OK, we&#39;re not really sure about the teeth, but the joy part? Oh, yeah--<br /><br />The body is about 4&quot; long. Add 3&quot; for the tail, if you&#39;re measuring. The hair, which is actual fabulous human hair, is 12&quot; and has been washed and braided for a lovely wavy-ness.<br /><br />Perfect for a coat or jacket but also marvelous on a bag or hat--you decide where, we&#39;ll take care of the rest. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37360989 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 14:32:56 -0500 50.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.112101089.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37360768 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.112100267.jpg" /><br /> $45.00<br /> Forget bells on your toes: What could be more festive than bells on your wings? And what more could Mr. Joy need, really, to bring in the New Year and spread a little Joy through the land? Or at least through your own personal corner of the land.<br /><br />He&#39;s almost 6&quot; tall from his hat to his toes. His milagro arms and legs are moveable, and his bells jingle merrily. He has a sturdy pin back so you can wear him on your jacket, and he also has a beaded hanging loop so he can hang out at home. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37360768 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 14:24:29 -0500 45.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.112100267.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37296480 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.111889253.jpg" /><br /> $45.00<br /> In celebration of the Winter Solstice, his favorite day of the year, El Sol brings you wishes of warmth and plenty of sunshine all year round. He&#39;ll keep you warm and grinning on even the dreariest of days. Plus, of course, he adores the long hot days of summer.<br /><br />From the tip of his hat to the toe of his left foot, he&#39;s just a squeek shy of 5 3/4&quot; He has a pin back so you can wear him on your jacket to take sunshine with you wherever you go, and he also has a beaded hanging loop for hanging when he&#39;s at home. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37296480 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 17:07:49 -0500 45.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.111889253.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37247639 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.111727504.jpg" /><br /> $45.00<br /> The King is a pin! He&#39;s an ornament! He&#39;s Ruler of the Bridge Brigade! And he&#39;s just flat-out lucky: wear him when you challenge your mother-in-law to a game of Spades and see how quickly she folds~~<br /><br />This funky little dude is one of the last of my series of popular Milagro Pin Dolls. They&#39;re almost all gone, and he&#39;s feeling cocky--not only does he rule The Cards, he thinks he rules the world. Who knows? It might be true.<br /><br />He has a nifty little pin back so you can take him out in te world on your lapel, and he has a little beaded hanging loop so you can let him lord it over your game table, or your desk, or your entire house: hang him up, make him work.<br /><br />From the tip of his right foot to the top of the hanging loop, The King is 5 1/2&quot; tall. His arms and legs can move--maybe he&#39;ll send you secret signals about your opponent&#39;s hand or point out a potential parking space--his rule is all-encompassing, or so he claims. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37247639 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 12:12:05 -0500 45.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.111727504.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11649324 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.70276449.jpg" /><br /> $75.00<br /> The hands on this altered dress are made from an actual X-ray of my hand I made into a stencil. Except, of course, for the large beaded hand on the front--that&#39;s a fabulous piece of batik fabric a friend brought back from her travels. The dress is large and loose, with a slit on one side. <br /><br /><br /><br />Very comfortable, it&#39;s perfect for lounging or layering or dressing up with jewelry. I like to think it also has protective properties for an artist&#39;s most important tool: those marvelous, wonderful hands. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11649324 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 75.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.70276449.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9293576 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.18666763.jpg" /><br /> $95.00<br /> I made this altered journal skirt right before I got on the plane to go teach at Artfest. I was thinking of all the things I should have been doing--like, oh, packing, maybe?--but just having way too much fun making something to wear. I wore it there, and then the poor thing&#39;s been hanging in the closet ever since--for years. Unless it got photographed for a magazine--I&#39;m sorry, but I can&#39;t remember. Maybe it&#39;s famous. You could be famous, if you wore this: people would want to know if you went nekkid when you weren&#39;t wearing artwear. You should always tell them, &quot;Yes, I do.&quot;<br /><br />It&#39;s a medium, about knee-length. Hand wash or machine wash on gentel cycle turned inside out (the skirt turned inside out, not the cycle) (I just toss them in the machine, but you&#39;re probably more careful than I am).<br /><br />More fun than almost anything and sure to help you meet other artwear fans--enjoy! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9293576 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 95.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.18666763.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9292864 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.18664615.jpg" /><br /> $40.00<br /> Boy, is this the truth! When you&#39;re young, you feel invincible. But if you make it through love and kids and work and that Boss from Hell, well: then you&#39;re REALLY something fierce. This one was a lot of fun to make, and it&#39;s fun to wear, maybe with a red t-shirt and leggings.<br /><br />It&#39;s a medium, about knee length. No pockets. Functional overall straps. <br /><br />Give people something to think about, and maybe a hint about staying out of your way. