My Story
Welcome to my world of designed and re-worked vintage and upcycled apparel. Vintage embellished bottle art mostly found in rivers, creek beds and farmland. Objects made from shells and mounted on blocks of wood and old silver. Antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry and old and tattered books.
I grew up in and antique store my parents owned. I was brought back there as soon as school was over and played in a Fire Hall at the back of our shop with toys the firemen were repairing to give to children during the holidays. Pretty good deal I thought. They also opened the first antique mall in Nashville Tennessee where we lived, and I still do.
I design and make wearable art, hats, handbags and one-of-a-kind jewelry. Crowns you will see throughout, and I design and make each one unless otherwise stated. A lot of my creations are made from found objects that seemed desperate to have a new life. Fabrics are found from many sources. Some with water stains, holes and just plain dilapidated, but they usually go home for washing and a new purpose.
My favorite colors are Tarnished Silver and Venetian Gold, Swan White, Bleached Driftwood and Moody Blue with a touch of Periwinkle to brighten.
My wearable art was published in Altered Couture Magazine
I worked as a free-lance Interior Designer, 39th St. Interiors for 25 years
I owned two retail stores selling antiques and high fashion apparel. Pamela Gene and Brookwood Gallery.
Taught modeling at Nashville’s well known Jo Susan School of Modeling.
I am proud to have a Five Star rating with Etsy. I try to ship next day, always with a tracking number. Return policies are under item details.
