Mediums and Lots of Them

I've been a little scattered with my crafting lately. Trying to produce for craft fairs is a little tedious at times, but at the end you feel as if you created something and the individuals buying them are giving them a lovely home.

A friend of mine gave me some rather disturbing new the other day. She is a fellow craft artist like myself with a few less mediums but the are increasing rapidly. Last year she was my partner in multiple craft fairs. We spent a year producing crochet hats. Our fairs started off slow, but picked up. Anywho. We were speaking about prices and how you never get what you think you will out of art and she stated that she had seen a couple of people wearing her hats around town. Now, this is usually a treat. To have someone buy your art and where it with pride is better times over than the monetary gain. Problem was the hat was dirty, tattered, and torn. I felt for her immediately while wondering, why would someone purchase art and then commence to destroy it?. With this being said my want to make hats have been a little less lately.

What I have been working on has ranged from clothing to toys to paintings to drawings. I am dying to get outside and paint in the yard. Today is the first day in a long while that it has been absolutely gorgeous. Much to my dislike I have spent it inside working but without working I would not be able to afford to craft and that would be a shame.

I am currently working on what was a hush hush project, but I can't keep secrets for long. I call it project Logan. A couple I know have a 18 month old. She is beautiful and unique. With this in mind and the fact that east Tennessee has an entire lack of beaches I have been working on a take along play place. There is a mat that has sand, water, and dirt areas. I am at this point creating one by one little creatures, people, boats and play things to bring the beach to a park near her. My goal is to have this ready for a park adventure in the spring.

That's all for now.
