June 9 was our first show. Wow. It was fun and hard work, and fun and hot, hot, hot - 90 degrees, ouch ... and - it was fun. We talked and showed our work and sold our work and decided that we can't wait for our next show. Our friends came to support us, strangers came after seeing our signs. Everyone had great things to say.
Here is just a bit of what we had to offer:
Here is just a bit of what we had to offer:
Cathy Kay had her really cute dresses, skirts, tops, pillows and dolls.
You can see more of her work at future Traveling Artists Roadshow events and occasionally at the Rust Belt Market in Ferndale.
David Lamberti showed some very cool tiles.. . faces & masks in rich colors like deep teal greens and browns.
Nell makes nightlights and more from vintage cups and saucers.
Shoppers found lots of goodies for themselves and gifts!
Textile Recycler dyes fabric, shirts, baby clothes and uses fabric and other items that might end up in the trash or landfills to create art quilts, pillows, dolls and more.
Twisted Couture makes jewelry with wire wrapping. Very pretty! Who doesn't love jewelry . . .
Dawn, AKA the Pink Lady makes cool jewelry as well, but at the show she brought her crocheted dolls. These babies are rather long and large, big enough to hug every day.
Dawn can also be found weekly at the Rust Belt Market in Ferndale.
