Forgot to mention last month, I have finally started selling at the biggest flea market in California, the Rose Bowl. It's so nice that the event is only a couple blocks from my home. Come look me up. I'm a permanent vendor located in a 10x10' spot in the middle of the crafting section just left of the Exit Gate B, booth 865.
I'm selling my handcrafted jewelry, some dream catchers I made and all the crafting supplies and jewelry kits I have on hand. Good thing I have a truck. I'm just so glad I decided to start selling here when I did. While purchasing my permanent spot, I was told there were only a few spots left. Whew! Almost missed out again. I'm now paid thru June. I know it's early but already I can't wait for the holidays. So, look for Teach Me Clay the 2nd Sunday every month at the Rose Bowl!
Late today on getting out my blog.
This day was quite pleasant. I spent the day at Pudingstone Lake with good friends, good music and great fun.
While walking around the lake, I did find some nice bamboo, sea shells and rocks.
I was in the need for some colorful beads. There is a craft fair coming up soon and I want to apply for a space as a vendor.
One of the requirements is a photo of your booth. Since the holidays, my finished pieces have dwindled (yeah, good sales this last season).
Anyway, I need more bracelets and necklaces to fill out my display. My bead stash is low so it's time to make some additional beads. Time to replenish my stash.
Do you remember your first time working with polymer or metal clay's? I didn't. Then, a few days ago I began cleaning out some old boxes in my garage.
I wanted to set aside old clothing/small appliances/knickknacks/etc., for a donation to my local thrift shop. Well, low and behold what did I find? A small box full of some of my first polymer and metal clay creations.
Too funny! Just look at the polymer clay, dull colors, burnt clay, bubbles leaching through the surface, no color distinction, very little imagination and uneven pieces. I'm still wondering why I keep those eggs (seen below)? I know I'm a hoarder at times, BUT really?
