Crafting Bonanza

Today was my only day off this week, and instead of spending it with my boyfriend like I was supposed to, I spent it shopping for craft supplies with my mom! It was fantastic.

There is a local art market, called the Market Collective, coming up next month and my friend and I are planning on participating. I have done this market a few times, and every time it has been a huge success. Of course, that was a couple of years ago when it was just getting popular. Now it's huge! Instead of one day, they do it for a whole weekend. And in December they do not one, but two weekends! It's so awesome being a part of something that used to be nothing but a small group of artists under one roof, just trying to get the community involved in local art. The Market Collective has rapidly spread, almost like an epidemic, throughout the community, and even to other parts of the country. Being able to put yourself out there in an easily accessible local market; whether your are a painter, photographer, vintage collector, baker, or a musician, is such a great opportunity within itself. I can't wait to do it again!

I just made a tonne of hair flowers, and I will be making a crap load of magnets. I also have some prints of some paintings left over from the last market I did a couple of years ago, so that should be enough! The market isn't until December 11th and 12th, so there is still time, but I will definitely be taking some pictures! Until then, it will be non stop crafting.
