Tinkering

Since I forgot to take pictures of both the things I made for the craft fair, as well as the booth, I made a mental note to take some pictures of the things I've made for this weekends fair. I won't actually be attending. Mom, Gary, Mike, Violet and I are heading out to the Pirate Fest in Wentzville, MO. But Christine, the sweetheart that she is, said she'd take anything I made and sell it for me. This is a jewelry specific show so here are some of the things I've made so far. If I don't sell them this weekend, I'm going to put them on Etsy.


'Alexandrite' Flower Drop earrings


'Lilac Opal' Flower Drop Earrings


Flower Drop Bracelet


Slate blue freshwater pearl & swarovski crystal cluster earrings


Purple Coral Branch earrings


Turquoise Coral Branch earrings

Strange Folk Festival

Yesterday, was the Strange Folk Festival. I went and shared a booth with Christine and Dawn. It was hot, but the turn out was awesome. I didn't really make many things, and still managed to make about $50. I got a sunburn too, but thats my fault for not wearing any sunscreen... but to be honest it didn't really cross my mind that I would need sun screen at the end of September. Autumn (the director) announced that it's going to be a 2 day event next year. That will be fun. Christine has invited me to be in another show with her in November in Granite City, so I'm going to start making stuff for that too. Wish me luck!
