My 'work'place....

My studio...lots of windows... great natural lighting.....

A portion of my collection of pincushions.....  and, of course, handpainted vintage boots lying around waiting to find their new home...

My Consew Industrial Machine from 1927... runs like a dream.....

Little Betty Sue watches me as I work....

And Betty Sue's grumpy cousin provides 'constructive criticism' on the daily....

vintage purses, jewelry, feathers, fur, beads and bobbles of all kinds...

Antique Indian Saris add color to the room... and hang there waiting to be cut to pieces and added to a lovely dancing dress...

Roses and peacock feathers....

And more piles and piles of gorgeous vintage pieces just waiting their turn...

Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.

What's happening in 2011?

Just wanted to post a little sneak peek of what's to come this year here at Amanda Rose Studios:
(Look at this as a wish list for you and me....)

-Men's wear- AR Style- picture what Marie Antoinette's date, (who also happened to be the lead singer of Velvet Revolver), would have worn to a Sundance Film Festival after-party at Studio 54.... you get the drift.....

-Lots of little girl wear- picture fairy princess, powdered wig, mirror, mirror on the wall...

-Amanda Rose Rubenesque- AR style in more of a wide range of sizes and styles.... still Amanda Rose, but more accessible to the woman in everyone.

-More one-of-a-kind wedding dresses- picture so awesome, there's no way it can ever be duplicated...and who would want to?? All of the fabulousness of each piece will be spent on each piece. :)

-More one-of-a-kind party dresses- Picture everyone turning green with envy when you walk into the room.  And no one else shall have what you have. Ever.

Many more things to come than I can even list.  Looking forward to a wonderful, creative 2011! Happy New Year!!!
