the art of observation meets
the art of impression What impression will you make?
It all started with a picture: the African woman wore a headdress of trumpeting yellow flowers. A mask of white makeup framed her piercing eyes. I quickly learned that the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA), in downtown Tampa, was presenting a collection of these images called “Natural Fashion: Art & the Body” by photographer Hans Silvester. I made it to the exhibit on the very last day. It was among the most remarkable things I had ever seen. The tribal people Hans Silvester photographed ritually decorate one another—simply for the sake of creating beauty. They have no mirrors. They don’t know what they look like individually. Yet they take the greatest pride and care to celebrate each other using the natural materials native to their land. Surrounded by what to me was beauty beyond compare, I dreamed of paying tribute to this collection of images that had captivated my soul. Somewhere down the road, I bumped into the wildly talented boys behind Spathose, Scott Durfee and George Medeiros. It was then that VERTICAL’s spring fashion shoot, Au Naturel, began to take shape, and eventually bloom. It is VERTICAL’s nature to collaborate with local artists and talent—all in the service of celebrating Tampa Bay. For this freshly plucked issue, we partnered with 11-year old photographer Tristan DeMarzo to bring you Hard to Imagine. And this issue is abuzz about Rasta on The 600 Block. I can’t say enough about the incredibly devoted team on set for Au Naturel, so I will simply say thank you. Together we proved that in the spirit of collaboration, beautiful things happen…Naturally.

HOLLEY’S HOBBY Fit for a Fairy
Story & Photography by Leslie Joy Ickowitz
The fairy-look is sooooo hot this season. Fashioned from delicate materials in a rainbow of shades, spring’s flowing frocks are reason enough to host garden parties.Weaved into the fabric of our lives, fairy-everything has us fascinated lately, from fairy tales portrayed on TV to fairy dresses flitting down runways.
O
nce upon a time, Holley Sinn asked for a sewing machine. Disenchanted with the high price of the high-end fashions she desired, the gift arrived in time for her 27th birthday. To celebrate, three generations—grandmother, mother and daughter—circled the table for a weekend-long crash course in sewing. A passion for creating her own clothes quickly took hold and suddenly a friend came calling with a wedding proposal, sort of. At the friend’s request, Holley rose to the occasion and created three beautiful bridesmaids dresses. As though she gazed into a crystal ball foreseeing present day, three distinctly different designs emerged—each one fit for a fairy. You see “shiny” is Holley’s favorite color. So when the time came to source fabrics for the lovely project, she combined a little shimmer, a little sparkle, dreamy patterns and spectacular colors. The finished trio resembles romance wrapped in pretty packages, a most suitable wedding present. And this is where the fairy garden comes in. Set at The Sweet Sage, Holley’s favorite local breakfast/ lunch cafe, a photo shoot was staged. There, among upside down flowerpots dangling from stately trees and chairs adorned with fairy-wings, the BFFs (who share a sisterhood of the traveling dress) paraded in one by one—equaling one cool, cohesive collection. Later, Holley plucked a variety of pieces from her satchel, like apples from a tree for the street-style chapter of our story. She layered the items effortlessly. A crochet sweater encircled her slender dress, a charming owl hung round her neck and a feathered fedora perched atop her head. Growing up, Holley’s “stylish” mother provided random clothing and accessories for her, rather than put-together outfits. From this experience, she gained a certain fabulous fashion sensibility and achieved the confident creativity that comes with DIY styling. So much style lies in Holley’s existence as a devotee to exploring possibilities, and to living a positive, substantive life. Strip down the layers, the shine and the shoes, and you’re left in the presence of a genuine spirit. Armed with a sincere honesty harvested from her own self-exploration and a perspective so vivid, she just might have the very best answer to the age-old question… Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? Holley says, “We are beautiful because of who we are and how we treat each other. The rest is just window dressing.”
