So I did a thing…. As a member of  The Best of Missouri Hands you have an opportunity to submit your work for a Juried Membership. If you remember, I submitted my work last year and didn’t get accepted. With a few modifications from their feedback, I re-submitted the new pieces shown below!

This Jury Membership closes today and everyone that submitted work into it will know if we/they made it at the end of this month! I’m super excited yet nervous on the outcome however, you don’t know until you submit!

Because I don’t make the dishes that I sell my succulent/catcus gardens in, a suggestion was made to do something different for a display. I felt that sand was the appropriate display because if you see succulents/cactus in the desert you would typically see them in a sand-like setting! Plus I think the sand makes the pieces really pop nicely!

Huge thank you to Schaefer Photography for helping with crisp/clean photos to submit. I was hands on with this process but it was nice to have a little help from a professional behind the lens!

I am always one that pushes myself to be better and do better. If I receive this Jury Membership, it won’t stop here! If I don’t receive the Jury Membership, well sugars, it won’t stop there either! I have some amazing customers and friends who continue to cheer me on and each passing year I will continue to learn, develop and adapt in my craft! I just want to make works of art that you love enough to take home or give as a gift… Thank you for all the love and support!
