Rack Attack!

Setting up for a craft fair can be harder than it seems. Displaying your items for the public can make all the difference in how your craft is perceived. Here are a few Etsy sellers offering some handmade displays! Wildernest, by Sara Schalliol, offers various fun and colourful "sapling" tree racks for displaying jewelry at a store or in your bedroom! Claudine's Closet offers similar racks but made of wire for a more whimsical feel. And this simply, but ingenius, ring display comes from Jewels Curnow. What is so genius about this tiny stand you say? Not only does it offer a variety of ways to display rings, but it also has a tiny invisible slit on top enabling it to be used as a sleek biz card holder as well!

Double Dose Monday!

I usually update this blog during class (so studious I know), and considering I've been skipping quite a lot lately I've been a little behind. So today you're going to get a double dose! Ok, here I go...
A while ago on Etsy I discovered two great female artists in Portland. Lucia Johnson's art varies from whimsical hot air balloons to my favorites of ladies hanging out on patterned couches, all originally painted on windows, giving them a light 3 dimensional touch. Her prints are in the $20 range as well as a few mounted prints on painted boxes for around $50.
Similarly, Brenda Rose's artwork is painted on either found wood or canvas and layered with plexiglass, created a bit deeper 3 dimensional effect. I am so excited to have her artwork up at In Other Words for the month of March, so for anyone in Portland, OR, I highly recommend checking it out!
