I'm going to be at an artisan fair this Sunday, February 10 at Bentley's House of Coffee & Tea. (That's in Tucson, folks.) Also in attendance will be a number of splendid artisans in jewelry, plushes, hand-painted ceramics, clothing, handbags, and probably more things I'm not remembering at this point. Here's a partial list of who's selling:

• Corinne Elaina
• Cozy Comforts for Kids
• Dragon's Spark (that's me)
  
• Half Moon Jewelry
• Hand Made by Diana
• Modmoxie
• Old Pueblo Earring Co
• Rainestorm
• TnKerr
• Woolies

We're also having a little giveaway... everyone who signs up for our team's newsletter will get to pick an item from our "mystery bag." You might get a charm (I'm contributing some), a notecard, a pin, or something else handmade with love from one of the above artists.

Come out and get something really special for a loved one or yourself, just in time for Valentine's Day. We'd love to see you there!

I've been making these lately. It's fun... I like drawing and I like jewelry... this is both.

Most of these are available on DaWanda. A couple are in my Etsy shop.

I have a couple of craft shows under my belt now, and I feel like I'm starting to get a feel for it. I did a fair in October and one on Thursday of this week. The things show pretty well, and I'm noticing which pieces get the most positive responses.

I'll be at an arts and crafts fair at St. Mark's, December 1! Please come out and see me if you can... you'll be able to see all my wearables and such in person, and maybe go home with some nice gifts for the holidays. (^_^)

A couple of things I've made, but haven't yet put up on the Web site:

So, I'll be heading back to classes soon... That's a constraint, but also liberating in a way: I now feel freed from the obligation of “trying to make the business work”—and consequently, I'm branching out in my crafts and being more creative.

Also, I stumbled on a few great bargains, picked up a bunch of yarn and some knitting looms very inexpensively, and have been rediscovering the pleasures of yarn crafts. I made some lovely knitted baskets, and the act of making them was such a pleasure, too. It's nice to feel yarn again, even if the wool does make my eyes itch a little! ;-)
