A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. It has nothing to do with the fact that other people want what they want. Indeed, the moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist and becomes a dull or an amusing craftsman, an honest or a dishonest tradesman.
Adventures at Last Thursday ~~ Gremlin and I had fun meeting lots of new people, even though it was a very sunny afternoon.
I had an intriguing time trying to keep people from trying to sell me/convince me of things. Isn’t there a popular etiquette clause that says “hey, she’s working right now, it’s probably not the best time to hit on her in eerily specific ways/exhort her to pursue jesus/try to sell her things/ask her to sign up for my program.”
However, it was generally hilarious more than anything else.
I won’t be selling in the winter season, since the street won’t be closed, etc etc, but I’ll be back come spring.

Crafts & Caffeine at Maeve's Cafe
Twin cities folk ~~ come see some lovely & talented local crafters, myself included, and hey, who doesn’t like coffee?
A glimpse into my current project: waking dreamcatchers from windfall branches and cruelty-free organic hemp.
I am continually surprised by the clarity they bring to my work space.
These three are up on etsy right now. <3
Jewelry commission I’ve been working on.
Making shisha last night — apple & mango with sage.
One of the upcycled watches I turned into original art bracelets.
I couldn’t not brag.
25 mm at the widest part.
What do you think, bracelet? Necklace? Something else entirely?
My dear friends Keely and Abby came to visit, and they left me with some old jewelry. This week I’ve been turning all the bracelets into small dreamcatchers.
I used a waxed twine to contrast the brightness of the metals, and I had fun choosing spiders and decorations for these. I think the simplicity suits their size — they’re almost small enough for a necklace, depending on how much moxy the wearer has.

Thanks for the jewelry gifts, darlings.
It’s been too long since I finished a dreamcatcher. Maybe that’s what I should do tomorrow night …
