the made fair and zacc spectacular was last sunday... -11 degrees outside...each artist carted in our wares... between shivers and set up we pondered who would brave the cold to come out and see our gatherings... well... missoula is just that kind of place where folks will brave most anything to support their local peeps... and support us they did... we had sweet thoughtful visitors all day... thank you neighbors for supporting this hip little event... i had a grand time!
i really enjoyed working on my "stuff"... i soldered... painted... wrapped wire... a bit of a tribute to my year of art & soul... it was fun to tell folks to take a class with nina to learn this... misty for this... stephanie for these... and sally jean for this technique.... i put together my "merchandising"... tags, signs, display and really... that is the fun part for me... pulling together the package... so much so that i am hoping to lend a hand to my table mate and her candle company... so that will be good.
ta da...here i am... rusty truck designs... the name... well on the application is asked for the business name... so i had to come up with something... and over the last few years... rusty trucks have been appearing in pictures i have taken... and i thought oh then i can find some old metal toy trucks... cute display... well old rusty toy trucks not so easy to find... a trip to the montana antique mall and a collective "seek and find" with the sweet gals that work there and i found the two in this picture... i won a sweet
old blue tonka on ebay... so now i have 3... the perfect collection.
these are the folders i made to package the necklaces. denise had housed her portland art & soul charm swap in a similar design and i just loved it... p.s. she has a great new etsy site... go peek.
so hip hip hurrah!
now i'm off to finish up my christmas gatherings... we have days and days
no need to rush... right...
