Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf - Artisan Market

New monthly artisan market launching this May 1, 2010 at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (yum!). They'll have local artists at each of their locations. I'll be set up with my photography and hand painted wooden boxes at the S. Lamar location. Great excuse to come and get Mother's Day gifts!!!

Another birthday present & its wrapping paper...

I made these earrings for a friend's birthday present and I wrapped her gift by using roses from my yard... added some pop, color and even more texture than it already started with!

Reggae Fest 2010, Auditorium Shores - Wonderful compliment

The customer that bought this print of Montreal, Canada told me that she felt "honored" to own a print of my photography. Very sweet. Many others gave me amazing compliments on my photography which was surprising at this venue since most of the kids were looking for 'reggae' type photography. No matter how many times you hear these wonderful compliments, they always feel like the first time and always makes me feel great!!!

Reggae Fest 2010, Auditorium Shores - Funny moment...

I've never seen more kids/fans dedicated to a festival... It started pouring, I mean p-o-u-r-i-n-g rain when the kids were already in line to get into the festival. They didn't complain, just remained in line until the gates opened and they were let inside. This picture is from later on that day when it started to rain again (had great sunshine all afternoon in between the morning and evening rainstorms) and I saw a tarp with feet sticking out the bottom. I ran after this 'walking tarp' and took this quick picture before me and my camera got wet. You get the visual of this funny scnene... :)

A couple of more happy customers...

Her friend said this girl used to model... you can tell, look at her pose! Awesome!
This girl came back to change into the wrap after she purchased it. She had on sneakers, t-shirt and pants before... came back with the tank top and flip flops and asked me to dress her so she can wear out her new wrap!

Turq set...

Just a quick set of necklace and earring drops I made this morning to match my shirt today before going out to lunch... Love this color...
