Tisk Tisk Messy Studio

Inside The Studio-

This morning I woke up to a messy studio, again. So, I decided to take a picture of it and post it, in hopes it will force me to clean it. This is what it looks like after preparing for Unique LA in a frenzy. It hurts to look at! Tomorrow it will be officially one week of avoidance, so tomorrow I am going to clean it up.

After I clean it I will post the after pictures as proof!


Some fun things to take note of:

*The mink flung on my desk (not sure where he came from and how he got there!)

*Meet Albino Giraffe (in the front)- If you have not met him already- He is my VERY popular belt model at shows.

* $10 flea market alligator- probably the most prized possession I own (above my desk)- . I gave him a face lift, by taking the baby spoon out of his mouth that was used to prop it open at the market and use epoxy to put him back together. He has lost a few toes through my moves that need to be reattached.

What Struck my Fancy @ Unique LA

I didn't have many opportunities to look around while at Unique LA. Though, as usual I did manage to find a few things I wanted in my short time wondering around!

Chocolateandsteel- Christine is making me custom snail stud earrings! I actually stumbled across her snail necklace on etsy, printed out the picture and pinned it above my desk the week before. I rarely find myself printing something I like out and hanging it up. But, this particular snail conjured up the same feelings as big fluffy cats in my heart. So, I was very excited when I randomly came across this special snail and it's creator in real life, on my way to get a drink!
Can't wait for my earrings to arrive!

Dara Ettinger- I originally met Dara at my first show, The Pasadena Bead & Design Show. I have a druzy ring in green I got there from Dara and I get soooo many compliments on it! So I was eyeing a purple amethyst one and a few others, but just couldn't make up my mind. Next time! The picture doesn't even do it's sparkle justice!

Show Preperation: The Making of Air Plant Gardens

This is what it looks like making air plant desktop gardens for Unique LA this weekend.
Trust me you don't even want to see the jewelry studio! That is why I am making the air plant terrariums on floor in the other room--the jewelry studio is in pure chaos!
