A Gift of Macarons,watercolor, 5.5" x 7.5"
I've been painting some personal paintings for commissions that can be inscribed to the person of your choice.
Stack of Macarons,watercolor, 5.5" x 7.5"
I'm tieing that in with making paintings of your own personal stack of French macarons.
Here's a personally embroidered purse of M-A's from the auction - it went for more than $133,000!
Personal Jar of Jam,watercolor 5.5" x 7.5"
Why not settle for a Pierre Herme jam jar with your name on it instead...
Eiffel Tower Envelope,watercolor,5.5" x 7.5"
Or an envelope with a friend's name on it...
BON MERCREDI!
I am holding out for a Belette.;-) But, the stack of macarons are very tempting. Hey, I tagged you today. And, I talk about Laduree. Please come by my blog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Carol! Each more delectable than the last. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't the dress fragment make a beautiful watercolor too? I love your macarons paintings, Carol, but they make me hungry...
ReplyDeleteMore lovely paintings and a great idea you have. A personalized painting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea Catherine! Ihadn't thought of that...
ReplyDeleteI love the sample of writing too...
Hmmm, the wheels are turning...
Let them eat macarons? ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, for a stuck of macarons, right now!
Carol, the piece of lace looks like a strip taken of some lace fabric,its not hand made, well to me it isn't and there were no machines then to make it. I just don't know how that was made so long ago.
ReplyDeleteI used to work and sell a lot of things l made out of Nottingham lace. I even made a doll that Princess Diana got and she asked for it to be in cream lace...
Exquisite piece of fabric...
ReplyDeleteI would love to read that letter..
Love the idea of personal macarons in my favorite flavors...
Smashing idea! And the price is right - compared to MA's old stuff. Hard to believe a piece of her dress is still around! Or anything else!
ReplyDeleteHi !
ReplyDeleteI'm parisian and I love your aquarelles. I study around the 6th-7th arrondissement and I am currently obsessed with flan !
So if you know a place where I can buy a delicious flan, please tell !
