Reviews

It has been a couple of crazy weeks and I am glad to say I am finally employed!
Although toy design is my major I think the fashion course I have been taking are taking in a great direction!

As for the reviews! check out the AnnelynDesigns Blog for a special review of my cupcake cuties and participate for a chance to win an item from my Etsy shop!

Good luck to everyone!
It is time to call it a night and get some rest for tomorrow!!!

Just in time for Easter

I finally got to make a few bunny necklaces in time for Easter.
I had a few done but they kept going to other shops. They will be up for sale at ChelsyBear on Etsy and also at Flockshop and Enid and Edgar.

Bunny Necklaces in various colors.

Along with some crocheted bunny necklaces I made a few simple bunny plush in all different colors and patterns.

Have a Happy Easter!

At the Pink Parlour

Yesterday was a great day at the Pink Parlour Festival.

I was at the RBK booth and we sold plenty of toys, plush and accessories to all kinds of great people and met great artist and crafters. Although I have been busy with school work and other art shows I still managed to make a few things to sell and did very well.

Here a few picks

It was cloudy during the day and it was drizzling in the morning during set up, but the day was wonderful, as most people described it.

Many people were there right at 11:00 and they just kept on coming.
There were goodie bags available for people who came in early, which I think was an awesome idea because the were like reusable shopping bags where people put what they purchases.

The set up was great and there was enough room for everything.
At the end of the day it was pretty empty.

There we a wide range of vendor and few were food vendor including pastries, cupcakes, and candy. The cupcakes were really cute and this cupcake had really good frosting.
During clean up they were selling them cheap to all vendors.

I had a great experience at The Pink Parlour Festival as a vendor and a shopper.
I will look forward to next year's festival.

Now I am just preparing for another Silverlake Vintage Art and Craft fair, and putting together a small craft fair with Enid and Edgar vintage, and the rest of the RBK group.
Really looking forward to that!

Hope to see everyone there!

Mustaches Galore

The Shave and Mustache show was a great show with a lot of talent artists.

Al thought I have not painted in a while the painting turned out very nice.

I thank those who made it to the show! Thanks for the support.

The paintings are sold individually for $50 each, and can be bought as a set for $120. 

They will be up for sale at Monkey House Toys until April 17.

Here is a quick look at the painting process.

I had a great time making them, it all started with sketches at the DMV!

Little Cup O' Joes and Croissants were displayed too.

Now I am getting back in the groove of crafty stuff to sell at The Pink Parlour Festival this coming weekend.

Sunday, March 27th.

At the Santa Anita Race Tracks, join all the great crafters!

Crazy for the Mustache

I got some picture of my doll for the Doll Makers Show at the Cactus Gallery.

It will up until April.

She is completely handmade and made out of fleece.

Make sure when making a doll you don't sew the legs on backwards, like I did.

Third time is the charm! :) I had to be, or I was moving on!

Also...

 The Shave and Mustache Show is this weekend!

Here is a small sample of my paintings for the show, they will be up for sale until April.

I am excited for this show and meeting all the great artist who will also participate in this show.

Being Busy is Good A Thing

I have been keeping to busy these past few weeks. I had a lot to do, a custom hat order, little cup o' joes for flock shop, paintings and plush for shows, and homework for school. I can not complain it keeps me going.

I recently went to school which is really exciting but since I already have a previous degree and I am a full time crafter it gets really hard to buy all the supplies necessary. Good thing my friend Steve came to the rescue with an awesome discount on art supplies! Now I am prepared for fashion!

Besides that, I will be part of a Doll maker Show this weekend, along with my RBK buddies and other really talented artists. Opening night is this Saturday, March 12, from 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm. @ the Cactus Gallery in Eagle Rock.

	Cactus Gallery 4534 Eagle Rock Blvd. Eagle Rock, CA 90041

The art will be up until April 5th, so check it out if you are in the area and can't make it for opening night.

Next Weekend!

I will be part of another show at Monkey House Toys. It is a Mustache and Hair show.

New Shops and Valentine Surprises

 I have been hard working to make things before I got back to school.

And working on orders for more Cup O' Joes.

All six of these large pillow Cup O' Joes are gone now.

This I went with my friends Steve and Jessica to Enid and Edgar to deliver products and measure up the area.

We have big plans to do our own craft event outside their shop, sometime in April or May.

We are rounding up some artist and I am really excited about what we at RBK have done.

I took a few picture of the display at Enid and Edgar with my new camera.

Everything is displayed so nicely by Sandy!

 

 I love that the cupcakes are displayed along side the vintage plates

The large narwhal is ChelsyBear but the Dinos are new creations of Jessica.

To finish of the day we met with Myra at Monkey House Toys. 

I am happy to say that ChelsyBear products and SandBoxHeroes products will be sold at Monkey House Toys.
It is a wonderful shop with lots of toys and artwork.

 

Finally, I am putting everything on hold to work on Valentine stuff for next weeks sale at Silverlake
