I know this isn't my usual painted mosaics and art news type of post, but this book/author came highly recommended. I'm just now getting into a bit of SciFi, I could easily become hooked......at least for awhile!

I've been so busy creating my wooden letters for a couple of stores (Liz Daly's on Main St. Greenville and Two Doors Down on Main St Spartenburg) and for ETSY, that I've ignored my blog. I promise to do better....look what I've been missing! Fun stuff out there!

Love, Kay

FIRST FRIDAY!

Milagro Studios is having a very special event this First Friday.....tomorrow!  We'll be unveiling the studio's fresh, new look. We've been cleaning, painting, redecorating......even planting a little organic herb garden in our little Spanish-style courtyard. Suzanne is using those herbs to make her wonderful syrups that are fast becoming Milagro Studios' signature "grown-up snowcones".  I can't wait to try the pineapple/cilantro/tequila snowcone! (Milagro brand tequila, of course!)

We've been busy creating several new pieces for this event. Along with a few other new works,  I did a "Frida" painted mosaic that I think turned out pretty cool.......and I'm also putting my painted mosaics on boxes, now. As soon as I get a decent photo of them, I'll post it here.

Today is Suzanne's birthday. I wish I could drag her away from her art long enough to squeeze in a little celebrating, but she's on a roll.......creating some of the most beautiful ceramic pieces I've ever seen! (Be sure to check them out if you're able to make it on Friday!) Well, I guess we'll both have more time next week for birthday festivities.....

 Check it out!  Suzanne designed our postcard-size business cards for Milagro Studios!  She did an awesome job!  Thanks, Suzanne!

SPRING

After a short absence, I'm finally getting back on track. My wonderful husband, Paul, had a brain hemmorhage two days after Christmas. He was in the hospital for two very scary months. Paul is home now and recovering beautifully!

I've started painting again.....picking up where I left off and also, helping Suzanne Vitti and Eric Benjamin in making some awesome changes to the studio! Vitti Studios has now officially changed its name to........wait for it................
