This past Saturday my daughter and I had a chance to check out an event called Glitterfest. It’s a collection of mixed-media artist creations that include; handmade jewelry, sculptures, collages, paper creations, dioramas, glass globes, diy and repurposed one-of- a- kind art pieces.
I loved seeing how each artist displayed their work – so much originality and talent was used to put together each table, they were mini art exhibits. My favorite discovery was a “Day of the Dead” diorama contained inside a vintage suitcase by Lori Gutierrez. It was absolutely breathtaking! Another favorite was a table that held vintage clock parts, skeleton keys, game pieces, locks, and door face plates, all perfect for creating custom jewelry pieces or layering onto a collage.
We completed our tour, with a visit to the fabulous Tara Wilson of LuluMax, whose repurposed vintage costume jewelry pieces make me swoon.
I came away with my head full of ideas, inspiration, and I may even use a little glitter!
