buying handmade in 2010

I am a billion years late in updating, but here are the awesome things I bought (or traded for) at A Handmade Holiday and City of Craft in December!

From A Handmade Holiday:


Orphan doll from ATAW illustration and design, screen print from Alex Westgate Design & Illustration and rolled up poster (it was a gift so I didn't take a photo, but it's a Stars poster) from Doublenaut

From City of Craft:


Trip Print Press; Doublenaut


Denture Thief (did I ever mention how much I love skulls?); Julie Moon (and hearts?); petit flaneur (and food?)


Needle Book (and robots?)


bespoke uprising (Super cute tea towels! Hm. I don't want to give them away anymore.) ; Trip Print Press


Old Weston (Who doesn't want to craft their day job?)

I also made money (with Miriam Grenville)!


This 2 dollar bill is pretty amazing. I still have to finish it with some sewing though.

And, while I was cleaning up the debris from the two shows, I came across this:


An original collaboration between my wonderful tablemates at A Handmade Holiday: Deadweight and ATAW illustration and design. Hahahaha. Product of our waiting between customers. My contribution is the paper, pen and a few random scribbles. I will frame this. Heh.

Happy 2011 everyone!
