How Red?...Tulip Red!

Spring is here! And I cannot feel more inspired by just seing all the beautiful colors of the blooming flowers, feeling the spring breeze and enjoying a beautiful sunny and warm day! Spring is one of my favorite seasons! I think after a long and white winter you really appreciate more the colors of Spring.

So, last week while doing some shopping at the grocery store, some beautiful red tulips caught my attention. The color was so vivid that inspired me to create the same flower. Back home, I started dying my cold porcelain paste, and after various attempts (really various!) I achieved the same vivid red of the tulip I saw :) (hooray for me!). For the ones you are not familiarized on dying cold porcelain, there are some colors (like browns and reds) that are hard to achieve.
Also I made some white tulips with red hints. Here are the pictures of my cold porcelain tulips:

Did you know that tulips have different meanings like love, purity, innocence but also symbolize a new beginning? Tulips will add a lot of meaning to your wedding and if you are looking for a special gift, tulips will be a great way to express admiration and love.

Check out my Etsy Store for the new tulips listings. I have great ideas for weddings, gifts for any occassion including for MOM :) and much more!

New Listing on Etsy: Succulents

Have you ever noticed how beautiful a Succulent is? Succulents are also called organic beauties and they are becoming more and more popular not only for weddings but also for decorations like centerpieces.
So recently I met a baker and she asked me to create some succulent flowers to decorate a cake she has planned to put on a window on her shop. So I stopped at my local floral store and saw a variety of them, but there was one in particular that stunned me! I came home and started to work on my first succulent flower. To be honest, the first one did not look like a succulent at all! So the second try came out better, working more on the edges and then finishing with a touch of color. Here are the pictures:

Check more pictures at my Etsy Store! The new listing is up, you can order as a set of three or you can email for a custom order.

New Listings on Etsy: Miniatures and Teapots

I just recently added new listings to my Etsy Shop with Miniatures and Teapots. One of my customers loved the flower arrangements teapots and asked me to make a mini arrangement for favors. So I create a set of miniatures for her party and later she order one teapot for a co-worker.

The vases are also unique, handcrafted and hand-painted by Bolivian artisans. Here are the pictures:

I really enjoy making miniatures and Teapots. Take a look at my Etsy Shop.

My Latest Works!

These are my newest creations with one of my favorite flower: roses!

I was recently asked to make this centerpiece using this exquisite nacre vase. Looking at the beautiful colors of the nacre I decided to create white roses with a soft pink touch. It was a challenging creation because of the vase shape.

Also, this past month I created these roses centerpieces. In both of them, the flower arrangement is placed on a wood base, giving a touch of nature to my flowers.

And my spring inspiration creation is this cute daisies arrangement placed inside of an acrylic display box.

The centerpieces and the daisies are already on my Etsy Shop. Take a Look!

A milestone for Cold Porcelain Art

I know that I have been absent from my blog for the past month, but I have been working on great things (of course, my orders) for Cold Porcelain Art.

Well, let me start:

As many of you know I opened my Etsy Shop, where currently you can purchase great flower gifts for any special occasion. Currently there is 7 flower arrangements to choose from and more to come. Here are the ones that had been featured on Etsylush (It’s a website that promotes the best of Etsy.com):

Another important step for Cold Porcelain Art is that now a mobile version site is available. Yeah! Thanks so much to my hubby who built a great site, helping my customers access my shop from their phones and ipads. Since it went live just a couple of weeks ago the traffic has been a success! I knew that a mobile site is pretty much a must nowadays, what I did not know is that there are so many brides-to-be (and wedding planers :D) on the go.    

And the last one is that I am preparing for my next Bridal Show, so stay tuned for the event details…

Exciting News: Etsy Shop now OPEN!

I am so excited to announce that my Etsy Shop, Cold Porcelain Art, is now open for business! You will find great gifts, for any occasion. Currently, there are some items, but I will be adding more over the next few days.

All of my creations are handcrafted flowers, making each of them a one-of-a-kind piece of art! So for that next special occasion, visit my shop at www.coldporcelainart.etsy.com and Say it with a flower and Make it last forever.

Thanks to all my followers and supporters! I appreciate all your help on building my business!
