50/50 Pilsen

After all that preparing, the time is upon us.  I’m participating in 50/50 Pilsen this weekend.  This is a show that Mandy, Megan and Hesper have been planning for a while now.  I’m psyched, it seems to be coming together well.  I don’t have quite as many wood-burn products as I had hoped (and sorry, but I didn’t get pictures in time to post, I’ll post my display tomorrow, promise).  But that really doesn’t matter, I think this is still going to be an awesome show.  We’ve got some great artists and crafters here.  This weekend’s show is going to be primarily a craft show, and next weekend launches the art show.  Anyone local to Chicago, hope to see you there.

Post-Renegade, Pre-50/50

I got a better picture of that Boaraffe I posted a few weeks ago.

Now that Renegade is done with, I’m preparing for 50/50 Pilsen, an arts and crafts event planned by Mandy and two of her friends as a way to explore the intersections between art and craft. The first weekend of October, there will be a craft fair, the next weekend, an art exhibit which will continue for the rest of the month, on weekends and by appointment.

That’s it, this is the last one.  Here’s a little preview, a better shot will come later, as I get time.  Meanwhile, back to the grindstone preparing for Renegade.
