It's an exciting time

Today I'm participating in a craft fair. I've been working hard to have some of my stuff ready. It's a second job! I love it, though!! I haven't done a craft fair in a really really long time. The last one was so awful. It was downtown in a concrete courtyard on a very sunny & hot day. The crowd was in a buying mood whatsoever. This time it's different, I don't care if nothing sells, I won't base my talent on lack of sales....I'm gonna have fun, period.

Here's some of the stuff I put together....Tell me what you think???

These are post-it note pads using my original artwork.

Jewelry pieces. I decided not to make the necklaces but only the pendants pieces to show the work and then customize them to the person buying the pendant.




Matted prints of my artwork. I scanned then printed the artwork. I embellished them to individualize them...no two alike.



I lifted this idea from a Somerset magazine. It's flashcards made into a garland. I have fun making these but they were so time consuming! I figured they can be used to decorate a gift box or bad. Or used as tree decoration.





This was my idea for a business card. I plan to hand out to anyone interested in my stuff. I broke my electric pencil sharpener....so let's hope I made some cash to replace it....lol



Magnets


Decorative trees. Fun to make but once again very time consuming.


I bought a small journal and altered it with a painted angel. I plan to have anyone interested to give me their email address and better yet to give me an order for a custom piece
I'll take photos of the craft fair and my table. I'll let you know how it went.

  1. I love this. It was so nice to see you the other day. I love all of the things you have made and brought to the fair, and I was glad to hear that you were able to "barter" for some of those delicious cupcakes. ;)

    Can't wait to get settled in and start making some time for "crafting". Talk to you soon!!!
