This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

which is great and all that they let me send a test post but I wonder if I can do it regularly... I'm gonna try right now....
see you in seconds- or not.

I knew I hated vegas

Vegas baby vegas.... why do people really think it's so awesome? I lost money and without even gambling!

I just did the ACRE show and all in all I heard it was slower than normal but mine was completely awful. I know I am supposed to be happy and peppy here at blogspot but f- that. I'm totally bummed.

on the positive side I met some amazing people and though I felt as though I was in a christopher guest movie- I loved all that I met. I want to thank everyone that felt bad for me and tried to help me!


here are a few faves and some great helpful new friends:

as soon as I have the energy to go through my cards I will list all the other amazing artists I met...

thanks Kim Visionquest for the support and beer :)

finger polkadots

phew so patchwork is over- and it was a huge success! thank you everyone at patchwork for that!!! my feet are still recovering- I need more comfortable shoes. or I need to suddenly be 18 again. since option 2 isn't happening, ugly comfort here I come!

the other thing I learned while at patchwork was that while needle felting I should wear something on my finger... I looked at them and they were FULL of brown dots- I think I tattooed my fingertips with yarn. is that possible? well anyway I love the process and I just need to fine tune it so I am not injured for life.

here are some of the things I created for the show






I will post more tomorrow... that's a lot of pictures for today. They all have handmade sterling backs so that they are reversible- which I am pretty happy with. soon I will have some for sale in my etsy shop.

I saw some GREAT work at Patchwork and met some awesome people so I hope to find their sites today to share with you.


off to the grind now.

more time consuming things

so I learned how to needlefelt (well my friend heather showed me- not sure I learned) I made a few "beads" that I want to use in silver and I can't figure out how to get them into the silver... any suggestions? here they are: each an inch or less...



I also photographed a few new things for my upcoming show... www.patchworkshow.com it's this weekend in santa ana (sunday) and it should be HOT out but also fun. I get to share again with my friend Candy who I love! she is such a talented knitter- but she can do ANYTHING. it's amazing.

check out my new photos on my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/myfriendroze/


hope to see people out at Patchwork!

Renegade

well I got in! I get to go to san francisco and hope the people in that city like my stuff! (and buy it of course) I was 1/2 hoping I didn't get in because I needed a refund on the $ but, here's hoping it was worth it!

I am really looking forward to spending time with my friend kelley while I am there and she has so nicely extended her home to me. she doesn't know what she's in for... it's a lot of crap to put in the house.

I am also looking forward to my mission burrito mmmmmm elfarolito. OMG they have a website now! www.elfarolitoinc.com maybe they aren't as good and down and dirty as they used to be. uh oh. I get the super burrito. it's humongous and yes I eat the whole thing every time. I will take photos then.

on another note my needle felting materials came in and I hope I can make something cool out of it... because right now- not so much enjoying what came of my last experiment. the needle felting stuff looks great but pairing it with silver is causing me pain.

anyway off to craft/create/eat.... or do something.

happy mother's day

to my mom!! ( and any other moms out there...) even though it's a hallmark holiday, you still deserve it.

here is what I made for my mother and it actually got there in time!




it's super long so it fits over her head and doesn't have a clasp. she said it was a machaiah. In my terms that meant she was happy that it was easy to use. I think that's yiddish for blessing.

today I am making a few more necklaces for my upcoming show next weekend. www.patchworkshow.com. it's a drive to get to in santa ana but last show I did very well and I get to share with my friend Candy again! (pinkcandystudios.com)
