Paper Accordians

It's been awhile, crocodile! I take the blame. I'm pretty sure that last year I used the excuse, being happy and full of life and falling in love. So, this time I will use the excuse, continuing to fall in love with the same man, being happy and full of life and roadtrips! We have been visiting family lately and just enjoying beautiful summer sunshine. A little while ago, I had an art opening at The Building in East Nashville. Vinea provided some delectable wines, and a delightful time was had by all. Here is a new piece I made for it: Colorado Spring. When I was there in March, there was an odd but wonderful mix of flowers and snowflakes. Magically, at a thrift shop in an old Miner town in the mountains, we found this old lace... flowers and snowflakes! Oh to be back in the mountains. Over the holiday weekend, I loaned some new vintage floral hair accessories out to my sweet friends Feather and Belle. They had fun playing around in them and using Laura's engagement party decorations as props! See one of their videos below.

And... they're on their way! Feather & Belle have played 3 shows in Utah, and they're onto their final Sundance show tonight. So exciting for them! And if I haven't raved about their album enough... please. Do yourself a favour and get a copy! Here are some peepshots of the treats I woodburned and stitched up for their stage.

Also.. some darling friends and I took an absolutely wonderful picnic to the vineyard on Sunday. It was a cool... foggy... and somewhat gloomy day. But we brought a table full of sunshine! Pictures to come.

Feather & Belle.. & Sundance!

Two of my lovely, sweet friends have been working on a fun musical project called Feather & Belle. It's the kind of music you just want playing in your apartment, or in the car, or at work... while shaking your hips and singing along, not even realizing it's been looping for hours. (Obviously I'm guilty of this) Anyhow, one thing led to another for these talented ladies, and next week they'll be playing their FIRST show... at Sundance! As if this isn't exciting enough, they asked me to help work on their set design for the show. Here's a little snippet of my progress from yesterday. Enjoy their music video in the meantime, and find them on iTunes if you like what you see.
