how to make rad paper flowers

it's a good idea to be creative in any form. just to have fun no matter what. i got up this morning and made an enormous paper flower the size of my face from an old sewing pattern that i was DEFINITELY never going to use. instead, it's been re-used and has make a striking decoration on my friend's wedding gift! 

it was super-easy! here's the tutorial: learn to make paper flowers with emma from feeling fuzzy?

apple & instagram - we love you!

we love our new iphones & instagram photo app! it frames our work in a whole new light & love the aged-photo effects that enhance our look completely. we've been dragging our feet a little about new technology, but now we're very okay with it. we can use our beautifully-designed apple devices to swipe credit cards & take amazing photos with the new instagram camera. what more do you want?

green long beach festival - 6/9/12

an exciting day of local art, music, education & activities

we're really excited to participate in the festival, as working with this group of fellow "greenies" has been amazing. we have a great lineup of live bands, live painting, local art & handmade goods, a fashion show, educational workshops, and (of course) yummy food trucks.

succulessence will have a booth there with lots of fresh, upcycled succulent gardens to choose from. all vessels have been collected in the los angeles area over the past few months & all succulents are grown locally from a small, independent grower.

we invite you to show your support of our local community at this free event & enjoy a beautiful saturday down by the long beach marina.
