Polymer clay pendants available at Green Spring Gardens!
22 07 2023Very special thanks to Lisa at Green Spring Gardens for being the very first wholesale customer for my polymer clay creations! She has a sampling of the finished pieces for sale at the gift shop (at the checkout counter) at the Horticultural Center at Green Spring Gardens now! (The larger photo below shows a sampling of the ones available). She’s selling them for just $26.99 each. Each pendant hangs from a vegan leather or vegan suede cord.
The park is located at 4603 Green Spring Rd. in Alexandria, VA. Green Spring Gardens is open Monday-Saturday, 9:30 am – 4:30 pm, and Sunday from 12-4:30 p.m.
This is my absolute favorite place to photograph flowers in the DC/Virginia area and I’ve had two solo botanical photography exhibits there (2012 and 2016). (It’s less than three miles from my home!) The first show resulted in me getting to work with the USPS and is the reason I now have 11 images published as FOREVER stamps—so this place is near and dear to my heart. There is always a huge variety of plants in bloom and I’m so grateful to the horticulturists and volunteers who are the amazing caretakers for this little paradise.

After we did many shots with more “traditional” outfits, Claudia was game to try something fun and creative in the studio with me, so I found this funky “spiky sequins” fabric I hadn’t had a chance to use before and created a medieval-queen-meets-game-of-thrones-ice-princess look (or something to that effect).