•THE END•
Left to right: Liz Rosenblum, Lisa Alban Nicks & Holley Sinn
Liz’s skirt
An interview with real girl Holley Sinn—co-host and producer of Studio 10 TV, serial creative and kindred spirit. To trend or not to trend, that is the question Ooo…that very much IS the question. I don’t intentionally invest much in trends, but sometimes I find myself drawn to ideas and/or concepts that are trendy by accident. I LOVE jumpers. I adore scarves. But, I will still love and adore them when they are no longer trendy. I am TOTALLY into owls. But, I loved them before you could find them in any and every boutique and department store, and I will love them when everyone has moved on to elephants or whatever is next. When it comes to fashion, I just like what I like, and it seems that there are plenty of folks out there who also like what I like. My trendiness is complete happenstance. Describe your personal style I always think my style is sort of a mix of extremes, like McQueen meets Lilly Pulitzer or sort of like if Tinkerbell was a total badass. I really dig color and sparkles, but I always feel like I have to add an element of mystery or grit. I represent myself through my fashion choices, so I guess I feel like I am doing myself and those with whom I interact a disservice if I don’t admit openly that I have a dark side. I think combat boots go with everything. But, above all else, I MUST be comfortable. If my personal style was a
movie, it would be directed by Quentin Tarantino, and it would be called “Machine Gun Gypsy”. What are your favorite must-have wardrobe items? When I was a little girl, I thought that if all of my stuffed animals weren’t on my bed at one time, the ones left out would get their feelings hurt. That’s how I feel about my clothes and accessories. I guess if I had to narrow it down, I have a pendant of St. Francis that my husband gave me—I love that, and it goes with everything! My Free People batik pants, the proceeds from which support organizations that help abused women in India, and my Feeding Children Everywhere T-shirt. It’s super soft, and it conveys a message. And, truthfully, my black Calvin Klein yoga pants which I also wear as dress pants. Don’t tell anyone. How do you approach a new project? I come at just about everything I begin, whether designing a new clothing item or writing a story very emotionally. But I have learned that I cannot possibly be successful in persevering through a project if I don’t temper that emotion with analysis. When I start designing something, I picture the ideal place where I, or the friend I’m sewing for, would wear it. I am wildly inspired by
locations—some that are real, and some that I have conjured in my mind. I try to bring that same marriage of ideals to whatever I’m making – a combination of real-world functionality and whimsy. And, then I just hope that my fingers and machinery can pull it off. I was terrible at geometry in school, so I usually turn pieces over and over in my hands many times before I make a stitch – I need to visualize the outcome because perfect measurements and patterns seem beyond my brain’s capabilities.
What do you find yourself thinking of as you create? One of the reasons I enjoy design and sewing is that it keeps me from thinking. I find engaging in a creative process affords me an almost meditative experience…I call it “quieting the voices.” I’m a churner and tend to mull things over until they are mush most of the time, but design narrows my focus and keeps me centered on the particulars of my project. I lose track of time, too. It’s sort of a beautiful, immersive retreat from the push and pull of the world.
From where do you draw inspiration? I draw inspiration from locations and experiences, mostly. For instance, I picture myself sitting in my favorite coffee shop and think,“what would I like to be wearing whilst sitting there?” I live by the water, and the landscape of the beach is unbelievably inspiring! I have this goal of one day creating a dress that looks like it is made out of water – a combination of color and shimmer that I haven’t been able to pull off yet. Flowers, gardens and cityscapes are also big inspirations for me. I think I just like to look around and then convert the feelings from my surroundings into clothing. Like, I would like to wear a warm spring day by the water in Downtown St. Pete or a summer afternoon by the water in the Turks & Caicos. For me, fashion is experiential.
What are your goals in terms of fashion design? As of right now, I am perfectly happy creating for the sake of itself, but should I ever choose to pursue design professionally, my goal would be to create something through which I can make a difference. I love the missions of companies like TOMS, where the fashion is secondary to the purpose, but style isn’t sacrificed. I like the idea of putting people to work through fashion; I have a vision of engaging the artisans in Haiti in a collaborative design scheme that brings their culture to life through design and also helps to build up their economy. I’m a little bit of an eccentric idealist, in case that hasn’t come across loudly enough yet.
