2018 has been an odd year for me-much fewer events and less time waling away on the anvil.
I’m trying to make up for lost time this fall and holiday season.
I just got back from Hutchfest in Omaha, NE. Wow! They can really turn out the crowds even in the rain. Very nice, well run event.
Here’s what’s coming up:
Malihini Tiki Festival (Overland Park KS) Oct 20
Recycle Santa Fe Art Festival (Santa Fe NM) Nov 30, Dec 1&2
I’ve applied to a few more and waiting to hear back.
I’ve made several versions of this necklace. The “U” is from a broken umbrella. I need to make more of these-usually popular at art/craft/maker events.
FINALLY updated my booth shot. It took all day in the blazing heat but it’s done. Many of these events require a booth shot, so it’s necessary to have a photo of the current set up. I did not include my entire inventory so as not to clutter up the image. Besides making the jewelry, I’ve created some of the displays.
Additional benefits in this exercise of aggravation include:
1) endlessly rearranging the composition without a deadline.
2) figuring out how to install tent walls correctly
3) take photos with camera not the phone
4) the water weight retention from last night’s dinner won’t be a problem after 6hours setting up!
I do enjoy hitting the road and meandering through out of the way spots. Vintage signage and architecture are a favorite. I’m experimenting with “googie” shapes.
Wow! What a great weekend. I’m working on filling out my bracelet inventory-made good progress.
Parts for bracelets, earrings
This is my usual outfit for creating
