A Portrait of Baby Shoes in Watercolor

"I remember that my baby shoes were bronzed and sat on the book shelf in my parent's home. I am sure this can still be done, but when my grandchildren started arriving, I decided to do a small painting of the shoes they took their first steps in to have on my wall. I have 10 Grandchildren to date. I get their shoes after they have out grown them and I do an individual watercolor of the shoes of each child. Many of my friends wanted the watercolors of their children and grandchildren's first shoes also, so I am now doing other peoples' children's' shoes as custom paintings. If you want me to do the same for you send me the little shoes you want to remember your child in, I will design the painting and get them back to you. The real shoes are best, so I can arrange them as I paint their "portrait", but if that is not possible I can work from a photo."

Custom Design Needlepoint

"My love of color has brought me to painting, designing jewelry, photography and needlework. I love the colorful yarns that wrap around the needle and wind into the canvas to produce a tapestry. I needlepoint to relax. It is a wonderful art form because you don't need a studio. It is not messy. Best of all it is portable! You can take it with you anywhere.

I began designing needlepoint in 1960. I supplied custom designs for many shops in New York City. My designs were featured in Arts in America magazine. One of my latest designs is a throw pillow of the St. Paul's School Shield for a graduate to sew. I design needlepoint slippers and purses, picture frames and telephone book covers. I even designed an eye patch for Ambassador Benjamin Oehlert of Palm Beach to wear after eye surgery!

Send me a photograph of what you would like me to design for you to sew!"

"My grandchildren are as individual as snowflakes"

Artist Wendy Addams designed CHARMING IMPRESSIONS to celebrate the individuality of each of her grandchildren. By having their actual fingerprints on a gold medallion, Wendy has a precious image of each grandchild to carry with her at all times. She wears these "impressions" on a bracelet.

Now you can have CHARMING IMPRESSIONS of your family also. In a special partnership between the artist who designed these charms and an exclusive Buckhead jeweler, a process has been created so others can treasure prints of their loved ones also. As the branches of your family tree grow add to your own heirloom collection. You can honor all your loved ones and family members in this unique way.

Whether you wear these charms on a bracelet, necklace, or display them in a variety of other ways, you will have a beautiful and meaningful token of a loved one that will be cherished for generations to come.

These memory medallions are so exact that they can be used for identity or security. Available in two sizes, they can be cast in silver or gold. Birthstones and engravings are suggested for further personalization.

To make an appointment for your custom made heirloom medallions, contact designer Wendy Adams here or call Lee Gotthelf at Golden Fleece Jewelers, LTD (404) 352-0296.
