Come and see these new designs and more at one of the upcoming arts and crafts shows.
Fall Shows – Fall Colors – New Designs
Today is Labor Day and time to finish up some new baskets and start some new ones. Our first show of the season is behind us now and it was a good start. Whiteland High School was a new location for us and the Hoosier Handmade Craft Market was full of the expected wonderfully friendly customers and fellow artisan vendors.
Our next show will be A Fair of the Arts in Bloomington, Indiana on Saturday, September 14th as part of the Farmer’s Market. We will also be at the one on October 12th.
We are anxiously awaiting to hear back with approvals on a couple of others that will fill in our schedule for the year. Hope to have good news for you soon!
We have been working with fall colors and jute but we have some new sources of colored rope which are exciting any time of year.
The chill in the air finally started today so we are ready to get back to the “show business”. Hope to see you at one of upcoming shows!
“Expanding Our Line”
In a previous blog post I introduced some of new “Soft Pottery” designs. Expanding that idea a little more, one day recently I felt the urge to Go Big!
It took a few days to complete this one but the results have been quite pleasing. This is designed to be a floor or hearth piece standing at 9″ tall with a 12″ diameter. You can use it for whatever you want, so we gave a stiffening/hardening treatment and sprayed it with fabric protection. It is fairly strong and durable for $150.
Let me know what you think here.
