And because they have given all of themselves, they live without regret." ~Erwin Raphael McManus, The Artisan Soul - And I love it, the idea of living without reservation and leaving nothing on the table. That's how I have tried to live, and it's true that you will find yourself naked and alone, because the easy course is to play life safe yourself and be critical of those of us who leave nothing on the table. That's most people - the do-nothing critics. They don't have the guts or the skills to do something! F them!

I COULDNT FIND ANY ARTIST HERE MORE LIKE A TEMU RESELL SHOP…read more Was plotting on getting a matching henna tattoo me and girl but to my demise when we decided to go with a moon for her and a simple tribal sun tattoo for me. Well what I thought was a simple sun tattoo atleast. I was pleasantly surprised by how SHITTY my sun came out and to make matters worse she decided to place the henna right on the creases of my wrist so i accidentally fucked up the already shitty tattoo. I walked off but later after further messing up the POS I went back to get it fixed which was not a good idea as the young lady seemed to have completely forget what the stencil was supposed to look like.

I would give Redbird Art Experience ten stars if I could. My mom and I were vacationing in the area…read moreand found this online when searching for some art classes. Redbird Art Experience is nestled within a really cool and well organized antique shop with many interesting booths. I made a reservation with Robin from Redbird via text and she was very accommodating and kind. When we arrived for our reservation, Robin explained the process to us and encouraged us to let our creativity go wild. There were many substrates to pick from including rectangular pieces of wood, frames, wood cut into shapes like mermaids, stars, hearts, and more. Once we picked our "canvases" we explored the hundreds of materials Robin has in jars, buckets, and bowls around the studio. The materials were incredible. They ranged from glass, to seashells, beads, broken jewelry bits, glass doll body parts, scrabble letters, collage paper materials, and so much more. It was so exciting and fun to dig through jars of different materials, looking for the most peculiar and interesting piece to include in my artwork. I was especially intrigued by the glass doll body parts and Robin was so encouraging and excited for me to use some! Any additional materials needed like glue, scissors, or paint were also provided by Robin. We arrived for our reservation at 12 pm and left at 4 pm and let me tell you, time flew. I had such a blast creating my artwork using materials that I've never worked with before. During our time there, Robin played some great music and offered us water and snacks which was lovely because we were there for so many hours! If you are a creative person, I strongly encourage checking out Redbird. It is totally child friendly as well. I am so bummed that I live all the way in NYC and can't come do this at least once a month. Robin is awesome, the space is fantastic and so inspiring to be in, and the prices are unbeatable. It was $25 for the picture frame I chose to make art with, and all the materials are included in the price. There's literally no better way to spend a day than at Redbird!

TL;DR: Terrible customer service!…read more First one star review, here we go! I have been a long time customer of the Zoo Gallery, I have lived in the area for 19 years, almost as long as the gallery has been around. Over the years I have bought a multitude of great and unique hats, bags, trinkets, etc. They have interesting things, but after my last experience with the zoo gallery, I will never shop there again. This Christmas I chose the Zoo Gallery as my first stop for gift shopping, and purchased a very personal item for a family member, sunglasses. Because of sunglasses very personal nature, it was a very high probability that the family member would not like the sunglasses, and since they were $160, I wanted to ensure I could return them. I asked the clerk on duty if I could, to which she replied yes, I purchased them, and was on my way. After Christmas, my family member did not like the look of the sunglasses, after trying them on for only a few minutes. They were immediately replaced in their packaging as they came, and we returned to the store, with the receipt. Here I was told by the OWNER of the Zoo Gallery that I could NOT return these sunglasses, despite the fact that they were ready to be put on the shelf and sold again. Why? Because a sign on the counter said so. I don't know about you, but I don't make it a point to read signs when I go shopping, I converse with people, and I was told I could return them. I was shocked when I was told that despite this, the employees word would not be honored, and even more shocked when I was told that, while I could get store credit, IT EXPIRED IN A YEAR. EXCUSE ME? I have spent hundreds of dollars in this store over the years, but my purchases can be years between each other sometimes. This entire customer service experience left me feeling dirty for shopping from such a disrespectful, and rude shop. Not the kind of customer service I expect in this century! I will never shop here again.

He ordered a replacement part and the frame was completed the next day. I am very happy with the frame and how the picture looks in my condo.
