Halloween in the Village

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I 'm one day late on posting this, but since we're still with in the week of Halloween, I'm just gonna go with it.

This fall I had a great time putting together a Halloween window display for the Rodney Mitchell Salon in Hillsboro Village.

Snakes, spiders, skulls- all with a bit of sparkle!

My favorite pieces were the spiders- particularly the queen momma covered in iridescent rhinestones and purple glitter. Isn't she GREAT?!

And here's a Google Plus album if you want to see more!

It's Time

My new window for Rodney Mitchell




It's time for spring, for sun, for flowers, for afternoons outside. I won't bitch about winter, as they go this one's been good. However, I LOVE the energy that's building in anticipation of the new season. New daylight hours, new plant life, new colors; it's the best. Well, summer is the the ultimate best, but until then...I like the look of spring.

Wintery Rodney Mitchell Wonderland

My latest frenzied project is complete: the Christmas window for Rodney Mitchell Salon in Hillsboro Village.

Bigger Pictures and Discovering Music City

I thought I wouldn't get around to posting these till tomorrow, but I just can't wait! This morning I installed the fall window display at Rodney Mitchell's Salon in Hillsboro Village. The inspiration was vaguely "back to school"; the focus of my interpretation is the travel. Stacks and stacks of old books can be a world of information and comfort, so I've included them amongst the suitcases of our Nashville bound student- let's call her Autumn. Traveling to a new city is one of my favorite learning experiences. Autumn is a traveler, too. She looked around the globe for the next destination, and decided to check out Music City. Maybe she'll like it, maybe she'll love what she discovers and will stay awhile, but Autumn still has worlds yet to be explored!

This Is What's Next

It's the new window display at Rodney Mitchell's in Hillsboro Village. This one came together like a fun little puzzle. The portrait was already done (not by me), and suggested for use in this new set up. After a bit of pondering, I decided to paint baby pieces to make a substantial canvas family. In the spirit of Earth Day I incorporated my recycling -as well as some from my thoughtful friends- to make a tin can army on the window ledge. These tin cans are similar to an artist's jar of brushes, and since in this case the artists are hair stylists,instead of paintbrushes they are full of combs! It came together with a bright pop- arty feel to it- perfect for the sunny days we're about to have!

Window for Rodney Mitchell Salon in Hillsboro Village

Last week I installed a window display for Rodney Mitchell's Salon in Hillsboro Village. I'd been working on the pieces for it in the studio, and seeing it all come together the way I'd envisioned was very rewarding. The salon stylists loved it, too, which made me smile even more. It's such an awesome feeling to be excited about what you're creating in private and then see other people share that excitement when you display it publicly. If you're in the Village, look for it in the window directly across from Bosco's.
