Local Craftacular Type Thingamajigger

Immediately after the First Friday of my "Collaborations in Junk" show was a local Craftacular event. I heard about it shortly before and I thought, what the heck- maybe they have some openings. So I called up and sure enough, they did! So, I had to take more time off work, but I had all the art done. Plus display items hanging around to boot. It ended up being a really good idea. I met some nice people, made more sales and lined up some things for the new year. I hope I can get in on that thing again next year. :)


Here's what my booth looked like:

Collaborations in Junk: THE SHOW

So the show finally came. I got to convert a little empty room into my own tiny gallery space for my junk show. So here's what it looked like:

Croquet folder holders
Sketches of old photos and old label art with fabric swatches in the mix
Recycled metal xmas trees and a fabric map of the USA hanging crookedly
Dolled up tractor umbrella, model T steering wheel and drawer pulls as xmas tree. Plastic farm animal wreath in background.
Recycled metal trees galore, the one in the foreground has baby food jars as display spaces for tiny objects- here it's for Halloween- so there are bugs in the jars. Rubber, fake bugs. Not real ones.
Lamp, lantern, ornaments, figures. Yep.