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9292864 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 40.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.18664615.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9292209 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.18662699.jpg" /><br /> $125.00<br /> This is one of the very first Journal Skirts I ever made. Man, what a long time ago that was! I&#39;ve held onto it because I really like it, but I&#39;m not wearing it; so it needs a home where someone will.<br /><br />It&#39;s made from a pair of Silver Tab Levi&#39;s, size 32 waist, 34 length, so it&#39;s a little looser than the others and quite long: it&#39;s floor length on me, and I&#39;m 5&#39; 8&quot;. Looks fabulous with an old pair of boots.<br /><br />It tells the story of our first trip to Santa Fe, with appliques from the catalogs and photos taken by The Ever-Gorgeous Earl. Stamping, writing, beading, buttons, rick-rack. It&#39;s totally cool and needs to be worn. One of a kind--that&#39;s for sure: I never go back and make more of these once I&#39;ve done one. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9292209 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 125.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.18662699.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9291327 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.18660018.jpg" /><br /> $40.00<br /> This fabulous little shirt is one of the set that was featured in the January 2006 issue of Belle Armoire magazine. I made the shirt from my own pattern--a simple two-layered top--and then appliqued a picture of Cutie Pie: our friend Roz Stendahl visited and sketched Cutie Pie, went home and painted him, scanned in the painting and e-mailed it to me. I printed it on fabric, stamped the whole story of the love affair between Roz and Cutie Pie, gave him a crown, and there you go. The story continues on the back, with a link to Roz&#39;s website, just for fun.<br /><br />It&#39;s cotton, a size medium, very simple shape with no darts. Hand wash (I machine wash everything, but you&#39;re probably more careful).<br /><br />While it was made to be worn, it looks pretty cool hanging on the wall, doesn&#39;t it? http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9291327 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 40.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.18660018.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9291250 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.18659233.jpg" /><br /> $25.00<br /> This fabulous little shirt is one of the set that was featured in the January 2006 issue of Belle Armoire magazine. I made the shirt from my own pattern--a very simple top--and then appliqued a picture of Cutie Pie: our friend Roz Stendahl visited and sketched Cutie Pie, went home and painted him, scanned in the painting and e-mailed it to me. I printed it on fabric, appliqued the image, stamped the name, added some swirls and gave him a hat with some sparkly beads, and there you go. There&#39;s fuzzy green trim around the edges, as well.<br /><br />It&#39;s cotton, a size medium, very simple shape with no darts. The edges are turned under and zig-zagged, rather than hemmed traditionally. Hand wash. The green swirls will fade, but less so if you wash carefully.<br /><br />While it was made to be worn, it looks pretty cool hanging on the wall, doesn&#39;t it? http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9291250 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 25.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.18659233.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9291132 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.18658853.jpg" /><br /> $40.00<br /> This fabulous little shirt is another one in the set that was featured in the January 2006 issue of Belle Armoire magazine.

I love this house, and I made this piece to write about that. Once I finished it, though, I smacked my forhead and said, &quot;Where&#39;s the orange?&quot; Because, well, I just can&#39;t make something for this house without using orange. So this one&#39;s gotta find a new home so I can try again. <br /><br />Note to self: don&#39;t forget the orange.<br /><br />14&quot; x 28&quot;, this quilt has appliqued hands (mine and my husband&#39;s--yeah, I know it&#39;s a cliché, but it&#39;s a SWEET cliché, OK?), stamping, stenciling, and hand stitching. Yes, there&#39;s a mistake in the stamping--can you see it? Almost everything you stamp is going to have some little glitch somewhere. And thank goodness for that: it keeps it from looking as if it were done by machine. Not that anything I do ever looks as if it&#39;s done by machine.<br /><br />The back of this one is finished, with two little hanging loops. You might want to attach it to a rod, instead. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24573685 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 75.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.69134904.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24574052 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.69135754.jpg" /><br /> $75.00<br /> The minute I walked into this house, in 1989, I knew it was The House for Me. It smelled right, it felt right, everything about it was perfect. Well, OK, maybe not the goose-print wallpaper, with the fat geese with the little ribbons around their necks. Maybe not that. But everything ELSE was perfect, OK? I made this Art Journal Page for the house, but now that it&#39;s finished, I realize I want to do it over in another size and color. Sigh. Don&#39;t you hate when that happens? So if this one finds a new home, it&#39;ll force me to get busy dyeing up some purple fabric. . . .<br /><br />18&quot; x 25&quot;, it&#39;s appliqued, stamped, stenciled, and stitched. The back is finished, and there are two loops for hanging it, although you might want to attach it to a rod, instead. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24574052 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 75.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.69135754.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24821214 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.69961557.jpg" /><br /> $225.00<br /> What else is there to say? Sometimes you just need to be silly, and honeys, I am the best at that, as you can see.