I almost opted not to post this pic of a new pair of earrings, since I realized they looked like slightly sleepy eyes against that white background...but then I realized that actually makes me smile.

So my temporary “crafters stick together ducf”

So my temporary “crafters stick together ducf” tattoo has begun to wear off a little, but the good vibes from an incredible @detroiturbancraftfair have not! What an amazing weekend. Thank you to legends-for-a-reason @handmade_detroit, the incredible ducf volunteers, my magical helpers @puzzler1952 and @fishkneads, helpful @masonictempledetroit staff, and of course the thousands of shoppers who came out in full force to support this community of makers! We had a great time vending next to our show neighbors @puffsofdoom, who came all the way from Chicago, and Dupe, who killed it at their first-ever show. Of course I also did a little shopping myself. I can’t show all of my haul here because there are gifts involved, but pictured here are amazing items from @handmade_detroit designed by @sloe_gin_fizz, @jkmsoycandles, @scotty_from_ap, @whiteowljewelry, @lostferngoods, @paisleypaperco, and @partyofonepaper @giveinkcourage

I’m always amazed at the sense of community I feel at @detroiturbancraftfair ,and the sheer number of truly kind people in my world. Feeling really lucky right now. Also, there’s a lot of really great stuff here! We’re here today until 7:00 and tomorrow from 11:00-6:00.

So when E had homework that required him to collect labels, tags, etc from Michigan-made products in our home, it was easy for him to find lots of things. Then I looked at just the first 4, and I realized that with the exception of the Saunders chocolate, it’s pretty much a DUCF vendor preview! @gusandgrey @partyofonepaper @bonbonbonchocolate @mimiandferne #ducf #vendorpreviewhomework

By request, a piece that incorporates these emerald green matte glass seed beads, which I like in tassel form. #seedbeadchallenge #necklaceforbb #michiganmaker #artdecojewelry #tasseljewelry #morecolorplease

With the exception of a few scratches I need to buff out, these triangles are nearly where I want them finish-wise. Now it’s time to drill and assemble into the bracelet I’m planning. Swipe to see how they’ll line up in bracelet form!

My mother always told me it’s important to have the right tool for the job, and I have to say that’s advice I use often. I am in love with my new 14” bolt cutters! They cut through 8 gauge brass and copper wire like buttah... #righttoolforthejob #momwasright #toolgeek #toolsmakemehappy #makeradvice #detroitartist #wirebracelets #jewelrymakingtips #diypsiprep
