The Dancin Daisy
Meet the Maker
Hey Y’all! Welcome to The Dancin Daisy! We are Lisa and MeLissa, a mother/daughter team, that believe the art of being a creator is in the details. We don’t stay within our comfort zone and try to create something extraordinary for you to enjoy. We feel that creation has NO LIMIT!
We live in South Louisiana and love the beautiful lakes, rivers and swamps that surround us. We love being on the water together with a fishing pole in our hands! We also enjoy “hunting” for items we can use to create our designs.
When The Dancin Daisy started in 2019 as a hobby, we never thought our love of crafting and creating would turn into a small business. Lisa was a paramedic/firefighter and MeLissa was an executive assistant, who each have a passion for “helping others”. Now that we have both retired, we are creating for YOU full-time. We are so fortunate to be able to work together side-by-side designing and creating items to make you HAPPY!
Our creations cover a wide range of items. We started our small business making accessories that can be used for diamond painting and cross-stitch. While we still offer those, we have now added a variety of products that will keep your home looking beautiful. Our wreaths, table décor and creations made with oyster shells and alligator garfish scales are sure to enhance your home. Don’t see what you want? Let us know and we will design something just for you.
All of this would not be possible without the help of our husbands, family, friends, and our wonderful customers who support us with every order! Thank you for helping us to make YOUR creation come to life.
What an honor it is to be affiliated with goimagine.com. There is nothing more rewarding to us than helping a child in need! So, Thank You. Thank you all for shopping small businesses and THANK YOU for being a part of the #caringeconomy and shopping on goimagine.
We appreciate you for visiting The Dancin Daisy. We look forward to working with you and creating something that puts a smile on your face!
How it’s Made
Fish are boiled for 3 days, from daylight until dark, to remove scales.
Scales are scrubbed, cleaned, and rinsed numerous times, drying thoroughly between each cleaning and then sterilized once cleaning is complete.
I will then place scales into dying agent until they are the desired color.
To make the item, scales are formed into desired item and glued to a stabilizer such as wood, metal, shell, etc.
All complete items will be sealed with a protective sealer.
