If you did not make it to the show, you missed a great event. Thanks to the Hollywood Craft Mafia, the show was well advertised, well organized, and very well attended. At least when I was there. There were plenty of booths and so many people, it was a challenge to see them all. Of course I'm always up for a challenge. I had already studied the website and knew exactly which booths I was interested in but actually bought a few items from ones I just found in passing. My favorite find will be a gift for my daughter's 21st birthday which is coming up way to soon. She loves pirates...... so it seemed to make sense when I was there. Not only did I purchase something from LuRu of the Tortuga Tile Works but in talking to her, realized we have friends in common. It felt great to support artists who actually live in the community and who I might even know in a round about way. I tend to prefer art shows more than craft shows honestly and if one of my very good friends was not participating, I may have passed this one by. As typical in these situations, I'm glad I went. There was great live music, good food, and some very fine art in this craft show and now a few pieces of it found their way to my home. I will certainly keep an eye out for future events.

ReplyDeleteGreat blog post! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and very happy to hear you enjoyed yourself!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming out to the show. As an organizer, it is so nice to hear that people had a good time. Even though we knew the vendors, we were still blown away by their talent, there really is a very fine line between art & craft.
ReplyDeleteI was totally amazed by the turn out. It was actually difficult to move thru the booths at one point. Good thing I'm tall. What I liked the most was that each vendor was so willing to talk about their art and the processes they use. Helps to appreciate their work even more.
ReplyDeleteReally had fun meeting new folks and sharing in the funky local vibe! Thanks for the mention, hope the flask is well loved!
ReplyDeleteI have some of LaRu's work from Tortuga Tile Works and love it. She's a great representative of the South Florida art scene!
