GLITZ AND GLAM EIFFEL TOWER
My newest creation from my "Glitz and Glam" work station. An amazing Eiffel Tower takes on a wonderfully unique transformation. The spectacular thing about this funky piece of artwork is that EVERY PIECE on it can be "Removed and Used" or kept exactly where it is and displayed as a Conversation Piece.
A tall, metal Eiffel Tower was given a complete coating of German Glass Glitter in Silver, then Swarovski Crystals were added around the center arches for more shine. Then the decorating began: vintage French necklaces, superb rhinestone brooches & chockers (mint condition), beautiful earrings, loads of gift tags, black beaded shoe clips, a huge beaded tassle, miniature shoes, fufus and clip-on earrings were used to create this funky piece of artwork. Topping it off with a wonderful Vintage Spaghetti Poodle.
I love the way it came out and being able to remove all the pretties and display it as a simple, glittery, tres chic Eiffel Tower is Manufique!

Hi Cathy!
Thanks for stopping by for a visit on my blog. You won't believe this, but just yesterday I was looking through a back issue of Home Companion and it was the one with your little pink and white cottage in it. How cool is that? What a coincidence! Now that I know you have a blog, I will just have to spend some time getting to know you too.
Best wishes,
Lisa
