The Scrap Exchange is celebrating 25 years of creative reuse in the community with a DIY Festival this Saturday, April 16! Games, crafts, music, food, fun, and a crafters section including yours truly setting up a booth to sell things.

I'll be selling hand-carved wood staffs, jewelry, a decorative Steampunk comb or two, and at least one Steampunk hat. I'll also be working on a woodcarving during the festival, in case anyone's interested in seeing that sort of thing

Darn it, once AGAIN I forget to post a journal entry about an event until the day of the event itself.

So ANYWAY, I have a couple dozen of my pieces on display at SDCC this year. For anyone who doesn't know (and that's apparently a LOT of people), Comic-Con has an Art Show every year. It's in the Sails Pavilion, and I'm in space D2, right next to who's in space D1. The last five or six pieces I've posted to my gallery will be on sale, so if you were able to make it to Comic-Con this year please stop by to take a look, and maybe place a bid.

and I will also be wandering around Comic-Con in our costumes on Friday, so keep an eye out for a set of identical twins, one Cyberpunk and one Steampunk. 

Darn it, I always forget to post info about a craft show until the day before it actually happens.

Lots of fun stuff going on at this year's Millstock Festival in Clayton, NC. The organizers are closing off a couple of blocks of Main Street to make the festival even bigger. Several live bands will be performing, there will be a free chalk-drawing contest, a beer tent AND a wine tent (go to the Deep River Brewing Company stand, buy yourself some 4042 Stout. DO IT.) and of course there will be art. I'll have a range of my steampunk jewelry on display along with several of the staffs that are featured in my gallery. And this year I'll have a steampunk hat for sale. Just because.

So as usual, come to the festival! Have fun! Buy things!

I met one of the organizers of this event at MakerFaire Raleigh this year, and he invited me to set up a booth at the Fall Festival.

Looks like there will be a really wide range of exhibitors (not too many craft shows will have bookbinders AND robot-builders). The goal is to have as many exhibitors as possible do a demo of their craft, which basically means I'll be sitting at my table and woodcarving for six hours (with some staffs and jewelry for sale as well, natch).

There's also music (a cappella groups and jazz), a tent of craft activities for kids, and best of all the festival is free free FREE. (For exhibitors as well as attendees, YAY!)

It's all happening this Saturday, doors open at 10:00 AM! We're in a MUCH bigger venue this year, so there should be more booths, more events, slightly less shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. www.makerfairenc.com/

Last year's event was fun, but also free to set up a booth. This year there were booth fees, so the pressure's on to sell enough to make the whole thing worth my while. I'll have a nice mix of my earrings and pendants on sale, plus a few of my wood carvings. Oh, and this one will be available too: fandragon.deviantart.com/art/W…

Come to the show! Enjoy the events! Buy things!