<br /><br />This 15.5&quot; x 16.5&quot; art quilt is a page of hand-written journaling that ponders the question about why we take life so seriously and when it is that we forget how to play and be silly.<br /><br />The photos have been altered, printed, painted, and stitched. They were taken by me or my husband except the photobooth photos, which were taken at the way-cool photo booth at Archy McFee&#39;s in Seattle. If you haven&#39;t been there, you need to go right away!<br /><br />There are two layers of hand-dyed cotton with a layer of commercial felt between. A little machine stitching and lots and lots of hand stitching--the back is unfinished so you can admire all that handwork. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24821214 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 225.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.69961557.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28038 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.60866.jpg" /><br /> $75.00<br /> Ever since high school, I&#39;d had hair I could sit on. Good grief, that was a lot of hair. And it was time for a change. This Journal Skirt commemorates The Big Day with transfers and text. <br /><br />Size 31 waist, approx. knee length. Hand wash or turn inside out and use the gentle cycle.<br /><br />And no, I never regretted the haircut for a second. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28038 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 75.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.60866.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28039 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.60871.jpg" /><br /> $100.00<br /> Ooooh, lots of nekkid ladies on this one! I used transfers of those old cigarette card images to go with the stamped text that says that, if you can&#39;t wear art, you might as well not wear anything at all. I was stamping the text on this skirt when I should have been finishing up the packing for Artfest, where I taught an altered artwear workshop. And I really do believe this: if you can&#39;t wear your art, what&#39;s the point of wearing anything at all?<br /><br />Hand wash or turn inside out and use the gentle cycle.<br /><br />Size 31 waist, approx. knee length. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28039 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:28 -0400 100.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.60871.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24913638 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.70273460.jpg" /><br /> $40.00<br /> I&#39;ve done the boring part of deconstructing and reconstructing the jeans into a skirt, and it&#39; now ready for your altering pleasure. This ankle length denim skirt is made from a pair of fabulously faded Levi&#39;s 501&#39;s, size 32W x 34L. The waistband and top button have been removed, and the front and back panels are soft flannel. If you&#39;ve never worked on a jeans skirt before, check out some of my other items, like the Artfest Journal Skirt, for ideas. Or visit voodooandzen.com, my website, to see some of the other things you can do to these skirts. Lots of fun to work on and even more fun to wear! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24913638 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:27 -0400 40.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.70273460.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24913986 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.70274703.jpg" /><br /> $50.00<br /> Here&#39;s the perfect start to your very own journal skirt. I&#39;ve done the boring part of making a pair of Levi&#39;s 550 relaxed fit jeans into a just-above-the-knee skirt, and I&#39;ve started with the journaling. The rest is up to you and your imagination. Check out my website, voodooandzen.com, for more examples of journal skirts to get you started.<br /><br />Size 32W, zip front.<br /><br />Hand washing or gentle cycle, inside out. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24913986 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:27 -0400 50.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.70274703.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24914345 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.70275848.jpg" /><br /> $50.00<br /> Here&#39;s another altered jean skirt, made from a pair of Levi&#39;s 501 button-front jeans. I removed the waistband and top button, added front and back panels, and sewed on lots of my favorite fibers. They&#39;re loose at the bottom for lots of flutter when you move. You can keep adding to the skirt or leave it as it is. For more journal skirt ideas, check out my website: voodooandzen.com<br /><br />Size 31W http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24914345 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:27 -0400 50.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.70275848.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24915355 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.70279186.jpg" /><br /> $60.00<br /> When I found this well-loved little shirt, I knew it needed some serious altering. My cats provided the inspiration: when you&#39;re juggling anything, you have to think about mistakes. Fish juggling, like life, offers the opportunity for some very delicious mistakes, indeed.<br /><br />The buttons are decorative only--the front is stitched shut. It slips easily over the head and ends right at the waist.<br /><br />Size Large<br /><br />Hand wash or gentle cycle inside out. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24915355 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:27 -0400 60.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.70279186.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24940868 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.70363618.jpg" /><br /> $95.00<br /> This dress, believe it or not, began life as an ankle-length, short-sleeved, scoop-necked blue thing that looked like something your jr. high school librarian would wear to a church social. Not to dis any of you librarians--I know some really cool ones of y&#39;all!<br /><br />Of course I had to help it out, so I cut it off at knee length, cut off the sleeves, scooped out the neck, and dyed the heck out of that sucker. And then got to work with the paint and ink and embroidery floss.