Show Schedule

Elizabeth and I are thrilled to announce that we will be at the Gruene Market Days for Oct, Nov, and Dec. We will be in the same booth spot all three times. Remember to just look for the pink vanity. :) We have lots of fun Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas items planned as well as our usual offering of jewelry and accessories which all make great gifts!

Join us at Kerbey Lane North!

Elizabeth and I will be at Kerbey Lane North in Austin, Tx on August 2nd. Kerbey Lane is a local Austin eatery that has several locations. They serve all natural meats and help support local farms. Lunch and Breakfast are such busy times that artists set up shop so that customers can browse and buy while waiting for their tables. Come shop while you wait for a table or just come to shop. :)

What a weekend!

Elizabeth and I had a great time at our first show in Gruene. A big thank you to everybody who stopped by. It was so fun chatting with people as they browsed through our jewelry and accessories. Gruene really is such an adorable place to shop and sell. We met some great artists who were so helpful and encouraging. We hope to be back in Gruene for September.

Sweet 16 Portrait Cake!

Inspired by the life-size portrait wedding cake I created last year, Diamond asked me to create a "mini" version to celebrate her 16th birthday.

From the waist up is polymer clay(12") while the skirt is cake!
This was a collaborative effort between sculptor, Elizabeth Bonura, and a baker in Atlanta, GA (sorry, I do not know her name!)

It's official! Denise and I are very excited to announce Little Meadow Studios' first showing at the Market Days in the historic district of Gruene! Gruene (pronounced "green") is located only thirty minutes outside San Antonio and just an hour from Austin. Gruene is part of New Braunfels, Tx. We will have a booth set up the weekend of July 19th and 20th. The Market is open from 10-5 on both Saturday and Sunday. Gruene and New Braunfels both have lots of fun things to do and great places to stay. It's a great road trip if you are in the area. Stop by and say "Hi!" We'd love to see y'all there :)

Inspiration gone backwards

Usually when I buy jewelry components I buy them for a specific polymer clay focal that I've already made. However, lately I find myself buying a lot of vintage glass beads and vintage metal components with absolutely no plan for how I'm going to use them. This is really out of character for me as I am certainly a planner-type of gal.
So I find myself with these three little boxes full of treasures and no idea what I'm going to do with them. Well, I know I will make some jewelry of course. :) I've decided to let the little vintage treasures inspire the polymer clay which is totally backwards of how I normally work. I have two new pieces so far from this new way of working and I've decided to start a whole new collection inspired by my three little boxes. I'm calling it the Elemental Charms collection. I'm super excited about it because now I have a great excuse to buy even more treasures.
