American Craft Council in Baltimore

This past weekend was the annual ACC show in Baltimore. My sister Allison, also know as tigerlilly from tigerlillyshop.etsy.com was juried into a new area called "AltCraft", where new/up & coming artists are allowed to show their work for the retail portion of the show. This section of the show is only 2 years old.

me and allison at the ACC show

I flew to Baltimore last Tuesday to help my sister for the weekend, which was a great opportunity for us to meet new friends and artists, and get a feel for the show in general. We plan to join forces in the future, both working together to propel our ideas and jewelry/artworks forward. Here are some of the other 'AltCraft' Artists!

Dovetail!

Wonderful people, beautiful ceramics, and our neighbors at the show. This was their 1st market, and I hope to see them in the future.

Krewe Do Craft and Mardi Gras

Last year a group of us New Orleans crafters decided to start our own Mardi Gras Krewe. Our mission is to bring light to the very obvious issue New Orleans faces every Mardi Gras season: TRASH! After every parade the streets are literally covered with broken bead and trinkets.

The street sweepers have kept up on the clean up the last few years, but the WASTE is just mind boggling. Although most beads are recycled back as throws every year, their destiny is to become trash soon enough. And need I mention where most of the throws come from? China...

Krewe Do Craft is proud to be the 1st marching Krewe to throw about 90% HANDMADE throws! MAGNETS,T-SHIRTS,JEWELRY AND WEARABLES,TOYS,TRINKETS,ETC.

So we'll have less throws, and not everyone will catch something...but our items will be kept and treasured, instead of thrown into a landfill in a few days, or years.

If you're in the city, come check us out this year, and catch some HANDMADE with love throws!

We'll be marching with the Box of Wine Parade, before Bacchus on Sunday Feb. 22, from SECOND St. to CLIO St. This years theme is "Alice in Craftyland", so it'll be hard to miss our whimsical display of costumes!

My throws will consist of bouncy ball rings, magnets, pins, and my Cheshi-smile' stuffed animals.

you know you want one.

New Orleans Jewelry

I thought I'd share some of my new New Orleans creations! (copyrightMF)

"Let the good times roll!" The secondline is a tradition here in New Orleans, originally the parade was preformed for funerals. Music and people dancing with the umbrellas take over the street to celebrate the life of a loved one who's passed. Today, secondlines can happen at just about any celebration! Ya gotta' love this city!

Nola, and the super dome!

This necklace is a piece of history! After hurricane Katrina these signs were spray painted all over New Orleans. The overwhelming love and pride for our city came through with cans of spray paint, wood, and nails. The pendant really says it all. Nola, love it, live it, respect it!

the beginning

Ok here I am blogging world! lol

I'm starting a blog, because there's so much I want to share, and this will be a great starter before a website.
