Silhouettes for Mother's Day at Framebridge!

 On Saturday morning bright and early, I headed to a Framebridge store, the only one in Pennsylvania, to be part of their Mother's Day promotional event. Buy a frame, get a free silhouette to put it in---because all moms love their children's profiles! It went wonderfully, the manager told me their numbers as a result of my being there were extremely positive, PLUS the staff and customers were all SO NICE! What a great way to spend an afternoon. 

 I was so busy that I only took few photos. Speaking of photos, many of the silhouettes I cut were from photos on people's phones...babies, dogs and even a few cats! At a party, normally I wouldn't do them from photos, as it's more about entertaining the guests who are present with a party favor, but at this type of event it is perfectly fine and even encouraged (especially for pets). 

This little one also had her mommy and daddy done!

Thank you for having me, Framebridge!

(The silhouette on the flyer was done by Baltimore artist Silhouettes by Hand. who was doing the same event in DC. The Taylor, Travis and baby are by me ;-)

Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 Celebration---Silhouettes!

 On Sunday, I headed to a really cool whiskey bar in Philly to cut silhouettes for a Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 (go ahead, I had to look it up, too!) celebration/promotional event. 

My client, a Jack Daniels brand ambassador, found me via The Bash, and it was a perfect opportunity to practice an old-fashioned art form AND wear my Edwardian dress and hat!

Here's a better view of my hat!

Happy, surprised and numerous guests sat for me!

There were some other fun vendors there too:

a snazzy jazz band, fab photographer and a very skilled event artist,

who painted on a whiskey barrel top for a raffle at the end of the night!

This is my view of the venue, from my spot on the 2nd floor of the parking garage across the street. Wish all my city parking situations were this easy!

Thanks for having me!