What has been your greatest triumph at the sewing machine? My greatest triumph at the sewing machine, hands down, has been my dear friend Liz’s bridesmaid dress for our friend Lisa’s wedding. I made all of the bridesmaid dresses, but Liz’s was especially challenging because I had to pull off a complicated bodice overlay with a sheer fabric. Oh, and the fabric came already studded with jewels, so I had to avoid sewing over those or risk breaking my machine needles. (I broke four in the process of sewing that bodice.) The skirt on her dress was also a very flimsy, soft silk combo that did NOT want to cooperate with my gathering method, so I had to improvise. When her dress was done, I took pictures of it and sent them to everyone! It was like I had discovered the Holy Grail! After I finished that dress, I knew I could do anything if I set my mind to it and applied a little patience. And, she looked beautiful in it! (I think she felt pretty beautiful too!)
If you were to create a whole collection, for what season would it be? Spring and Summer, without question. I am a warm weather girl, and my aesthetic reflects my preferred climate. Color, clear skies, abundance, even thunder storms—there is so much to be inspired by during the warmer months, especially here in Florida. Plus, I’m allergic to wool, so…. And what would the theme be? Right now, I am deeply in love with bohemia. I would imagine my collection would be full of brightly colored wide-legged pants; sparkly vests, which I would pair with bathing suit tops in sequins and lace; tiny tanks and fitted screenprinted tees with global messages, nearly kneelength, floaty skirts in ballerina fabrics and wedged sandals. Oh, and fascinators. And combat boots. I think I would call it,“Sparkle Hippie.” That is my worldview, come to life through fashion. Like Cher meets The Mamas and the Papas. Or drag-glam plus organic hemp.

a WILD hair for WILDER hair Q&A with Bill Baker Photography by SusanJeffersPhotography.com
I’m seeing a lot of wild colors being used in the hair. Even though I like the look, I’ve got a 9-5 job that prohibits tattoos, piercings, and “distracting” hair styles. What can I do to give myself a party look at night and still maintain my boring day job? If you were just “born this way” and are now “bored” this way, you do have options. Several actually, depending on how extreme the look and how far you are willing to push it. Let’s begin with clip-ins. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to put in and take out—truly a fashion accessory in the same category as earrings or lipstick. In any color, amount or style, clip-in hair is simple and effective. From subtle to over the top, you can decorate yourself like a birthday cake, and “un-decorate” for work. Available in a rainbow of shades, hair color is a much more desirable way to express yourself than tattoos and piercings. It’s not permanent. Even “permanent” hair color is not really, really permanent. It washes out, grows out, and fades. There is no blood. No one gets hurt. It’s just hair color! So have fun! Make it violet, indigo or green. Any color you want, any style you want! Now, if you’re your own boss, that gives you more options—like Katy Perry blue hair perhaps. Here’s the secret of how it’s done. First the hair is bleached, and I mean bleached, not just lightened. All natural hair color must be removed, or guess what happens? Blue over yellow makes green. Ewwww! All yellow must be stripped out, and you must be ready for conditioning, because all that bleach is not good for the hair. Once the hair color has been removed, any color can be added, but don’t expect it to last long.Without getting too much into the chemistry of hair color it is probably best to just say that the hair molecule is generally too large for those vivid colors to hold very long. The best way to handle that is to shampoo as little as possible.The good part is that the party colors can be reapplied as often as you like, and they actually do very little damage.The damaging part was the bleach, but you will be conditioning at least once a week. Right? Striking hair color. It is worth it. It is attention-getting. If that is your goal, you have my blessing. For most of you, just bleaching it out is extreme enough. Platinum blonde! You have my vote! While attending art school, Bill Baker saw the movie “Shampoo” starring Warren Beatty. It was then that he decided, like Warren, to surround himself with beautiful women. He feels lucky to have accomplished his goal in the beauty industry and hopes some of his observations and opinions prove to be helpful.

