I love the absurd...and a footstool with feet in all sorts of shoes is right up my alley....I had great fun researching shoes and was amazed at the variety these days ...anything goes..especially little flats....this appeals to my over sixty feet...long since i have given up the heels... these new little flats are so girlie and appealing....how comfortable...is a wonder ?...I especially like the ones that are made of a rubber resembling gummy bears with an outrageous pom pom ......in gummy bears colors..you know, that green that glows in the dark....lol...just the ticket to spice up an old girl like me...anyway...this custom piece should be fun to work...plenty of scope for fibers...lots of sparkle.... I hate to say it but I am so old I have worn every one of these styles at some point in my life..... even the ankle bracelet...toe rings and a thumb ring....along with purple velvet bell bottom pants with embroidery butterflies up the side....lol...I can still remember how cool I felt in those pants .....
I am a working artist. I have been designing needlepoint since 1972,when after graduating college , I took an apprenticeship at American Needlework Center in Georgetown, DC. I found my calling and have never looked back.I have designed for the Washington Cathedral and the White House and continue a large custom business . In 2000 I started to design for wholesale under the name BY GAIL .In 2004 Squiggee designs was born and introduced on eBay. These designs appeal to me, just fun! Squiggee opened up the world embellishments to me. I have been married to a very wonderful master cabinet and furniture designer going on 37 years.He is the only man that has not bored me.He has a wicked sense of humor and a loving nature,we are well matched.Since his early retirement in 2008, he joined the Squiggee Family , managing the office and he is our link to the shops. He has become such an intracranial part of the day to day running of Squiggee Designs , that shops refer to him as " Mr. Squiggee". We have a Chi-weenie named Twinkle , a mix of Doxie and Chihuahua and her older brother, a six year old black miniature poodle named Omar , who sports with a small white goatee.
