The Slow Boat to China?
Yes, I'm a bit slow posting my photos from Crafty Wonderland, but here they are! I'm constantly struggling with people who don't understand that these are NOT digital copies, but each one a hand printed original. I've removed the word "print" from most my documentation and replaced it with Linocut & Etchings.
Redoing the booth set up was really fun, but took tons of time! My living room was a disaster for a month! I still need to come up with a better display that holds more and uses more height rather then table space. This is a 10' wide by 5' deep booth size.

Speed Dating Anyone?
I've never participated in a "speed dating" event. But on Wednesday, May 18, 6:00 pm at the Design Within Reach Portland Studio I'll be participating in the I Heart Art PDX's Mixer Match, Speed Networking, Round Two -Visual Artists and Galleries.
The short answer is there will be 20 galleries, 40 artists and we will have 2 mins with each gallery to show and talk about our work! Yikes! and Yay!
Have you participated in a Speed Dating event? or an interview process that is similar? I'd love to hear about it!
Tomorrow is Crafty Wonderland!!! Hope to see you there!!

From Under a Rock
Just a quick note to say "I'm still here!". My spring fever turned to a real fever and I was sick sick sick last week! Then all weekend at Pedal Nation pedaling my wares! Now, I'm digging myself out from under a weeks worth of laundry and dishes!But soon I'll be planning a new booth set up just in time for Crafty Wonderland's Super Colossal Spring Sale! And of course printing some new items!
More soon!!!

Sunday's Child
Sunday's child is bonny and blithe and good and gay. Thank the kitties I was born on a Friday.
This was an interesting week. At least for me.
BikeCraft ended pretty well, but Monday I woke up feeling a little funky. Sore throat and some nasty sinus crapola hanging around. Wednesday was the After Hours Mixed Media sale AKA interior designer craft sale. It wasn't as busy as I would have liked but all in all I made-out ok.
I was slightly depressed after it was over since I don't have anymore sales to attend this year. and plenty of stuff to sell.
I'm really trying to make etsy work for me, but I'm struggling to make it take off. I've revamped rephotoed, facebooked and tweeted. maybe not enough. I'm going to start reading more etsy tips.
Today I went to Crafty Wonderland. More as a reconnaissance mission than to shop. Though I bought this lovely hat from Wollie Originals with an owl on it! Please check her out! Awesome stuff and she's really nice too! www.woolieoriginals.com
Wow, inserting photos and having them make sense is a bit of a challenge tonight!
Back to discussing Crafty Wonderland. I was SHOCKED that vendors for other cities were there. I guess I shouldn't have been but I was. and i have mixed feelings about it.
I also went crazy collecting cards and checking out other peoples booths. Very inspiring. My favorite booth was actually an old camp trailer. Plus I really like the name of the booth
. Wanderlust. One of my ailments. Or talents. There were some really nice cards there, and some really bad ones. So bad I can't read the font. Some were bad but get the information across and that's ok too. One of the best cards was from, and there will be no surprises here, Emily Winfield Martin of the Black Apple fame. Yes, I am jealous of her success, but am also really happy to see a local gal doing so well!!
I also liked Ladymade and Yellowcake Crafts cards. I think they seemed like successful cards because I knew by looking at the imagery what shop they had belonged to, reminding me of the specific items I saw of theirs. My current cards for AlmostMonday have my paintings on them. I still don't know why.
Which brings me to another problem I'm struggling with. My seemingly identity crisis between being a print maker and an oil painter. Feed back appreciated.