Beautiful Chemistry A Cleansing Experience
Story by Justine Benstead ❧ Photography by Leslie Joy Ickowitz
The walls are robin’s egg blue and the room feels fresh. Wood floors shine and vintage sinks serve as planters in the front windows. Sleek wooden shelves are lined with beautifully wrapped soaps, candles, creams and fragrances. A counter along the sidewall displays unassuming brown paper gift-wrap, prettily enhanced by thick, bright blue paper ribbon. Dashes of delightfully subtle scents waft through the space in a way that is the opposite of overwhelming. The storeowner approaches each customer and offers a cup of warm tea; today, it’s Swiss Apple Skin Smart Herbal Tea, and it tastes like an orchard in the late summer. Cleanse Apothecary owner Greg Curtis subscribes to a philosophy of enhancing everyday experiences and turning daily events into “experiences of shared delight.” In the year and a half since the small, cozy store has become a Seminole Heights staple, Cleanse fans have absorbed the benefit of this philosophy. True to form for a store catering to a community crowd, philanthropy is an essential ingredient. Cleanse hosts charity events, donates time and gift baskets to support a variety of causes from The Centre and Francis House to The Humane Society. “You have to support your local community,” Greg says.“The people who live here support local, and it’s an awesome community.”
Although Cleanse Apothecary sees travelers heading to and from nearby downtown Tampa, the client base is also largely local, with many customers coming from walking distance to sample a new perfume or check out a chemical-free cleaning product. “I try to take care of customers with a peaceful, relaxing visit,” Greg says. A lifelong fondness for fragrance fuels Greg’s passionate pursuit of merchandise for the store. “There’s a purpose behind the products,” whether aesthetic or aromatic. Citrus affects emotions, lavender is repairing, rosemary is good for headaches, vanilla is very sensual—and none of them work if you don’t like the particular scent, Greg cautions. So sink into a tub next to a candle or incense burning your flavor of choice, first and foremost. Voted Creative Loafing’s 2011 “Best New Soap Star,” the independently owned and operated shop is a favorite for customers in search of gifts. They find two or three pre-made examples but are encouraged to craft one-of-a-kind baskets. An exquisitely curated selection coupled with a warm, personal touch distinguishes this shop from its more commercial counterparts. And that’s something soothing to sink into.

HARD TO IMAGINE Paul Eppling Brings Twisted Metal to Life
Interview and Photography by Tristan DeMarzo, age 11
I was learning how to use a camera when I saw some sculptures at the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum in the Gateway Center. When I got close to the sculptures, I noticed that they were made of metal. I had never seen anything like them before. I saw giant armadillos, lizards and creatures I could only dream of. When I found out that I would have the opportunity to interview the artist, Paul Eppling, I was very excited! At first I was nervous because I was meeting someone who created such amazing sculptures, but when he spoke to me he was so kind that I forgot about being nervous and really enjoyed interviewing him. Paul told me that it’s hard to pick a favorite piece of art when you like them all. I agree.
Photo by BrandyDeMarzoPhotography.com
Where did you first start making sculptures? At Florida Presbyterian College which is now Eckerd College.
What was your first sculpture? My first sculpture was a rhinoceros made from chrome bumpers of old automobiles.
What was your inspiration? I saw an area where I thought a sculpture should be and I decided that I would make one. I often get inspiration from looking at pieces of metal and I envision how I can bend the metal to make a sculpture.
What did you do with the sculptures you made? I had a senior thesis show where I sold my first sculpture to a friend from college.
When did your first sculpture appear in a gallery or museum, and what was that sculpture? I consider the senior thesis show to be my first gallery showing and the sculpture was of a grasshopper. That sculpture sold, however, I have re-acquired the sculpture and I still have the sculpture in my studio.
Which sculpture is your favorite? The last sculpture I made is always my favorite. It’s a lot like kids, you don’t know which one is going to be the best one until they grow up.
Why did you choose to make sculptures out of scrap metal? I like the shapes that I can form from different metals. I get the metal from places like farm auctions and auto shops.
