Here’s one:

“The world is more malleable than you think and it’s waiting for you to hammer it into shape.” – Bono

Samantha Webster from Creative Loafing interviewed me as part of a series she is doing on Charlotte area jewelry artists. The series will appear in the Klepto blog.  I was thrilled to participate! Can’t wait to read the rest of the interviews.

Are you participating in a craft show this summer? You may want to take a look at Brandy Agerbeck’s Craft Show 101 post over at Loosetooth. She documented her experiences preparing for and participating in the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago back in 2003. She shares her philosophy on participating in shows, a list of what she made/bought, a diagram of her booth layout, tons of tips and lovely photos of her booth. Brandy has some great advice for both newbies and pros.

I still covet those bowls she made to hold her jewelry.

Are you planning to apply for a space at Craft Attack? If you answered “Yes!”, be sure to submit your application by July 31st. It’ll be here sooner than you think.

If you’re not familiar with Craft Attack, it’s an outdoor show that will be held from 10 am – 5 pm Saturday, October 10th at Independence Park in Charlotte – Google map. It’s organized by the Hornet’s Nest Crafters Etsy Street Team.

Vending spaces are 10 x 10 feet and the fee is $75.00. Two artists may share one space. They said the jewelry category is one that fills up fast to be sure to enter ASAP if you’re interested.
