.
Imagine?!!
I was the fortunate Slipper Sister to receive Lorraine's slippers that
she fashioned for Shakespeare's Ophelia.
(Lorraine does not have a blog yet for me to link...soon I hope)
The photos on our Paper Whimsy forum did not do justice to these stunning gems.
AND,
try as I might,
I could not take photos that would come across well enough.
I am not sure if it's all the glimmer and sparkle
of beads and glass glitter
but I took almost 50 shots and these are the best....none of which make me happy.
The workmanship is so superb it is obvious why these won best of show
YES!!! I received the slippers that were judged Best in Show!!!
They are exquisite............
Also what does not translate well in photo
is the gorgeous glass glitter adhered to the inside edges
and look who scampered in to take a closer look.........
all I did was walk away for a second and I swear!!
But who could blame her........I could not wait to touch them either!!!!
My little slippers were received with such delight and are in a very happy home.
This project and exchange was the most fun I've had in a long time.
I have displayed these jewels on my art wall in my sTuDiO wItH A bEd.
Lucky, lucky me.

Looking at both pairs of slippers is like stepping into a beautiful story... Amazing work and talent!
Rella, those slippers are amazing! And I love the pinks you are working with. Thanks for the nice comment you left on my blog. I checked out your stained glass doors and they are stunning! I love the cute little hummers.
And thanks again for the info on the dolls....and I heeded your warning. I don't need another addiction at this time.
Have a great week!
