My name is Apryl Mott, born in Weirton, WV and now living just outside New Orleans, LA!

I was trained in the art of tree sculpture by my grandmother and wire wrapped jewelry by my grandfather. Both had spent years on the road traveling to craft shows all over the US. I no longer make much jewelry because of how much success I have had with my wire trees! I do dabble now and then trying to find a line that will do well alongside my sculptures.

I started my business officially in 2004 and have come a long way since then. At first it was home parties followed by a little consignment and a few craft shows. I was fortunate enough to live near the West Point military base in NY and was able to set up there to sell my work. We moved to the New Orleans area in 2006 and since then my web business has taken off. I now sell entirely online thanks to etsy and my personal website!

Though my shop and website are mostly dedicated to custom made to order work I do create some one of a kind peices in my spare time. I love creating custom work for weddings and other special occasions. Its so neat to think that someone chose one of my trees to put on top of their cake on one of the most important days of their lives!

Feel Like a Princess at Any Age!

 by Apryl Mott on 11/07/11

I recently purchased a tulle skirt from dazygirl707 on etsy.com for my outfit for the New Orleans Witches Ball 2011. I went with a kind of victorian gothic look and bought most of my pieces from shops on etsy. As soon as I put it on I felt like a princess!

I had shopped around quite a bit before making my purchase. There are not alot of sellers out there that make the tulle skirts for adults. I found some others with a much higher price tag but since this was for a once a year halloween event I did not want to shell out the big bucks. Dazeygirl's skirt is hand tied and unlined with an amazing price tag. I just put on a short black skirt underneath to prevent any strange backlighted moments but the tulle is very thick and not very see through.

She also offers flower girl dresses and adorable outfits that would be great for baby photos!

I hope those of you planning a wedding, going to a formal event, or wanting to dress up baby will check out her shop! You can also just run around the house in your skirt singing "I'm a princess, I'm a princess"...but that would just be silly...right?

Apryl
