💗💗💗

✨ Guatemala Worry Dolls Workshop ✨
Held in conjunction with our Chicano Art Exhibition

📅 This Saturday, April 25 | 2–3 PM
💲 FREE | Ages 10+
👥 Limited space available

Join us for a meaningful, hands-on workshop inspired by the beautiful tradition of Guatemalan worry dolls. 💛

In Guatemala, children share their worries with tiny handmade dolls before bedtime—trusting them to hold those worries through the night and bring peace by morning.

During this heart-centered experience, you’ll:
✨ Learn about the cultural tradition of worry dolls
✨ Reflect on releasing a worry
✨ Create 2–3 small dolls using simple, colorful materials
✨ Practice a gentle “tell your worry” ritual to take home

No art experience needed.

🧵 Come create, connect, and leave with something small but powerful.

Love the pops of color on this one. So bright and juicy.

Pure joy.

It's got both Lapis Lazuli and faceted tiger eye dyed blue and an unpolished tiger eye dyed magenta 😍 it was a find at the gem show a couple weeks ago, the only strand! I'd love to get more of it. 🌺

The chunky stones are Chinese Turquoise, often mistaken for American Turquoise. I LOVE them. They carry some weight and have a rougher texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth and polished stones.

It's been added to the online shop and if you come by the studio this week you can see it hanging! ✨🌈💗

We'll see how this goes. I have no idea what I am doing and I'm just going to be pleased however it turns out. ✨ Trust the process, right?

20 years I ago I was working as a commercial photo assistant. There was no work in winter, so in December I'd pass hors d'oeuvres in stunning homes with amazing art collections in Dallas. Holiday parties hosted by CEO, etc...

One night there was a book club having a seated dinner in the greenhouse behind the home. Fois Gras. The gentleman, whose wife was hosting, said to us beforehand that it was "going to be like the Iraq war. We have no idea what we're doing." Not what I expected from a 1%er in Preston Hollow. I remember thinking their dogs had better health insurance than I did. 🐾

The big concern was getting all 12 plates of hot food served from the garage to the greenhouse without anyone's food getting cold. And only a few people to make this happen. In winter temps.

It went well. At the end of the night as we were wrapping everything up, the man came back out to us and said, "here is some combat pay." It was hilarious. And generous. The tip was more than what I made being there for 4 hours.

I won't get any cash tips from this piece of a tree branch I scavenged months ago, but it's going to look damn good on a table with my work when it's finished. Probably some great conversations, too. 💗🦄🌈

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Got some time in the garden pulling weeds and planting seeds, even a little harvesting. 💗🌱🫛

And the cucumbers are coming up!!! The beans are flowering. Gardens make everything better. Happy Earth Day, indeed.

Did you know chromotherapy has been a thing since ancient times, too? As Earth Day approaches, just another reminder of the many gifts this planet offers for our wellbeing. 🌎

Last time I was here was when I was in town for my birthday in 2019. Only to find out sometime later, we have the same birthday! 😂💗🌈🦄✨

I don't even have words for how happy I am that it is open again.

Yay 💗

I have a new console table arriving Monday to hold the organic cotton fair trade yoga blankets and cork blocks for yoga.

I'll finally seal the piece of the tree I collected last fall or winter to put on top for displaying more work.

I love the way our space is coming together 😍

Last weekend several people mentioned it felt like a hug when they entered the space. I love that so much. 💗

We’re keeping the celebration going—just with a slight shift indoors!

Due to weather, our Low & Slow lowriders are taking a rain check but everything else is still happening with a fun and vibrant Plan B.

✨ Opening Reception (6–9PM) is ON
🎶 Live music by Yolanda Cruz and the Daydreamers will now be indoors.
🌮 Jilberto’s will be serving street tacos outside on our newly improvised Art on Main patio, creating an easy indoor/outdoor flow.
🍷 Sangria and Mexican pastries from Graciela’s Bakery will be served inside.

We’ve created a layout that allows guests to move comfortably between the gallery and patio, so you can still enjoy the full experience.

The spirit of this event—art, culture, music, and community—remains exactly the same.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you tonight.
Come meet the artists and enjoy their incredible art! See you tonight for an unforgettable opening starting at 6pm!

This *NEW* one combines the soft tender loving energy of rose quartz with the serenity of amazonite.

Also sprinkled in are:

serpentine (power of creation)
Indian Agate (promotes inner strength and stability)
Picture Jasper (comfort and release)
Yellow calcite (mental clarity and joy)

Overall it has a peaceful quality ✌🏼