Where can we find some of your sculptures in the Tampa Bay area? I have sculptures in schools through out St. Petersburg and Tampa, as well as public buildings and also at the Boyd Hill Nature Trail in South St. Petersburg. My most noticeable sculpture is the “Security Lizard” which can be seen from I-275 on the Fleet maintenance building.
Are there any other forms of art that you enjoy? I have been doing some sketching and drawing.
Have you ever seen the movie The Dark Crystal? Your sculptures have a resemblance to some of the creatures from the film. I try not to watch too many movies.
What are you working now? I am cleaning some of the sculptures in my studio and cleaning up the shop.
What kind of sculptures will you be making in the future? I have recently added glass and paint to some of my sculptures, but I always like shaping scrap metal.
Wildly Artistic Wearable Art Made with Love Story by Janan Talafer ❧ Photography by Leslie Joy Ickowitz
It’s tough to imagine that the beautiful purses with their unique sculptural design started out in life as the hard, fibrous protective covering for the flower of a palm tree. The spathe, as the covering is called, has a long and flowing shape. But it takes an artist’s eye to see its beauty and to recognize the potential for transformation. Most homeowners consider spathes as yard waste, a messy nuisance they have to drag to the curb for pick-up. But George Medeiros and Scott Durfee see a blank canvas.They bring the best pieces inside, working their magic to create an art form that is uniquely Floridian. Spathose is the name of their love child, a collaborative art business the two launched in 2009. In their garage design studio in St. Petersburg’s Old Southeast neighborhood, a dozen or more spathes are stacked in the corner waiting for new life as dramatic table sculptures, architectural wall hangings and high-end wearable sculpture—purses, backpacks, necklaces and neckties. For the Egyptian Erotica event this past February at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, George and Scott used spathes, seed pods and other plant materials to create sensual Egyptian-inspired
high fashion, including skirts, headpieces, necklaces and bodices. Their creations represent an amazing juxtaposition of organic alchemy meets industrial edge. The smooth woody surface of the spathe purses is adorned with interesting bolts, hooks and other hardware, making the purses functional, with metal pieces serving as clasps and hinges. Bicycle chains, locks, gears and old leather belts are twisted into purse handles. Every piece is different and everything is created from materials that are repurposed and reimagined. Open up a purse and find a smooth leather interior, fashioned perhaps from a recycled leather skirt sourced at a vintage shop. For their necklaces, tiny ball bearings and washers are driven into seed pods from the Sweet Gum tree to become colorful, handcrafted beads. Originally from New England, George and Scott have been life partners for the past 22 years and cherish collaborating on their art. Both are self-taught, although Scott has been painting,
sculpting, acting and creating art for as long as he can remember. George on the other hand, was an accountant and junior engineer before exploring his artistic side. When they came to Tampa Bay in 2003, they began collecting fallen pieces of spathe they saw littering the landscape.“The shape was so majestic with such a nice texture.We were so intrigued by it,” says Scott.
They turned the spathes into yard art and hanging plant baskets. As board members of their neighborhood association, they donated plant pots to homeowners who opened their homes during a neighborhood tour. “The response was overwhelming,” says George. “People loved them.” Encouraged, the two started exhibiting at venues like the Gulfport Art Walk, Saturday Morning Market and St. Petersburg’s Green Thumb Festival. And they began evolving their designs. Their big break was an invitation from the Sarasota Art Center for a Fashion Show fundraiser. They had to create wearable art from a unique medium. After months of brainstorming, the two designed an outfit from spathe and metal, and a spathe purse as the perfect fashion accessory. The rest is history in the making. Now their art can be found in galleries throughout the Tampa Bay region and upscale boutiques like Duet Laguna in Laguna Beach, California and Dream Weaver Collection at St. Armands Circle in Sarasota.

