Flower log Feb 2009

2009-04-09T18:08:20Z

I picked up an extra event this month via Jim Sweeney at Zombie Prom at the DNA. It was a really fun event.

I was placed upstairs by the Photography booth which was both to my advantage and disadvantage..it was a light night for sales but the event itself was wholly entertaining and amusing. I had created some very nice pieces I was very proud of, including but not limited to a scarab corsage and and some pretty St. Patty's day stuff. I had intended to photo document what was not sold today, Monday.

As fate would have it my car was burgled as I slept Saturday night, the car stereo as well as my flowers were stolen. At least the windows were not smashed nor the car itself stolen. There am I happy.

Fortunately I had a box with about 20 headbands which was not taken, I still have some really nice pieces left and intend to get them "to market" stat.

The First Shoot

2008-03-24T18:38:44Z

Thanks Everybody,

The first shoot will will be for The overall look of IKB which is heavily inspired by Alphonse Mucha. I *Adore* the look of the Master of The Poster and I want the product/cover shots to be Mucha-esque with a modern twist. I've posted some photos for a good idea of the "look" I want and the date I am still working on.

The Second Shoot will be GOTH....I have created some beautiful pieces for the darker side and I am looking for some gothy Girls to wear it well.

The dates and location I am finalizing as well as the Photographer so get inspired and stay tuned....

Thanks Again.

Hey IKB Friends

2008-03-07T02:15:00Z

The wonderful and talented Mona will be helping me design the website and March is here...I dont know if I will be able to get a free weekend...but my days off are Monday and Tuesday.

What we really need are Pictures!

Thank You if you responded to my call via blog last month and your patience as I try to get organized in the spaces of free time available to me.

If you are interested in either please let me know again here and I will be getting this together over the next couple of days.

Im also asking for Testimonials to collect and list on the site.

My friend Ronnie who is a nurse told me that her patients look forward to which flower she will be wearing that day.

I've received great compliments on the product and mostly they seem to make people happy, which makes me happy.

So if you would like to add anything feel free.

Thanks Everybodeee!

New Hair Pieces are selling Well!

2007-06-25T14:34:03Z

Recently I met a woman from Japan named Koko, she is our summer chef at the winery. She fell in love with my flowers so I gave her one, she asked to see more and bought a piece I had made with fall flowers and quail fethers, she said it matched her favorite Kimono back at home and she wanted to talk to her friend about selling them in Japan.

I was like woah.

still am.

Im other news, Mona is to help me and create a merchant website for online sales. I need to be shameless about Self-promotion and that feels silly.

Im hoping for the best.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can......

Wings&Horns

2005-11-02T04:18:19Z

So after a season of Midsummer Night's Dream and various fairy wing fiascos. I decided to attempt to make a few pair of Wings for Halloween and sell tham at my booth at the Saturday Market.

Inspired by a few pair I'd seen on the circuit and then going back to my Girlscout Troop Leader days I think I came up with a marketable construction...

As in good enough to sell at a market, not just good enough to wear to a party or on stage.

The Gem dealer came and checked them out, he said they were really well made and when he had made them back in Oregon he had charges 4 times as much.

I ended up selling two pair of wings.

Also inspired by a pair of Horns Misha had brought Christina form Oregon I made sparkly twisted red and black demon horns and sold two pairs of those as well.

(Pics to post)

Next....I am continuing to make Hait Bouquet and have added some very beautiful headresses.

Im working on making their construction "marketable" as well.

Thats all for now...

Bonita
