Bay Willow Design

There's a new store in downtown McKinney practicing the art of handmade hats! Bay Willow Design makes beautiful headwear. The owner, Jenny Mathison-Foster gave me a behind-the-scenes peek at her collection of nearly 200 hat forms — most dating from the 1930's. You too can see her workshop firsthand this Saturday and Sunday as part of MAST (McKinney Art Studio Tour). Artists all over town will be opening their studios to the public. Check out their website here for times and a map of locations.

This hat will be part of a Silent Auction this weekend during the tour!

Artist profile | Colourful Blossom

Today I want to share Colourful Blossom by Nuby with you. Nubia Garcia is the talented artist behind this line of hand sculpted polymer clay jewelry. I'm always astounded by how much detail she can create in miniature. Here's a peak at just a few of her creations and you can see more in her Etsy shop or follow her on Facebook. We ordered some of the elephant wine glass charms as a Christmas present and now I want some for our bar too! She also does custom work if you have something unique in mind.
