part two

here it is. One more piece and the "Summer Lotus" triptych will be complete! Then: onto the NEXT set of work. I'm thinking it may be entitled "Global Bazaar"....but, I digress.

Part two? She is complete and I think I am quite happy with how she turned out.

(the icing on the) Cupcake Break

For the next week or so, I will be taking a break from the weekly "icing." Lots going on...lots of changes coming that (hopefully!) I will be able to tell you about in the next couple of weeks. But, for now, here's what I think we should ALL do.

The Icing on the Cupcake

Moroccan tea glasses. They could definitely add some spice to your next tea party. But, what about filling them with some bubbly and raising them in a toast at a dinner party celebration? Or, picture them brimming with colorful, freshly squeezed juices at your next Sunday brunch. SO many possibilities for these little lovelies!

I purchased my favorite orange and gold glasses while shopping in this amazing town, but if you aren't able to take a quick overseas jaunt before your next party they have some fun ones here . And, I would bet you could also find some here.

Cheers!!

collecting and gathering

Busy putting together a colorful pile of props for a photo shoot tomorrow morning in this fun area of Nashville. Good times are about to be had..especially if the shoot is followed by lunch here. I'm telling you, people, Saturdays just don't get much better than this!

The Icing on the Cupcake

Same little clear glass bottles as last week, totally different look. Fill them with chartreuse spider mums (one of my personal FAVS), tie silky black ribbon onto them and hang them from a white, multi-tier, metal plant stand. Viola - This week's icing!

work in progress...

I know. I have been talking about it alot and (finally) part two of the Summer Lotus Triptych is under way..and here's some proof. Truth be known, I am actually even farther (or is it further?) along then this picture shows. But, I just haven't gotten it all photographed yet...still busy trying to get the remains of the Mod Podge off my sticky fingers.

Hope your Monday has been HAPPY!

sunshine and happiness

Blueberry cream coffee at sweet local bakeries, inspiring conversations with creative friends, scouting jaunts through sunny local parks, and tomorrow....my hands will be covered with paint and glue.

Weekends like this one could spoil me forever.
