Thou Shalt Not Jinx

Exciting! K liked all the boxes she ordered and is going to try to get them to wholesale in other boutiques. She's got plans beyond that should her initial plans become successful--now it's just a waiting game as to what happens. She won't really know until October or so for any updates, so patience is key. That's all I know, and even if I knew more I probably wouldn't elaborate because I don't want to jinx anything! Here's to crossing fingers and having positive thoughts!

My Cup Runneth...

...over with paint! New boxes to add to the order. K loved the first 6 so much, she ordered 6 more for her first order. I'm sooo excited she likes them so much--now I hope some customers will, too. I'll probably be posting some to my Etsy store, too, after I fulfill K's order. Which one do you like best?

Next in Line

Here's the next little trinket box. Ms. Boutique Owner loved our pink one shown in the previous post, so I'm on to create more! Yay! I personally really like the color combination on this one; it's different, but a nice "grounding" colors of aqua and green, but with a punch of orange that, to me, is a fun surprise. Do you like combinations like this one? Let me know what you think! Do you have a favorite color combination? Aqua and Red? Olive and Periwinkle? (Sport team colors don't count! : )  )

Trinket Box Sample

So in an effort to get a new sample to the boutique owner (mentioned in the previous post), I whipped up this little candy colored delight. I still need to glaze it, but I wanted to post it, in the hopes of getting some feedback. Hope you like it--hope the boutique owner likes it, too! : )

Paper Trail

Exciting News--a beautiful boutique not too far from me may be interested in my hand-painted trinket/jewelry boxes!! Wish me luck! The boxes will have pretty paper decoupage on the inside. Here's a sample so  you can get an idea of the bright colors an patterns I like to play with. The second photo is of one of the boxes the boutique owner bought as a sample.

Let me know your opinion: Is this a type of gift you would buy for a friend?

Vintage Fashion

So a couple weekends ago my family and I meandered around an "Art in the Park" event in Morro Bay. There were so many beautiful things there, from photography, painters of various mediums (media??), ceramic pottery, jewelry of all kinds--just beautiful! And there were a few booths that had the kind of art I like to do a lot: repurposed furniture and wares. Being a sucker for anything fashion-themed, I pounced on these two window-framed "Couture" fashion posters. The colors are perfect for my art room, which is going thru a bit of a revamp right now. Dear husband agreed they would look great in the room, so lucky me got these two early birthday presents.

If you have--or could have--your own creative space, what would you do to liven it up? Let me know as I always love hearing and being inspired by fresh ideas!
