Gah. I hate being sick. I hate being sick for the second time in the space of a month (seriously, I just got over another cold before Christmas), and I hate being sick on my frikkin' birthday. Still, it gave me a day off that I ordinarily wouldn't have taken, and all the birthday celebrations have been scheduled for this weekend. So it all works out.
Nothing else much to add. I finally managed to sell a couple of pieces at my etsy story (fandragon.etsy.com , pluggity plug plug plug), and once Nathan and I have another photo shoot I'll be able to add a few more designs, including something new I've been trying with salvaged pieces from an old piano. Christmas was excellent; the whole family together in Florida and now I have many many more books to read. And Nathan bought me a brand new Dremel! (The old one was starting to let out a high-pitched whine. If it had been a car, I'd say it was about to throw a rod. Or just catch on fire.) Looking ahead, we already have plans to travel to Ohio and New York, and since I did three craft shows last year, I've set the goal this year to do at least four. More on that later.
For now, I need some tea.

D.I.Y. Fest at the Scrap Exchange in Durham, NC
https://scrapexchange.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/DIY-Fest-full-page-color-web.jpg
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 :)
San Diego Comic-Con 2015
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 ~Llyzabeth (https://www.deviantart.com/llyzabeth) 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.
:iconllyzabeth: and I will also be wandering around Comic-Con in our costumes on Frid
Millstock Festival 2015
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 st
High Point University Fall Festival - September 13
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 fr
