Get Fabulous with FeatherHeart Hair Fashions Tonight on Deco Drive... Let us tickle your fancy at 7:30pm.

It was really wonderful to do this shoot. Shireen advised me to get girls that had experience modeling. After being an art director for more years than I'm willing to admit, I new she was right. The girls - 3 from the Academy of Glam (www.academyofglam.com) models: Shawn Sullivan (a beautiful pin-up looking redhead), Christy Hord (a willowy blond with Heather Graham looks) and Nikita Turk (a delicate ebony beauty with killer eyes), came through by some hard work on the part of dear Susan DeGregory. Also from the Academy, was Daniela Vieira, the wonderful stylist who made sure that not a hair was out of place. Sandra Carolina Hidalgo (a Latina hottie with devastating cheekbones  - and incredibly fit at that) was the fourth model, a connection through Lulu Cosmetics, (www.lulucosmetics.com), a brand that she has come to personify. My other Lulu Cosmetics connection was the make-up master, E. Pierre Pope, who made sure all my worry lines were magically erased, at least for a while. :-) Photographer Angel Rivera snapped pics as things were happening.

Shireen put everyone at ease with her playful (but professional) personality (she's soooo gorgeous), but I admit I was very nervous, trying to run through all the details in my mind. Most of the designs you will see during the segment are available through my online shop. Sometimes, I'm not as judicious as I should be when it comes to photographing and uploading my work. I need an assistant! :-) But, you can always just call me. I would love to hear from you.

If you are not in the south Florida area, don't despair! I ship wherever you are!

As with any positive thing, don't keep it to yourself, but spread it like wildfire!

And remember: FeatherHeart brings you cutting edge design destined to become your wardrobe's timeless classic.

FeatherHeart at Florida Craftsmen Gallery

FeatherHeart will be exhibiting 3 new designs at the prestigious Florida Craftsmen Gallery in St. Petersburg, Florida. The exhibit, Out of the Closet: Art to Wear, is co sponsored by IKEA and the International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa, Florida.
The construction highlights the beauty of the canopy bases from coconut palms. The material is cleaned, treated and shaped into stunning shapes and integrated with feathers and crystals to form eye catching fashion cocktail hats.

HatLife.com features FeatherHeart - AGAIN!

HatLife.com is now featuring 2 pieces from the new FeatherHeart collection. This new collection uses dried, treated palm frond canopy components, cleaned, caressed and coaxed into headpieces that will make you a natural centerpiece! Of course, the finishing includes feathers, fabrics and crystals.
I am actively seeking representation in the NY area as well as on the west coast for my newest collection as well as my pet line.
