Welcome June....

Can't believe its June this Saturday! Been a busy half year for me... 

Summer's  just round the corner and it's definitely the best part of the year for me! I will be showing my work at Art A Fair, Laguna Beach, CA for the whole summer as well and for the first time this year I will be engraving on location in my booth space A18. 

I will also be displaying my work at thehe Malibu Art's Festival. The Malibu Arts Festival promises to offer something for everyone.  43 years of incredible high-end art, 43 years of beauty, 43 years of a wonderful event - known world wide!  Produced by the Malibu Chamber of Commerce, the two-day weekend event will take place July 26-27, from 10 am to 6 pm, in front of the Malibu Civic Center. ...

Dragonfly Bonanza...

Last week I had the privilege of engraving a special birthday gift for a very dear client..I love Dragonflies and I love the fact that she does too.. 

I engraved three different perfume bottles for her and an ice vanity tray by Orrefors... The fragrance bottles are by oleg Cassini. 

The ice Vanity tray reads..

Growing old is optional...

Each of the bottles has her name engraved on the bottle...I must say that I really loved the final pieces and she did too!

Clarins Engraving Event, Fashion Valley, San Diego

This I dedicated to my mom who passed away on 3/20/2014 and has gone to be with the Angels! She is with the Angel's now...  ❤️

Angel by Thierry Mugler... 

San Diego is about an hour and a half away from me...so Saturday morning I started my morning quite early to make it in time to the event. The Clarins brand portfolio includes Clarins, Jimmy Choo, Thierry Mugler, Azzaro, Porsche Design, David Yurman and Swarovski brands...

I was quite excited when I got to the store being that I was only there three months ago during their Christmas Engraving Events. Familiar faces always brings a smile to my face..Sebastian the Fragrance  manager was awesome and welcoming! Here are a few samples that i engraved.... Must say the drive was quite hard on me, but driving always gives me the opportunity to reflect on life, and the infinite possibilities. 

This week was also hard on me because my mom passed away in Kenya. May she  Rest In Peace. You will always be in my heart! 

My next event is in Nordstrom South Coast Plaza, Engraving Event for Loreal Cosmetics...4/26/2014 hope to see you there if your in the area...❤️

Here's a pic of my mom, at my first show in Newport Beach, CA..

March 8th, Nordstrom Trunk Show Event Mission Viejo

Location, Nordstrom The Shops at Mission Viejo (#326)

Engraving Event Loreal Cosmetics.

100 The Shops at Mission Viejo
SUITE 100
Mission Viejo, CA 92691

Loreal Cosmetics. 
Arrived at the store bright and early as the Trubk show started at 8am...the store was fully packed by then with lots of vendors, customers and goodies! The floor manager was kind enough to assist me in getting a table and the set up was fairly fast and I was ready to engrave by 9:30. The Beauty Trend Show was one show perfect to take your girlfriends to. Watching top industry insiders reveal spring’s best beauty trends during a high-energy runway show. Guests were then treated to complimentary makeup, skincare and fragrance consultations full of DIY tips and tricks. Plus, they  scored an exclusive (and free!) Nordstrom tote bag- just for attending... Nordstrom Mission Viejo definitely put on quite a show for it's upscale clientele and everyone seemed quite impressed and happy! The ambience was just awesome...I definitely had a steady workflow throughout the day and the store representative had quite a few pre-sell orders for me to work on as well which is always a good sign! All in all I was all finished by 3 and it's amazing how fast time moves when your super busy! The employees were amazing and very welcoming if I may add. Best part of my Saturday was engraving on Giorgio Armani Compacts that turned out great! Really loved the look...included a few examples...

Vacation Week

Decided to take the week off and catch up on life but I guess the weeks going at such a fast pace I can't keep up with it! I had a night out with my girlfriends and can't believe how much I needed the time with them to reflect on life, laughter and joy...

I have also been out shopping and one of my favorite stores Loehmanns closed down last week! I was sad as they always had such pretty amazing deals! I will definitely miss them...

Below is a piece that I have done many times over of Charging Shark/Marlin...hope you like it!