Nicholson House Has It Story and Photography by Leslie Joy Ickowitz
IS
When it comes to curating the treasures of Tampa Bay, one of the very first that springs to mind is Nicholson House. It was one of my first loves upon moving to Tampa from New York. Finding it felt like a finding a present. Tucked in to Hyde Park Village back in the day, it was a shining symbol of joy. Nicholson House quickly became a favorite haunt of my husband, who with his own fabulous sense of style always found artisan jewelry to buy for special occasions. Together, we would visit in search of gifts and the experience always added to the fun of giving. Fast-forward a long time to its current location at South Tampa’s Carriage Trade Plaza, and Nicholson House remains a destination, packed with personality. Mini Eiffel Tower statues and a fringed Parisian pillow poke out from a cubbyhole. A wood-carved sign symbolizing home rests against the entrance door. Shiny, pretty things gleam from glass jewelry cases. Crazy cool clocks tick tock, and one day an owl one followed me home. Perfect for putting your own stamp on home, a whirl through Nicholson House reveals handpainted wine glasses for sipping and hand-painted stools for sitting, kitschy kitchen accessories, fragrant candles and artful frames, sculptures and vases, whimsical ornaments and wall dÊcor, my favorite wrapping paper, paperweights, pottery and pictures worth a thousand words.

IN THE
GARDEN OF DONITA Beauty Happens
Story by Janan Talafer â?§ Photography by BWLPhotography.com
There I stood in view of the gorgeous expanse. Instantly I knew, we would have to photograph the spring issue fashion shoot in Donita’s garden. ~ Leslie Joy Ickowitz
Not far from the blare of car horns and the hum of speeding traffic at a busy intersection in North Tampa exists a hidden hideaway, a half-acre urban oasis that with its exotic, eclectic mix feels far from suburbia. Welcome to Donita and Joe Craighead’s backyard. At first glance, you see a perfectly manicured sprawling expanse. Mature trees provide shade here and there. A large natural lake borders one end of the property. One can daydream of mint juleps in the gazebo, croquet on the vast lawn and the strains of Gershwin’s Summertime filling the air. But as you move closer into the landscape, you see what you didn’t notice at first—unfolding garden spaces resembling outdoor living rooms. The yard wasn’t like this when they first bought it in 1990, say Donita and Joe. Back then it was a jungle of vines and overgrowth. Not until Joe and his son were shooting a bow and arrow one day did they even discover that Curiosity Creek runs through the back of the property.“This is the headwater back here,” explains Joe. “It ends at the Hillsborough River.” The family cleared out the creek bed, built a footbridge over the water and put in a sea wall to prevent erosion. They laid down a wooden boardwalk and landscaped the area with gingers, Schefflera, pygmy date palms, Italian cypress, Crepe Myrtle trees and palm grass.
Tucked in one corner along the boardwalk they added a sitting area with a table and chairs.Walk the other direction and you’ll spot a wide hammock, perfect for napping and reading. And since there’s nothing quite like the sound of running water to lull you to sleep, Joe built two waterfalls along the banks of the creek. Redoing a yard of this magnitude could have cost a fortune. But much of their landscape was put together using recycled, reclaimed and repurposed materials, says Joe. For example, one of the waterfalls was originally slate from a koi pond that a neighbor didn’t want. The beautiful 20-foot by 20-foot white gazebo that anchors the yard was once in someone else’s yard. “The new homeowner didn’t want it,” says Joe. Joe and friends took the gazebo apart board by board, marked each board and carted it away to be reassembled in its new home. “It was like putting a jigsaw puzzle together,” he says. According to the couple, the yard is a constant work in progress. If a plant, sculpture or whimsical piece of yard art doesn’t work in one spot, they experiment and move it somewhere else. “We get ideas from model homes, luxury resorts and different places we visit,” says Donita. A tall cypress stands guard over the lake, planted there in memory of a friend who died of breast cancer.There’s also a half dozen fruit trees – loquat, kumquats, ruby red grapefruit, and orange trees, as well as bananas and pineapples. A small grove of bamboo serves as a privacy screen. “It’s definitely a full-time hobby taking care of everything, but we relax by working in the yard,” Donita says. Indeed, it’s easy to feel peaceful in a setting like this.

