Retro Indie Market Report!

Last weekend I traveled to Florida to visit my dad and to work with my friend, Darlene at the Retro Indie Market.


Where's Darlene?

The event was held in a large historic school building. We were on the second floor.



All of my photos were taken before the show opened. Afterward, we were just too busy to get out!

Darlene is an antique dealer. Here are some shots of her booth:





Here are some of the booths near us - I wish I had more photos!




These dolls sold out quickly. They were only $15.00!!!! So cute!



This is Amanda, one of the organizers of the event.



This is a vendor named Stefanie...


and her booth...



The line of shoppers waiting to get in stretched around the block. It was a little bit cold for Florida and they were anxious to get in!



Were there cupcakes? Of COURSE there were cupcakes!



Thank you to Michelle and Amanda and everyone who made this event such a success!

Art Unraveled 2010

Here are a couple of the projects that I made at "Art Unraveled."

The first is a shadowbox assemblage which was taught by Annie Lockhart.

The second is a silver wire pin. I know that my jewelry-designing friends will be proud of me for completing this!

The best thing about the event was seeing my precious friend, Darlene, who lives in Florida. We have been friends for a l-o-n-g time.

We also took classes from Traci Bautista, but they were more "process" than "product" and I didn't finish anything. However, I did learn a few things about markers...

The retreat was fun because I tried some new things. I have a new appreciation for collage art and jewelry-making.

And it was great to catch up with Darlene!
