Thanks Des Moines!

Shows, shows, and more shows!! The last week of September I attended the Largest Arts and Crafts Show in Des Moines. It was three amazing days where thousands of art lovers gathered at the Fairgrounds to admire and shop from more than 300 hundred exhibitors.

It was my first time attending this event and I truly enjoyed exhibiting my art creations. This experience gave me the opportunity to meet amazing artists as well as meeting and interacting with great people interested in learning more about Cold Porcelain Art and the different techniques that I use in my creations.

Here are some pictures:

 

In a couple of weeks I will be finishing an order of wedding favors that are both cute and very unique! Stay tuned for the pictures and yes... more shows!

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!

Back from Vacation!

I’m back!  We went to Florida for a big family reunion and we stopped at Disney to say hi to Mickey…we had a blast!

We planned this trip since last December and everything went perfect! And how not? Florida has great places, attractions and beaches…all in one!

It was a nice deserved vacation! Lately I’ve being really busy with special orders and my last one shipped one day before going on vacation! One of my biggest orders was this colorful cake topper (picture below) took me almost two months between planning, designing and making it. The bride asked for a colorful arrangement of roses, her favorite flower.

The cake topper, an arrangement of pink, yellow and orange roses, decorated a 5 tier wedding cake. The Bride had a fresh flower bouquet with the same colors. I really enjoyed making these roses!
