Cherrywood Art Fair

2013_caf-poster-final

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be at Cherrywood Art Fair from 10am – 5pm today at booth #82. My other show, the Violet Crown Arts Festival was cancelled for the weekend, so Cherrywood invited me to exhibit at their fair again this year.

The funds raised through the Cherrywood Art Fair go towards the CHULA League + one of my favorite programs that I had the pleasure to be a part of this year, the Little Artist, Big Artist Program.

Little Artist/Big Artist pairs East Austin students with professional artists to experience the creative process from ideation through commercialization.

Mentored by a Big Artist, the Little Artist creates art, along with a journal of the experience. Little Artist works, along with selected art by the professional artists, are displayed in the spring show. One work by each Little Artist is auctioned at the prestigious Cherrywood Art Fair each year on the second weekend in December.

Round Rock Market Days, Holiday Show Schedule & Bath Bomb Making Class

Come and see me at the Round Rock Market Days located in Downtown Round Rock (just north of Austin) this Saturday! I’ll have my fall scents out like Pumpkin & Pepperberry, and you can also check out my fall colors of nail lacquer. My glow in the dark polishes are especially fun for halloween! halloween

On October 17th, I have an upcoming Bath Fizzy Workshop at the Austin Tinkering School where you will get to make and take home 9 bath fizzies you have made from start to finish! You will get to custom scent and color them!

Cedar Park Farms to Market

chicken-egg-duck-eggI’m not just a vendor at Cedar Park Farms to Market. I’m an avid supporter of slow food and eating local. At market this week we picked up duck eggs from Countryside Family Farm, a container of Fromage Blanc from Mill-King Market & Creamery – I topped a piece of cornbread I had with it and some strawberry preserves,p1010337-640x427 veggies from Johnson’s Backyard Garden: Carrots, Kale, Rainbow Chard, Brussel Sprouts, Green Onions & a pound of shrimp from K&S Seafood. I’m going to make shrimp scampi with Kalyn’s Kitchen’s recipe tonight for a potluck for a friend that is visiting from the Far East!

Make Your Own Soap Booth Video & Pictures!

Hey guys! I finally uploaded my first video today! What do you think?

This is the first video I’ve ever put together! Monica held the camera on me on a windy day at the farmers market while I helped Xavier make his soap. He had already picked out his toy, color and fragrance when we stared rolling and I showed him how to use a color wheel to make orange.

It was cold and windy on Saturday, so we were all bundled up! There’s a live band every week at the Cedar Park Farms to Market, so thanks for bearing with me with the sound quality for my first video!

For more information on the Make Your Own Soap Booth check out  and join the facebook party here: https://fetosoap.com/facebook. I’m on twitter as @fetosoap if you’d like to connect with me there!

We Made Soap at Cedar Park Farms to Market

I spent Saturday morning at Cedar Park Farms  to Market where Erica & I made soap at the booth. It was Erica’s first day. She had fun making soap with the very excited kiddos! The adorable little girl in the pink told us that she couldn’t wait to go home and use her strawberry scented horsey soap.

If you would like for me to make soap with you and your group,  just let me know! I would love to teach them how to make soap in Austin and surrounding areas.

I’ll be back at Cedar Park Farms to Market  at Lakeline Mall next weekend with my Make Your Own Soap Booth if you want to check it out.

Austin Nerd Cave Showcase Wrap-up

I had fun at Sunday’s Austin Nerd Cave Showcase  in S. Austin. I was mostly at my table during the show, but I managed to come home with a naked lady (one of Lou Pon’s signed prints)  and a condom! (a Latex Avenger Comic promo).  It definitely was a different kind of show! I finally met Melissa Stewart of Crab Apple Designs. She was set up next to me, but her recycled comic book notebooks blended in so well to the store, I didn’t realise they were journals she makes! Keep an eye out for the next one this summer! Many thanks to Jennifer Cunningham and Racketeer Robot for organizing and to Tribe Comics and Games for hosting this artist showcase.

I’ll be spending the rest of this week creating goodies for this weekend’s Cedar Park Farms to Market and Make Your Own Soap booth I’ll be running during the market.

Cedar Park Farms to Market – Saturdays at Lakeline Mall

Guess who is a the newest vendor at Cedar Park Farms to Market? This gal!
