Welcome to Michelle Masters' wonderful, unique topiary themed gifts for the home, gardener, and animal lover!  A unique blend of whimsy and elegance, Michelle's collections incorporate watercolor depictions of topiary—living sculpture shaped by careful pruning into a broad range of decorative items.

Living in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, artist Michelle Masters' love of gardening and growing things found their way to paper through her fun topiary creations. Her clever images are clean, simple, uncluttered and well designed. Michelle received and MFA in computer graphic design from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1993. Her fine art (watercolor sample shown here) has been shown in state and national exhibitions. 

Michelle considers herself to be a very tactile person and places a strong emphasis on the "feel" of her products—the weight of the stationery paper, the smooth finish of her framed prints and the texture of the fabric which shows through the paint on her pillows. She finds richness in the details and desires to translate that sense of quality in all that she creates.

The pillow here features her "Shear Bliss" design. Who says a dog wouldn't enjoy a couch made from a topiary hedge? Wouldn't it be bliss to stretch out on a sofa in the garden for the afternoon?

This is definitely the place to find a sweet little birthday, holiday or thank-you gift. Presentation is always important and in that regard, the creative packaging of Michelle's products is simply wonderful.

There is an varied collection of art that includes themes related to Dogs (Golden Retrievers, Labs, Poodles, Terriers, Pugs, German Shepherds), Cats, Animals (Horses, Rabbits, Pigs), Children, Garden Fashion, Hats, Holidays, and more.

 
Michelle Masters offers two versions of her wonderful pocketed aprons, one for adults and one for children. They are simply perfect for the gardening folks  and for tinkering in the kitchen!

And, they are just as wonderful to use for crafts projects.

The aprons are 100% Natural Cotton canvas (beige in color), and feature a topiary design handprinted in its center. They are really heavy duty and thereby truly functional.

The Adult Apron is 20 inches x 28 inches, one size fits all (the dress is not included). It sports three pockets on the bottom that are great to fill with seeds, supplies and other goodies.

The Children's Apron is 12 inches x 19 inches, one size fits all. It sports two pockets in the front of the apron for whatever a child fancies it to carry.

These canvas aprons make a wonderful gift set for Mom's and their daughters wanting to bond and work together.

The aprons feature two types of design. The first is simply the standard image as shown, free-formed and without any borders.

And, to celebrate the energy and boldness of youth, for her Children's Aprons only, Michelle offers her highly colorful and imaginative Enchanted Garden images.

The second type of design is provided in a vertically colored-boxed orientation. The boxed orientation is additionally embellished with a coordinating sentence that is written around its perimeter (not shown in design views below, but are printed on product).

The sentences (provided here) are light and fun, certainly adding to the charm of the design.
