20th Edition - Feiras Francas

Last 17th of December I participated in the 20th edition of Feiras Francas, a fantastic event held in Palacio das Artes in Porto. It was the best Art & Craft Event that I have been a part of in Porto. Really good artists, an amazing venue with a lovely atmosphere. We even had live jazz and lots and lots of people coming in! I was featured in their newspaper, which made me really proud! Thank you for the invitation!

Dark Horse Happy Customers

One of my favorite customers is

a very lovely lady called Netta Dixon ;)
In one of my markets at the Old Christ Church in Waterloo

she bought two pair of origami earrings.

One for her daughter and the other for her granddaughter.

This weekend she sent me this beautiful picture

of her daughter Nancy and little Grace wearing the origami earrings.

Thank you Netta, hope to see you soon,

All the best for you and your family ;)

The Gathering-The Big, Big L8 Lunch 2009

Last Sunday, 19th July there was on the Princes Boulevard

the best market that I have been on.

Organized by Arts in Regeneration, it was a great day to be spent outside.

A lot of people came to see the many stalls and also

to sit down with their neighbours and have a Big Big lunch ;)

Some of my new creations were on display that day

and were appreciated by all those who came for a closer look!

Magical place - Old Christ Church in Waterloo

On the 2nd of May I participated in another market

at the Old Christ Church in Waterloo.

With new items to be sold like rings, brooches

and earrings with lotus flower.

Everyone enjoy my creations and lot of people were amazed

when I said it is all made out of paper ;)

In the first picture you can see me and my stall

and in the bottom one you can see a well pleased customer

wearing a pair of origami crane earrings

and a necklace with button knots.

This fantastic lady was my model of the day, thank you!

A big thanks also for all who gave me words of encoragement

and wished me good luck for my creative future ;)
