FAIRY AND FRENCH CLOAK HANGER

FRENCH AND FAIRY CLOAK HANGERS

Blooming Spirit Fairy Cloak Hanger

The idea for my cloak hangers came from an article in one of the craft books I purchased years ago. I would give credit to the artist and magazine but I can’t remember which one it was. I changed the hangers drastically by adding my own faces-ones that I painted in oils or acrylic-and added my legends that go with each piece of my artwork, as well as lots of embellishments.

I used a heavy wooden hanger to begin with and then covered it with canvas. I then modge-podged my paintings onto it and covered again with a modge podge finish. “Cloak” hangers seemed like an appropriate name for them since they act as a piece of art while unadorned or become functional when lingerie, scarves, cafetans or even jewelry are draped from them.

My friend, Dian, is always so generous. She gives me beautiful gifts. I love the fact that they are all of a French nature, which I guess is because she knows I love France almost as much as she does. I was invited to a dinner party she and her husband, Tom, had this evening. I decided to gift Dian with a very feminine French lingerie hanger I made. She seemed to like it and it definitely goes with her unique French cottage.

My Fairy hanger is for sale. She boasts a leather rose flower and one of my fairy paintings. She is a fairy-just look at the pointy ear. Her saying reads:

GENTLE SPIRIT

The seed pod opened-a woman child emerged. She was not yet complete…still in the process of becoming finished. She was innocent, having the quality of one who has not yet been injured by life. No soul searching, no vision quest, she was just content to be here and to be a living part of the great mother earth.
