AN ABUNDANCE OF PINKNESS

Nikka transformed the studio into an abundance of pinkness for her friend Charmaine's Bridal Shower and did those girls ever know how to party!!

I'll show you the very beginnings of the day when signs were posted to guide everyone.




At the door leading to the studio...


Balloons to lead the way...

Needed....more balloons.  Helium tanks to the rescue!



The bride to be needed a special chair!

I was delighted Lovely Marine and Sweet Alyssa could see the studio before the party.  Especially the 'Wall of Love'.

I love the window treatment with the sheer curtains and rose garlands encircling it.

The strawberries in the Champagne glasses was a wonderful touch!

Another nice touch...

And party favors...

Everyone took advantage of the 'Photo Booth'!

Pretty bridesmaids all in a row...

Now this is really sweet...

Let the games begin...
How's this for fashion forward wedding dresses?

Too much fun...

I went to the studio to take a photo with the bride to be at the Wall of Love!

Well into the night, goodbyes were said....

Now it's on to wedded bliss!

I'M SO PROUD OF MY STUDENTS

.....and their current exhibit at the Crain Art Gallery in the Crowell Public Library in San Marino.  Nikka followed my design in helping everyone set up as I was still in Florence.  I was so happy to know that Lynda Lyons, the awesome head of the Crain Art Gallery (seen on the left)  could also be there.  Next to her are exhibitors Clara, Laurie, Kathleen, Dr. Eileen, Colleen and Kc.  The rest of the exhibitors had already finished setting up.


The big day for the reception finally arrived on January 5th...

Tony was a spell binding Brush painting demonstrator...

as was Lynne Sims....

Kc had a delightful arrangement of her original work along with greeting cards...

And so did Violet...







Kc and her beautiful work...

Not quite sure how Laurie Pie managed to photobomb me with Curtis and Yi-Lin...

We made up for it with a photo with dear Carol...

Colleen, Kathryn, Kc and Sandie...

How cute are Cindy and Sandie....

I'm so proud of everyone....my amazing artists!

The exhibit continues through February 15th so if you haven't yet seen it...what are you waiting for!
It's a veritable feast for the soul!!!
