Savage Snowdrop Art and Craft Fair

So I was so annoyed about the poor attendance at some of our shows that I swore I could do a better job myself. Be careful what you say out loud- the Imp of the Perverse is always listening.

By a roundabout way too complex to mention, I wound up running a craft show next February. Now I'm not the most organized of folks, and I have never done anything like this before, but I have every confidence this will be a great show. And why am I so confident? Because I delegated!

I have found 2 dozen gifted crafters who have all volunteered to help out, to manage press releases, to make posters, to notify the local media and to send me pictures of what they have.

We have a blog, http://savagesnowdrop.blogspot.com/ dozens of goodies for a raffle/door prize, a beautiful venue in Savage MD, posters and flyers. I could not be happier.

The show is in Savage MD on Saturday, February 16 at 9035 Baltimore street. We have jewelers, knitters, glass crafters and paper makers , as well as handmade journals and a fancy tea.

It should be great!

Sold the ACEO from the group below.

This piece of green and streaky glass looked like a giant medusa floating in the sea. So what else could I do but I make but an ACEO with a 3D glass and wire baby jelly fish in front? To my delight, this sold yesterday. This is a nice art form.

The ACEO Challenge

So I belong to the Creative Glass Guild of Etsy, a friendly group that meets online to promote glass in general. There are lots of great jewlers and fused glass artists on it, but not too may stained glass mavens like yours truly. For August, they have challenged us to create ACEO, those collectible mini cards of original art for we who love the stuff, but cannot afford large pieces.

I came up with this mini evening landscape . The glass is a wonderful opaque steel blue and white combo, the moon in the upper corner is iridized and the wire work tree is silvered . Not too bad for a few hours work. Hope the group likes it. http://www.cgge.org/challenge.aspx
