studio ~ seahorse relics

I have been busy as a beaver making new jewelry, ornaments and relics all weekend and all night every night, since I was just accepted back into Unique LA {this weekend!!} as a Holiday vendor. I had started creating for Unique back in August (unique is my favorite show to do!) then sadly found out vendors who had previously vended in the past would be accepted back for the Spring show to debut new vendors in the Holiday show. But, alas I got a sweet call last week letting me know I was in for the Holiday show, with a gigantic booth none the less! I liked when everything works out better than you expect! I really really do. Needless to say its been a frenzy/mad house here preparing to fill up a 10' x 20' booth!

Albino white Christmas tree full of handmade ornaments, check. Yards & yards of gorgeous fabric from downtown LA to cover the tables, check. New banner for my booth, check! New relics I made last night {below}, check!


And for all you fellow artists out there, I had given up on paid manicures long ago, never lasting more than a few hours on my busy fingers. Last weekend I treated myself to a pedicure and after a disapproving look from the nail tech after seeing my chipped turquoise nails, I told them my life long nail debacle, instantly I was talked into a gel nail manicure My nails {above} are still in perfect condition after spilling resin & hot glue on them, a soldering mishap & an unfortunate incident with an x-acto knife!
