Kyndal and everyone involved put on a glorious event in the most beautiful setting nestled in evergreen trees.

I hosted a workshop painting sea shells where people painted everything from a beach sunset with fish eye lens distortion to cats and fun abstract patterns!

Rachel happened to be wearing a gorgeous mermaid costume that complimented the entire theme.

Crystal was a narwhal painting a pineapple and everyone who stopped by made the event that much more fun.

In preparation for the event, I created new resin coated art prints. I embedded various things like ferns and glitter, cut and painted wood that I mounted wall hangers on.

These sold like hot cakes - especially the 8 x 10 prints of "Selfie At Crater Lake". I am so pleased that my creations were so well received and I will be making more for Parke Diem on June 29th, 2019!

I purchased a new tent for vending at festivals and farmers market, so I took her out for her first adventure.

My set up was engineered on the fly with second hand shelving that I sanded and repainted. I raised them up to eye level using a combination of tomato stakes, zip ties and paracord.

My corner merchandise rack was made from 2 garden trellises. I am in the process of upgrading these displays with bamboo to be collapsible, easier to set up and reusable.
