The Start of this Dazzling Journey
It’s time to start really sharing the what, how, why, and what’s next in the evolution of these sun-catching wind chimes and other creations. Here is a little backstory and look ahead to fun things to come. I get asked all the time: how in the world did driftwood and crystal chandelier prisms come together?
In the world of artistry, there are creators who not only leave an indelible mark on the canvas but also infuse life into their creations. Angel Sims, a visionary artist known for her mesmerizing sun-catching windchimes and diverse works of art, is gearing up for an exciting journey into 2024. With over 7,000 windchimes gracing various corners of the globe, Angel stands at the intersection of rustic and refined.
In the magical world of fashion and artistry, Angel Sims has created a Cinderella story of her own. With her remarkable talent and attention to detail, she has recreated Marilyn Monroe's iconic Cinderella slippers, giving them a dazzling twist. Angel's Tootsies, as she affectionately calls them, have become the talk of the town, spreading their magic from the Isle of Man to the West Coast of Florida.
Checkout the dazzling developments and a little history we discovered on our journey to create heels inspired by Marilyn Monroe's iconic "Cinderella Slipper" pair! From the moment we saw these magical shoes strapped to her beautiful feet, bringing these crystal clear wonders to the world has been an obsession.
Dazzling Driftwood congratulations go out to Annette Rodriguez of Hawaii for her correct answer during the Trivia contest on our Dazzle Live show March 17th, 2022. The question was, "What inspired Angel's attraction to shiny things?" Answer, Gold Nuggets!
Our precious Angel, 18 years old in her hospital bed, after a nasty fall during practice on the ice, required serious spinal surgery. As tears welled in her eyes, she looked into mine and asked a question that rocked our world.
A love affair with the iconic Marilyn Monroe is not difficult to begin, even decades after her tragic passing. Mine really started as I learned about her difficult upbringing in the foster care system. I began to study her life and gaze at endless pictures of her unmatchable radiance.
Dazzling Dreams really do come true! All that and more has come to pass via the most precious gift I’ve ever received. A dazzling, 6 lb. 11 oz., 19 inch baby girl, so beautiful and serene, with the face of an Angel … believe it or not she was accidentally named … “Angelic.”
