A Good Change I've been Waiting for

I finally have set up shop at a new location!  Here are some pictures.

The new location at 922 Indie is a neat setup.  The owners made this shelf out of old doors, and added in triangular shelves.  I added in my mini flower market by hanging mason jars with wire on hooks.

I'm having to discontinue some of my colors, so I'll eventually have more space.

And of course it was Instagramed. I'm very happy with the new location and hope for the best in the future at 922 Indie!

Update

Well hello and welcome to my first posting in months!  Because I'm bad at keeping up with this blog, and I'm lucky enough to have free time AND my brain reminding me that I haven't written in forever!  Yuzah!  Some big events have occurred in the past few months; we've gotten through the summer which included another evening at the GlassyAlley for the FFAT.  I also had the chance to participate in the June Saturday Art Market at the Tornado Gallery in the Depot District of our lovely city, and then experienced the disheartening task of having to repair some of my inventory.  But things have gotten better since that incident, and better opportunities have arisen because of it.  I've got some new cards and new ideas, and now onto sharing them:

So after this show above, an unexpected rain storm hit Lubbock one night.  In the moment, this storm was a major blessing because our area, only a small part of the entire area in Texas being affected by the worst drought in over a century, was immensely dry and had had grass fires along with fires that destroyed property and homes all summer.  A few days later though I visited the gallery and my booth had been rained on; a major leak through the roof of the gallery.  So...a little cleanup took place, and the ripping apart of some items, mostly flowers.  One canvas ended up needing to be taken apart, and I'll soon fix it up all brand new.  

Tearing some of my damaged paper flowers from their stems.  Ended up playing "He loves me,  he loves me not" to help my heartbroken feelings of having to destroy my own art.  It's hard to do!  But at the same time, it did feel great to tear something apart haha.

Empty stems, awaiting some new petals.

 And some new card designs:

So there's an update of what has been happening with Dollmark!  I'll post soon about my sponsorship with the Cowtown Indie Bazaar, and some of my new plans for designs and the business.

Wedding Bouquets

Wow! The end of February is coming up so quickly!

Yesterday, I figured out that I have 2 months of my college career left to go. Yikes! I'm so excited to graduate, but completely clueless as to what to do afterwards. I'll DEFINITELY be working much more on my cards, flower, and art, and I'll also be looking for a few places to sell on a regular basis. But for now ... some updates!

During Christmas break I worked on wedding invitations and the wedding party bouquets for a good friend of mine from freshman year. Her colors are a bright electric blue and a clover green (although the greens vary throughout). She adores butterflies, so those are everywhere.

These were the first invitations I've had the pleasure of making, and I think they came out pretty good for my first time. I made the tri-fold card, then had a template that would cut out the pocket for the rsvp card.

She also gave me the opportunity to take my flower making to a new level, and asked me to make her bouquet (and the bridesmaid's bouquets, and the boutonnieres). She asked me months before I needed to even start planning, but I had plans in my mind minutes later. This is the bridal bouquet (made with white spiral roses, and forget-me-nots which she personally requested).

I'm hoping to add custom wedding bouquets to my shop this summer. It was so much fun to make all of these. And the best part is I get to keep one since I'm a bridesmaid!
