rebel rabbit yell: more, more, more!
by gl. at 11:59 pm
only computer problems have kept me from writing about the rebel rabbit craft fair sooner! big kudos to anna, a former artist's way client, who organized it. as far as i could tell, it was a smashing success! great atmosphere, a creative raffle for a good cause, and excellent vendors.
i had planned to also go to the handmade bazaar & the sunday art mart, which were at the same day & time, but i spent & saw plenty at the rebel rabbit. :) i got cards, jewelry & gifts. i am thrilled to finally own a locket anna hand-painted, and i've always wanted a bracelet made out of typewriter keys!

there were lots of great vendors, so what i got reflects only a few of the potential crafts i could have indulged in:
anna magruder: a hand-painted locket (fortune cookie on one side, a hand on the other), a rebel rabbit pin, a delicious krispy treat & a bracelet her husband made out of a bicycle spoke (which i have already bent into a less graceful shape).
cute girl creations: a bracelet i can't say any more about in case someone is reading the blog.
flapper girl: a cupcake pincushion! i don't even sew, but it was too cute not to get... for someone...
sarah landwehr: i loved almost everything sarah made, and managed considerable restraint by walking away with just a few cards and earrings made from vintage buttons. she teaches art to middleschoolers.
wacky women r fun: a bracelet made of typewriter keys. i picked one which had a fun mix of colors & shapes, and she popped another key on for me at the last minute so it would fit better.
sweet bonny: a couple of cards.
ladymade: tiny gifts for young neices. mary ann naylor runs church of girl, which has a similar mission to scarlet star studios: to support people making art!
icarus creations: several cards featuring portland bridges. i love portland bridges!
also, it turned out the rebel rabbit craft fair was a great place to meet people. i'm usually supershy at craft events, but liz recognized me from one of linda's events, and mary ann anylor recognized my voice from the lov.li fair! but best of all was the woman who remembered sven's let sleeping gods lie trailer at the hp lovecraft film festival 2 years ago and remembered the shirts we wore to promote it! she said she was looking forward to the full film this year and i told her we were, too. :) *knock wood*
