“We’ve made some good friends from people we’ve met as clients, 

and they’re absolutely amazed by all of the steps involved in our work. 

It’s like watching magic happen; and some of our clients like to come 

and watch or even get involved in the hand-painting to learn more about 

the distressing, burnishing, and enhancing. They call it ‘Fab Therapy.’”

The finished product is undeniably breathtaking, but the process 

of construction itself is astounding, as well. Using dense foam as their 

medium, a computer driven hot wire takes Molly’s drawings to create 

the rough elements of the props, which are then sculpted by hand. 

For large-scale props, the process is done in sections, each of those 

small elements created separately and later connected with aluminum 

channeling to build the full spectrum of what is essentially a fantasy 

brought to very vivid, very glittery life. “This business has taken a total 

time commitment with some very long days and late nights—and lots of 

glitter in my hair,” Molly says with a laugh. 

It’s not all sparkles, of course; the business has taken endless amounts 

of hard work and dedication from Molly and Joe as they’ve been 

building their team of crafty helpers to aid in construction, set-up, and 

removal of their pieces and adding to their inventory of items to use in 

future projects. But the creatively-minded couple has been making it 

work, successfully becoming one of the best event companies in the area, 

their passion sparking far greater than any amount of glitter ever could.
