Showcase Event for ICF and Accessoreez in St Petersburg
February 22nd, 2008 categories: Lifestyle, Miscellany, Things To Do
Showcase of art for your home and glass jewelry
Accessoreez and Image Creations of Florida hosted a designer’s showcase event in St Petersburg. I was fortunate to be invited to this private event, planned to make a quick stop for 15 minutes, and then spent over an hour there. Not only did I have a chance to talk with old friends and meet some new ones … I saw some wonderful wearable art, some for me and some for my home.
Linda and Jack Albrecht, friends and clients, have been serving the Tampa Bay interior design community for more than a dozen years - creating wonderful cast paper art, providing unique faux painting for homes, framing original artwork and prints, Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) artwork pieces, and providing customized pieces for residences and commercial buildings. Linda has partnered with a long-time friend (we don’t have “old” friends), Leslie Belcher, to provide unique art glass jewelry through Accessoreez,
Leslie designs beautiful glass jewelry. My favorites were those that began with sea themes and applied her creativity. I liked the symmetrical aspect of her necklaces. Which designs? Which colors? Hmmm - I guess I’ll have Leslie design a custom piece - or two - or three.
Image Creations of Florida is located at 3025 44th Avenue North in St Petersburg, where Leslie is setting up both a showcase and a workshop. Do call first - the experience is so much better if Linda and Leslie are there to walk you through the whole creative process.
