August, 2010:
Greetings from Madame Sassy. This Summer I have been busy creating new "charm" styled pendants. I have also created a sold a couple taxidermy shadow box scenes. Those were really fun to do. I will be updating my website in the coming weeks, so please check back for new items!
If you are interested in other items I sell, including some vintage wares that I am peddling, please check out my Etsy Store here: Madame Sassy on Etsy
Curiosity(def.) Curiosity is an emotion related to natural inquisitive behaviour such as exploration, investigation, and learning, evident by observation in human and many animal species. The term can also be used to denote the behavior itself being caused by the emotion of curiosity. As this emotion represents a drive to know new things, curiosity is the fuel of science and all other disciplines of human study. My artwork and crafts strive to depict human curiosity in all forms! I hope you enjoy my site and my items.
A Curio is an unusual object of art or piece of bric brac. My fascination & passion for all things old and odd influence my life as well as my work.
Many of my creations are made from curios or objects that have been discarded; antiques that I display oddly in a hand made shadow box or a feathered clip showcasing Victorian adornments to remind ourselves of history past. I often times make Memento Mori to remind us of our own mortality. Or I may use discarded taxidermy pieces, to remind us how beautiful everything can be, living and dead, new and old.
I search flea markets, antique stores and other nooks & crannies looking for old things, odd things and things that have been discarded. My taxidermy pieces come from either a reputable taxidermy artist/dealer, or are found objects that have been discarded or found in antique stores.
