Wedding Season 2012

06/18/2012

I'm loving the extra space and natural light in my new studio. I didn't have much of either in the previous place! It has my creative juices flowing and I'll be adding many new items this wedding season. Here are a few of the new bridal hair accessories I finished this weekend and added to the Woodland Bridal shop today. More to come later this week, so check back soon : )

The Blue Door

06/16/2012

I stumbled upon this amazingly beautiful aqua blue door somewhere online...it didn't have a source when I found it. I wish I at least knew where it was taken, but I just had to share it. I LOVE doors, alaways have. Especially unusual ones. This is one of my favorites of all time. The design and artistry involved is magnificent. And it has some of my favorite colors... It ispires me daily to think out of the box ... or should I say "out of door frame"?

About Me

I started making hair crowns after I was married in August, 2011 when I made one for my own wedding. I fell in love with the materials and the process. I design, make, model, photograph and ship each item that leaves my home studio.

I started my first Etsy shop, Nature Inspires (jewelry), in 2010 and then opened the Woodland Bridal shop in September, 2011. Until recently, these were both part-time endeavors, but I am now attempting to be a full-time flower crown & jewelry artist. I also run Sweet Violet Bride - a nature inspired wedding blog.

Fun Facts:

I grew up in a family of visual artists, and being creative is as necessary as breathing to me.
I spent my college days hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and then
spent a few years as a glacier guide, naturalist and trail guide in Juneau, Alaska, where my love of nature flourished. I also have an MFA in Creative Writing and currently live in Vermont with my husband and two cats, Luke and Leia.
