In 2011 Suze took her love of the Eiffel Tower to new extremes.
She found 11" high Eiffel balsa wood bases at a local craft store, and bought every one they had for this project. With a variety of themes--her father's stamp collection, a bride and groom, calendars, maps, topiaries and more--
her finished art pieces range from elegant to whimsical to risqué.
The Eiffel Tower Project
The Eiffel Towers are 11" balsa wood structures which Suze has decorated in various themes.
Her original goal was to complete 365
of them, one per day for a year. She
soon realized that was too ambitious,
as the detailed work on each one took about a week.
The first fifty Eiffels were sold at the "Leap into Paris" Gala event on Leap Day 2012. Only a few remain; they can be seen in our Etsy store.
