Elizabeth Messina... thought it couldn't get any better...

... and it did.
Elizabeth Messina has the most beautiful photos. Yes, they are all over this blog. She recently paired up with Leah Macdonald of Waxworks and created this beautiful piece of art:

oooh... and I'm tickled that the photo includes a Twigs & Honey piece!
If you are interested in Elizabeth's encaustic work, email her (info@elizabethmessina.com). If you're lucky enough to attend the Lovely Workshop in France this May, Leah will be attending and showing all the attendees how to make their own piece of wax. Exciting! Read more HERE.

Four corners of the Twigs & Honey studio

It's a modest little space...
I guess I never really blogged my studio in its entirety, huh? It's about time. :) I am constantly reorganizing, rearranging, and de-cluttering it. It's a perpetual work in progress. Since it isn't huge, I really have to maximize the space. See more in my Flickr folder.

New pieces in the Etsy shop

I have a few new pieces for the Etsy shop... a bit of a random mix, but each is very unique and oh-so-much fun!

Double lux

I found the yummiest, softest, prettiest silk fabric over the weekend and had to fashion it into something. Fruit Punch

This one is fun... you can braid or weave the metallic threads into your hair for a subtle and romantic accent.

Golden Threads

Veils, veils, veils

I just added several veils to my Etsy shop that are ready to ship, so no waiting if you're in need of a veil asap. Enjoy!

Birdcage veil

Illusion tulle blusher veil

And my favorite... a convertible blusher/headband tulle veil

Love that beaded cashmere shrug? It's by Elizabeth Dye... a b-day gift from the hubby last year.

Cutest little girl

Elizabeth Messina has a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l family. I always love seeing her gorgeous girls photographed in the most beautiful way that only Elizabeth could do. Earlier this month, it was her precious Jasmine's birthday (happy be-lated birthday!). I love these photos of her in all her cuteness:

And yes... she's wearing a twigs & honey hat in the middle picture... and yes, that is her on my website homepage. I can't get enough of her and you can see more on kiss the groom blog.
I talk with the hubby sometimes about how we wonder what our kids will look like in the future. Matt hopes that they get my skin (tans, doesn't burn) and my dark, thick hair... I hope they get Matt's big green/blue eyes and height. We're both hoping they get Matt's fast twitch muscles (he was a hurdler) and my endurance (I ran distance) so that we could have the most awesome 800m track star. Aw... we shall see. ;)

I just received some stunning photos from Christie, who wore a Twigs & Honey birdcage veil and handmade silk flower for her wedding recently. I am in awe of her wedding dress. It is gorgeous!

What a beautiful bride, yes??? Thank you, Christie and congrats to the two of you!!!