<br /><br />It tells why drinking wine is so much more civilized than drinking beer (no bad to you beer drinkers, either, &#39;coz I&#39;ll be you&#39;re not like our neighbor who gets drunk and then mows his lawn, wandering over onto my husband&#39;s lovely grass and taking plugs out of it with his mower).<br /><br />Anyway. It slips over the head--the front is stiched closed. Hand wash or delicate cycle, inside out. It looks fabulous over a tank and leggings. Perfect for that patio party when you want to let people know how you feel about your favorite drink. ¡Salud! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24940868 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:27 -0400 95.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.70363618.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24941282 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.70364872.jpg" /><br /> $95.00<br /> This started out as the ugliest dress on the face of the planet. I have no clue how it got into my closet, but there it was: long, baggy, and this most hideous shade of khaki, some hue hitherto unknown to man. So of course I had to dye it. The first dye bath left it a pale, maybe-I-meant-to-be-orange color, so we tried again. Finally!<br /><br />I cut it off to knee length, took off the sleeves, lowered the neck, and got to work. The coffee cups are a stamp I carved myself, as are the beans. The stamping tells the story of our Coffee Habit, wherein we hang out in the afternoons at the Starbucks by the interstate, watching the traffic and imagining the trips we&#39;d like to take. Trips we could afford, perhaps, if we gave up that Starbucks Habit.<br /><br />All my favorite baristas signed their names on this one in permanent pen. Hand wash or turn inside out and use the delicate cycle. It slips over your head--the front is stitched closed. <br /><br />Size: large.<br /><br />It looks fabulous over leggings and a tank, and it lets the world know how you feel about your joe. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24941282 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:27 -0400 95.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.70364872.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24942134 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.70367757.jpg" /><br /> $75.00<br /> This is just the coolest apron. My friend Julia got the pattern from her mother, who got it from the nuns: the apron was originally designed to be worn over a habit. Check out those pockets--don&#39;t you wonder what the nuns carried in those, back in the day?<br /><br />Rulers, probably. <br /><br />Anyway, this is my version, and it&#39;s a tribute to one of my studio companions, Moe. He&#39;s sitting in the window over there as I type this, and I&#39;m loathe to hurt his feelings by using the &quot;f&quot; word. Oh, not that &quot;f-word.&quot; He&#39;s heard that one before. No: fat. Because my darlin&#39; has a weight issue.<br /><br />Anyway. This one&#39;s for him, with the names of all my cats over the years stamped in permanent ink. The fabric is hand-dyed by me in two of my favorite colors. You have to smile when you look at them. The pockets, as I mentioned, are huge: you could do your shopping in this apron. Or wear it in the studio, where you can carry brushes and paper and tools and, sheesh, just about everything you need. There&#39;s a slit up the back. Size: fits just about anyone. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24942134 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:45:27 -0400 75.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.70367757.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30645374 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.89498379.jpg" /><br /> $65.00<br /> When I met it this heavy-ish cotton tank dress, it was ankle length and off-white. Yikes! I cut it off and hemmed it and then painted it with sea colors of Dyna-Flo fabric paint. I stamped the lucky spiral and then beaded it. While it&#39;s perfect for the beach, it&#39;s just as happy here in the West Texas Desert, so it&#39;s going to be right at home no matter where you take it. <br /><br />Size medium. Hand wash. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30645374 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:34:28 -0400 65.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.89498379.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30644873 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.89496689.jpg" /><br /> $95.00<br /> This is the dyed, stamped, stenciled, appliqued, stitched, and beaded shirt I altered for my column in Altered Couture. A Famous Shirt, indeed.<br /><br />And, whew, am I exhausted. <br /><br />There&#39;s no size in it, but I&#39;m a medium, snd you can see how it fits me.<br /><br />Handwash. It&#39;s linen, and if you like your linen pressed (aieeee!), iron on the wrong side. But, really, who irons any more? Tumble dry and hang it up and have fun wearing it! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30644873 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:27:22 -0400 95.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.89496689.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30643786 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.89494977.jpg" /><br /> $275.00<br /> This began life as an off-white Old Navy coat. Off-white? Yikes! Hand-dyed in best tie-dye fashion with permanent dyes, it&#39;s then stitched and appliqued. The appliques are flannel, and yes, the hair on the voodoo dolls is real. And yes, all that purple stitching is by hand.Flannel covered buttons, some random beading.<br /><br />It&#39;s listed as an XXL--you can see how it fits me, and I&#39;m sort of a medium--it should fit a range of sizes pretty comfortably.<br /><br />You can wash this very gently--the hair is glued and stitched in place, so just don&#39;t leave it soaking for hours.I&#39;ve had great luck laundering pieces with this technique for the doll&#39;s hair.<br /><br />This is not a coat for the shy. You&#39;ll get noticed, and you&#39;ll have a fabulous time. Plus the voodoo is the Very Best Kind. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30643786 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:18:20 -0400 275.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.89494977.jpg new 1
