French Theatrics Of Salvage

 BURLAP LUXE DESIGNS

My latest theatre of the arts, I design and create from

 rustic salvage wood.

Along with my bending of wire art and paper doll and 

cartapesta mice.

 

 Salvage Wood

Chosen and cut to dimensions, using the best pieces showing

signs of weathered and decaying inspiration.

Every piece gets wood glued and screwed, adding all the

rightness to a French theatre of song and

dance.

  

Theatre Taking Shape 

 Moldings, picture frames, chair rungs and drawer pulls for finials

are often found in pieces of furniture I salvage from their past.

History in such pieces inspire my art in building forgotten

 treasured play.

This Theatre hangs on a wall.

22" in height x 17" in width x 6" in depth.

 Ephemera

Vintage paper ephemera I collect, papering a backdrop wall.

Yet, I nudge along its brittle aged look with tearing and

piecing it together so this wall takes on a look

of centuries old.

 

 Paint And Tattered Curtians

A paint treatment I give it to preserve each piece rustically.

I have still yet to lay the planked stage flooring, adding

a bit more moldings and its vintage music box

under the stage base.

Hopeful in completion soon, old wood salvage finds can not be

rushed.

French Crown Wire-Art...All Is Calm

 Burlap Luxe French Wire~Art...

My Wire In Creating

My hands take to bending and twisting wire into wire and

cartapesta crowns.

The making of a beautiful unique tree topper for

your Christmas tree.

As well as a winter wedding cake topper or,

any season.

 

I adore wire art, be it pieces I weave into my French home designs

or create myself...

All with unfussy finishes,

 

 Patience Is A Virtue

 

 Tin Tag

I love the unexpected, where a bit of reclaimed old adds to

its statement charm.

Vintage brocante, adds all the rightness in its message from

old tattered vintage book word ephemera.

Shades of the SEA...Sea dream catchers.

Entangled, caught and trapped from the sea.

My imaginative dream catchers are created with hands that gather from

the sea.

Intertwined wire with crusted sea foam capturing quiet dreams from

the deep sea. 

   

 A Storied Sea

Dreams that gather deep from the sea, oyster shells, sea pearls,

fisherman's netting all entangled in wire from the open sea.  

 Pieces of sea serenity can always be added to a

sea dream catcher

" Tied to the sea"

 Sweet sea dreams dot the shores.

Dwelling in French Stillness, Artistically

 The Home Of Burlap Luxe

How our home lives

 We entertain

Remembering it is not just about us, but those placed in our lives.

Here is a French country setting yet, set with a gathered and collected feel

to each place setting.

Setting a table, a la Francaise

 Mixing plate size's and more often imperfect pieces will show up living creatively at

our table of French.

 Settings of silver find themselves in the mix of borrowing from separate but,

equal drawers of flatware.

I do have a thing for dinnerware and to be fair to my collections of equal use, 

I fairly use them sometimes all at once.

Making for fun conversation.

Mixing serving pieces equally adds all the right charm to your settings.

 I love adding vintage and family heirlooms, as well as great thrift shop finds.

These platters were my latest Goodwill find, mint condition 13" round,

and all three under $4.00

These platters will make a fun statement, while enjoying what they serve.

Effortless pieces come together to create French farmhouse spaces!

 Burlap Luxe etsy... New art pieces I have been artistically working on

one piece at a time, and one chamber of my heart.

 An Art Dwelling.

Here is my latest...This French roadside shrine reflects a simple and

great feeling that people everywhere need comfort and 

security of eternal.

Each individual would perhaps see them differently, based on

their own needs, and a place to rest their heart on.

 Those of you that have shared in the purchasing of my art pieces know

the heart and soul work that goes into what I create.

Hand sculpted embellishments, wire work, paper mache, hand poured

and molded statues from vintage molds and my hands. Along with paper 

ephemera from vintage poetry books tattered with little life left in them.

I never know the end result until the pieces tell me they are finished.

 

 All my art by me Dore Callaway,

is of One-Of-A-Kind, and is soulfully created from within. I truly get

undone just thinking about the end results, and how the pieces and colors just

seam to effortlessly work

 Like all my art pieces of this medium, paper mache, wood fibers, glues and

paints, they are my starting point... From there on its all imagined, and the

GRAVITY that pulls me in closer is what nudges along its OUTCOME.

Hand rolled beads of clays and woods, preserved paper flower chandeliers,

wire hand twisted crowns adorned with golden and steal grey pearls, 

vintage laces aged and stiffened for lasting beauty.

Positive and encouraging pieces, an aura of peace and being still.

Now this piece and like pieces are making way to my Burlap Luxe etsy shop.

Honor where you alone creatively are placed.

What is truly beautiful lies within.