CROPPING UP Markets everywhere Story by Tracy Ann Guida Photography by Leslie Joy Ickowitz Fresh and local are my favorite ingredients for any home-cooked meal. Fortunately, we can find some spectacular markets that serve up locally grown produce, scrumptious treats, gourmet items, local art and entertainment. With more Floridians supporting local, farmers’ markets are fast becoming Meccas of homegrown goodness. There are many benefits to shopping at markets aside from the joy of finding hidden, local treasures. Produce is picked when perfectly ripened, thus enhancing flavor, color and aroma. Supporting local farmers and small businesses strengthens the community and exposes us to new products. You can also learn new and innovative ways to prepare fresh produce, as vendors are eager to share recipes. Strolling through a local market is a great way to enjoy a fine day while treating your senses to the abundant sights, sounds and flavors. There are several markets located throughout our area; here are some of our year-round picks:
SATURDAY MORNING MARKET ST. PETERSBURG – Gourmet pasta, artisan chocolates, savory empanadas, prepared foods and organic produce are just a few highlights you will find at this glorious market. Located in the Al Lang Field parking lot in downtown St. Petersburg on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm, this market is a food lover’s paradise. Many Tampa Bay favorites are there each Saturday sharing their artistic creations and delicious treasures. Since opening in November of 2002, this market has become a Saturday tradition in St. Petersburg. Market vendors are not only passionate about their products, they are passionate about their customers, and often greet them by name. Local chocolatier, Victoria Boyko Fulwood of Viktoria Richards Chocolates is enjoying her second year as a vendor. Asked why she thinks the market has become so popular, Victoria shares, “The market offers a diverse selection of produce, ethnic foods, fresh baked goods, and original, one of a kind items, handcrafted by local Artisan vendors. The unique layout, with its food court area and seating area for the weekly music offering, gives the customer a shopping, as well as entertainment experience. That, with its beautiful setting near many of St. Pete’s attractions makes this a wonderful day for locals and their dogs, as well as the many tourists that shop the Market each week. It is what we love about being a part of it...the interaction with not only local market customers, but visitors from around the globe.” Within walking distance of the market is an abundance of restaurants and shops. Keep up the momentum with a Central Avenue stroll or along Beach Drive and the waterfront. SaturdayMorningMarket.com

True to form for Ybor, you’ll find hand-rolled cigars. And form meets fashion where the handcrafted cigar handbags are. Surrounded by historical buildings, trees and cobblestone streets, Ybor City Saturday Market is reminiscent of Tampa’s earlier days—a time when food and produce were purchased fresh daily and meals were prepared from scratch.

ONE LOVE Customized
Story & Photography by Leslie Joy Ickowitz
The black leather bag with cool brass buckles was old and worn. It had survived New York City. It had traveled. And it migrated to Florida. It was my very first Chanukah present from mi amor 18 years before. In my faith, the number 18 signifies life. So it was only fitting that for its 18th birthday, new life was breathed into the accessory by a dreadlocked Rasta on The 600 Block.
