New in the Gallery--Sassy Ladies

It seems that our space is being invaded by bunches of sassy gals.  Some are recent arrivals but others have been here all along.  Take a look.
Artist Rose Vollmer has taken a circuitous route to her current passion of doll-making.  In her previous life she owned an interior design company with customers across the U.S.  Fifteen years later, she and her husband started Pizazz, a corporate a nd event gift business.  This gave her a creative outlet until she discovered . . . art dolls.  This has led to being published in several publications including Soft Dolls and Animals and Doll Crafters and Costuming.
You will find her new line called Fabulous Floozies--Outrageously Sexy Art Dolls with Sassy Sayings here.  Rose claims that these girls "are talking and dressing like my mother told me I shouldn't but how I always secretly wanted to!"
The girl above has a card that reads "Good girls are made of sugar and spice--bad girls are made of vodka and ice."














The doll to the right has a tag that says, "Best friends know how crazy you are, and still choose to be with you in public."

One customer commented that you might see these girls on Van Buren Street.  His girlfriend confronted him, "How would you know?"  Oops.




Not really recent, but yet sassy are the ornaments and greeting cards designed and hand-painted by local artist, Deb Lasch.  Her art takes advantage of hilarious sayings such as "If I die while shopping at Wal Mart, drag my body to Neiman Marcus" or "Red wine is my favorite anti-oxidant."  The ornament shown above says "Girls just wanna have funds."  Makes me want to dance, too.

Finally, California artist, Susan Hargrove, shows her sassy girls on a 22" x 9" pillow.  We also carry pillows that feature hearts, black birds and crazy cats.
