Craftaluma has come and gone and I am left a little disappointed, but happy to have had the experience of my first craft show. Being its first year, I think this craft show has tons of potential, but I was saddened by the lack of attendees. The Veteran's Hall was a fine location, but the roadside signage was small, and I drove past the venue without noticing it. The crafts at Craftaluma were a bit of a hodge podge, some punk rock, some in the traditional etsy style, fresh and fun, and others a bit church bazzar.
I was happy to have met two very awesome crafters extrodinaire named Hillary and Linnea of
Plain Baby Jane and
unPaper (respectively).
Their booth was beautiful and they had some of the best and most adorable items I've ever seen including a lunchbag sack made with Heather Ross fabrics complete with bento box inside by Linnea. Hillary displayed beatiful handmade dolls, handmade panties for kids fashioned from funky fabrics, and plushrooms, a lavendar filled fabric mushroom (so adorable)!
All in all it was a good experience. I look forward to another one!
I came across the yarns of Habu Textiles a few months ago but had not seen such a selection until visiting Knitterly in Petaluma. The range they offer is incredible! Habu hand crafts all these amazing fibers, some with paper even. I don't know how to knit, but purchased these in hopes of using them to tie tags, wrap packages and even embellish paper shoes. Will post pics once I create something!
PCM's Holiday Craftacular was this Saturday and I made all kinds of winter inspired miniatures to sell. I make paper shoes of all kinds, and love the few I made for the show. I also crafted my miniature scenes atop vintage teacups instead of inside domes. This one of the woodland squirrel was loved by many and found a home.
I love these queen bee shoes. They stand quite a ways off their pedestal and seem to be teetering on these delicate dried blossoms.
My business cards presented on a bed of moss.
Woodland fairy slippers on a real dried mushroom. I love these!
A week from tomorrow is the Holiday Craftacular show hosted by the PCM. My first craft show coincided with their first ever Craftaluma last spring. I am excited to be participating in a holiday show and have lots of new work to sell. Come by handmade gift for the holidays and support crafters!!! My friend MJ will be selling her adorable paper chair mobiles as well as the cutest paper chair ornaments. I will be selling my miniature worlds in vintage teacups, gocco tea towels and beautiful hand-painted paste paper as giftwrap as well as many other paper treats! Come by and say hello!
New version of my miniature worlds...this time created atop a vintage teacup! I am making these for the Craftacular show coming up in December hosted by the Petaluma Craft Mafia. The price point is lower so they will be the perfect holiday gift for any budget. I will also be teaching a class on these in March at the^workshop in Berekeley!