W
ith my fashion philosophy rooted in expressing individuality, I was ecstatic to discover 1 of 1 Customs. The 600 Block of Central Avenue in downtown St. Petersburg, with its artistic vibe and fashion slant, houses the shop where Rasta Geary Taylor and Jesse Kiebzak do their thing. Their thing is painting. They do it on apparel. Purses. Shoes. And they are wizards at it. With zero hesitation, I handed over my bag. Rasta massaged the leather in his hands while I explained my vision: “Leslie Joy Original” scrolled down one seam with the tree planted against a solid white panel. The other side would stay black, emblazoned with VERTICAL’s hot pink V. As I turned my back to leave the shop he shouted, “one love sista,” and I just knew ‘everything was gonna be all right.’ Since then, it’s become clear that “One Love” is much more than a catch phrase for Rasta. It’s his philosophy. “One Love is a way of life,” he says.“It’s universal love, representing togetherness and unity for everyone regardless of race, creed, or social status. For me, it is a very serious subject and message that I want to send to young people and adults of all colors. When I say ‘One Love’ to someone, my main goal is to send a positive vibration because I know words have power. We can end racism and motivate each other by believing in one positive common goal. The message is simple: One God, One Aim, One Destiny = One Love.” “I first heard the term One Love while studying the Rastafarian way of life 20 years ago.What I learned and enjoyed the most about the culture and music was it always stayed on the path of positivity. I think in the everyday struggles and strife we all need some positivity everyday—something to make us smile and bring hope of a better tomorrow.” No matter what the canvas, it seems Rasta pours a piece of himself into everything he touches. “I feel the best way to spread the message of One Love is through my artwork,” he says. I like that our customers and supporters come from all different paths of life and from around the globe. I treat each customer the same and try to give them equal time and attention. And when it comes to my art, I believe I express One Love with my attention to detail on every piece I do. My main goal is to impress and motivate. Our motto at 1 of 1 Customs is ‘None Before it, None to Come.’ That means the piece of art is only for you.” On the path leading to Rasta, the tired leather bag had hung out listlessly like a girl dressed up with no place to go. Redeemed, the new 1 of 1 Custom swings exuberantly from my shoulder, screaming like a rock star—Leslie Joy Original style. I brought one love (in this case my bag, which carries sentimental value) to Rasta and he gave it back to me tenfold. 1of1customs.com

MOLDING ARTISTS The Story of Creative Clay
Story by Alexis Quinn Chamberlain ❧ Artwork by Creative Clay Artists Nestled among the unique shops, art galleries and eclectic restaurants of downtown St. Petersburg’s The Edge District—a thriving spot for the area’s artist community—sits Creative Clay. Although it appears almost identical to other galleries and retail shops on Central Avenue, what lies behind its glass doors is extraordinary. The Creative Clay Cultural Arts Center comprises a gallery, studio space and retail shop with art created by local residents with disabilities. The rainbow-colored space radiates creativity and positive energy. “We have a very happy palette,” says Executive Director Kim Dohrman. Although these local artists may have disabilities, the focus is placed on the individual’s genuine creative ability. Creative Clay’s mission is to make art accessible to every member of the Tampa Bay community, regardless of age, gender, ability and race. Through a wide range of innovative programs, the center celebrates St. Petersburg and the arts,
providing these diverse members of the community with the opportunity to gain an expressive, educational and vocational arts experience all at once. “Thirty years ago, if you had a disability, you were marginalized and ultimately institutionalized,” Kim explains. “Our founder wanted to do something to give people with disabilities a sense of purpose through art. It not only heals, but it’s also a great way to earn some money.” From its origins with a single client in 1995, Creative Clay now serves about 25 people per day, offering seven different programs to residents of all ages. Although most of the art produced appears to be vibrant, charismatic paintings of animals, faces and landscapes—swirly, playful and cartoon-like—the sky is the limit as to what these artists can imagine and achieve. Rather than focusing on meaningless arts and crafts projects, the volunteer-based center assists the students in the development of legitimate skills.The goal is for them to gain enough independence to

show, market and ultimately sell their own oneof-a-kind creations. Although delving inside the mind and producing art is a life changing, uplifting experience in and of itself, selling an original piece gives these individuals a feeling like no other: Just imagine, a person with disabilities, going from an institution or group home to living the life of a working artist. Fifty percent of anything sold through Creative Clay is paid to the creator, while a licensing fee is distributed for any design put onto merchandise for the retail shop, which helps continue the Creative Clay cause. “To have one of our students meet people interested in their work and get to say, ‘Hi, I’m an artist’ and be able to share their vision—to go from having virtually no identity to having the identity of an artist—that’s a powerful thing.” CreativeClay.org
Editor’s Note:We asked Creative Clay artists to depict what “VERTICAL” means to them. In order to accommodate varying degrees of cognitive understanding, we also substituted the words “uplifted” and “happy” to help them explore the concept. Artwork by Yalanda S.
