Getting ready for Art Attack!

So, I painstakingly spent my Saturday afternoon getting high on epoxy fumes and losing track of time as I carefully placed guinea hen feathers and buttons on bridal hair combs. Though I also made a few headbands, my focus was held by the subtle differences between downy under-feathers and larger plumes, the way the light catches a small red button held against a giant black one. It was glorious.
Thankfully, I also had an amazing night out both Friday and Saturday to counter-balance all of this hardcore craft-nerd time.
I plan to bring these with me to the April 26th Art Attack in Jersey City, so if you are interested you are just going to have to pay me a visit! Check out the craft mafia web site for more info on the craft fair.

Preparing for the LITM craft show this weekend. I've made a few feathery hair things, stapled a pile of zines, and ordered lots of copies of my CD-r from Monotone Records, but I am proudest of these vintage linen pillows sewn from rescued flea market remnants in fantastic shape. They are luxurious and took a lot of pressing and detail work.
I'm also pretty stoked on my banner, even if I DID get epoxy on it this weekend. Argh.
Anyway, wishing I didn't have to do my real job for the rest of this week because I'm so excited for the craft fair! I can't wait to stamp out some tags for pricing, and figure out how I'm going to bag my wares! See you at the show (pretend I just sang that at you like I am the lead singer in a pop punk band)!
