Collaborations
When I'm lucky, I get to collaborate with other artists.
For Arts Goggle 2022, I got to work with Stevie Smith, also known as HandicraftSmith.
For our collaboration, Stevie made the needle-felted miniature reproductions of famous paintings (and a few other pieces) and I made some of the frames out of resin.
See below for a few examples.
Starry Night & Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lillies
Stevie recreated these Van Gogh and Monet miniatures, and I made the frames with resin and mica powder. These sold out at Arts Goggle!
Unicorn & Minis
In this photo, Stevie made all of the needle-felting and put the pieces together. I contributed the gold and bronze mini-frames for the small pieces in the top drawer, as well as the gold glitter star frame for the unicorn piece in the top left.
Another View
In this photo you can again see the unicorn and the mini masterpieces, which I created the frames for in this collab.
Girl with the Pearl Earring
At the top of this photo, a little on the left, you can see Stevie's recreation of Vermeer's girl with the pearl earring. She made this incredible piece, and I contributed the gold frame I made from resin.
Thank you to HandicraftSmith!
Stevie is a great friend, a strong member of the Fort Worth community, and an outstanding artist. Check out her instagram! She also does these cute pet portraits - I commissioned her to make this piece for my MIL.
