2011 American Music Awards Gift Lounge and Swag Bags

So I am super excited about the American Music Awards airing live tomorrow. I got a wonderful opportunity ti provide items to be given out in the swag bags for this big event, and I would love to see some celebrities take photos with my items.

Many of you may be wondering how I got the chance to be part of the American Music Awards; it started when I got invited to join this group on facebook called the indiExhibit. This group was a little over my head at first, but everyone was so nice and helpful I caught on pretty quick. The group of artisans comes together to provide swag bags for big celebrity events, and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.

So what will we find in these celebrity swag bags for the American Music Awards you may ask? Here is a sample of some of the items I contributed and links to where you can find them; just click on the pictures or you can check out my entire shop on etsy or artfire.

Floating Illusion Necklaces

They are made using soft bridal tulle which appears invisible on the skin; and the rhinestones are backed with felt or velour to improve comfort. The whole sparkly necklace is tied in the back with  soft ribbon which also makes it perfect for those with metal allergies.



Original Word Art Paintings
These paintings were done on 5x7 canvas board which makes them great for gift giving. They provide inspirational words and ideas to make people smile and feel love.



Inspirational Photo Prints

I sent 4x6 photo prints to the American Music Award gift lounge, but I offer them in 8x10. I can make them any size really. These photo prints are meant to inspire.



Glitter Crowns, Bows, and Stars Hair Accessories

These sparkly items are made using glitter foam, felt, and rhinestones. They are attached to a variety of hair accessories and are customizable. I thought Lady Gaga and several other American Music Awards celebrity guests would be interested in these items.

I look forward to watching the American Music Awards and I can not wait to see the pics from the event. I will post any awesome pics including a picture of my display piece. My display piece for the American Music Awards gift lounge was a huge sparkly illusion necklace in dark rose, pink, teal, purple, and olive green. It was so gorgeous and looked great on the white velvet display I wish I had another one. I was so busy trying to get everything packed and my friends with the indiexhibit that I did not have time to take good photos of it.

Artfire, Bacon Purse, and Fun with Auto Correct

So I am super excited about updating my artfire. I have been working on it for awhile. i took a bunch of pictures and did some inventory. I found a bacon purse it is pretty awesome. A simple change purse made from felt. If you are interested with learning how to make a miniature felt change purse check out this article!

Also used auto correct on a bunch of photos and it looked awesome Who new auto correct could give you such beautiful and almost surrreal results. Check out these crocheted beaded necklaces. They are super long and pretty to mix and match.
