SXSW - happy customers

Meet little Azula... such a beautiful child... came into my booth and knew right away she wanted a wrap for herself... picked this out and asked me to dress her so she can wear it immediately. I found out the day after her visit that a friend of mine knows her and her parents... and apparently, Azula and her mom went inside Guero's and the owner of Guero's took pics of her since they're friends and Azula looked for pretty!
More happy customers...

Homemade wrapping paper

This is a wrapping job I did for my friend's birthday gift. I've been doing this wrapping style for years and years, more than I can count... I use paper grocery bags, turn them inside out, and then paint it whichever color/s I feel like... and use that as the wrapping paper. I top it off with dried flowers or some type of greenery (this was leaves/branches from my backyard) and use candle wax to keep the pretties together in place and to add the accent. It's like every wrapping is a work of art!
These are the earrings I made for my friend as her birthday gift. She LOVES fleur-de-lis and all of her jewelry that she wears are simple and classy so I made these to fit her taste and style. She LOVED them and put them on immediately upon opening!!!
