Retro Romp Room

An imaginary room, nice and cool.

Tea Time

Modern life should never go so far as to give up the classics.

The Fairy Party

Tinkerbell, mid-flutter, welcoming the guests.  Everyone wore sparkly jewelry, sipped on pink punch and nibbled on pieces of a birthday cake with wings (yes, the cake had wings, not the people!  except for the birthday girl, and of course, the fairies).  A fun time was had by all!

Sitting Room With Pink Stripes

There is something therapeutic about cutting pictures out of magazines, and the colour pink.

Bouquet Globe

I like those fancy glass paper weights, but they're too expensive. So I made one out of pixels instead. I guess that's a little more practical for me, since I don't write or draw on paper anymore! Word processors and graphics software rock! Pixel flowers, however, do not beat the real ones.

Sheba's Room

My cat, Sheba, lives outside mostly, but if she lived in the Matrix, this would be a projection of her residual self-image: princess-diva!

Fairy Treats For A Cloudy Afternoon

The handbook for entertaining fairies: "The Girls' Book of Flower Fairies" by Frederick Warne, has the wonderful Nouveau style illustrations by Cicely Mary Barker, which were copyrighted from 1923-1948. My mother shared these same beautiful fairy illustrations with me when I was a girl, and I've loved them ever since. I love sharing it with my granddaughters. Our fairies live among the teapots ;)

Flowers Say "I Love You"

I always wanted to be an interior designer. When I finally finished decorating my house, I started making up imaginary rooms. It's a lot cheaper than redoing my house. ;)

The rose topiary in the reflection is real; i.e., it's a photograph of a real silk flower topiary about 4' high~ one of four I made for my daughter's wedding. They used so many faux roses that I cleaned out every craft shop in the area! It was a "fairy tale wedding". Lucky for me, I still have the topiaries in my house.

Still Life With Green Pitcher

Imagine looking through a window into this room, which exists only in this picture. The shadows are from a blooming dogwood tree, in a land of peace, love and joy.

Garden Room for Winter

Speaking of Spring Fever: maybe I should be nicer and give you another option other than wishing and pining! I was trying to create a surreal, multidimensional "space" with my photos (the hummingbird is a guest) as an imaginary respite from winter woe. & isn't Chihuly great? Armani too!

I love creating imaginary rooms! It is one of my favourite things to do. What would your imaginary room look like? If you've created one, I'd love to see it. I'm listening to Chopin in this room today ;))
