Steampunk Street was a blast!

The costumes were out in full force and I wished I had been able to go check out the other vendors and the art exhibits, I know it must've been awesome, but it was an awesome crowd! I didn't sell as much as I'd hoped but got out a ton of business cards, so that rocks =)

The weather was icky, windy =( And I forgot some of my canopy weights! Jeff had to go back home to get them which left me super behind in getting setup but he was a trooper and helped once he got back with the weights. With my lights and sidewalls up my booth was I think the one respite from the cold and wind =)

My cool new steampunk pieces were a big hit with the crowd which rocks because they were by far the closest I have come to producing truly steampunk work, so I couldn't be happier with that. I didn't sell as much as I wanted but for a 4 hour street fair, but I had really good traffic and got out a lot of business cards, truly my main goal. The organizer for Wild West Con was there and mentioned the 2012 Steampunk show in Tuscon (he'd been keeping his eye open for artists he'd like to see there) and told me how awesome my work was and that I should set up as a vendor next year. I don't know if I could handle the logistics of that (3 days, I don't have a helper, can hubby feed the birds?), but the validation couldn't be more amazing!

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes and thanks to all those that visited my booth, you were all so awesome!

Steampunk Street!

Tomorrow night in Downtown Mesa, Part of Main Street will be turned into Steampunk Street as part of Mesa's 2nd Friday Sci Fi theme for April 8. And I'll be there! Have been really busy trying to get things made for it and trying to get my booth a better appearance.

In doing all this I totally realize how horrible I am at time management and I know I get so scattered when I have no focus, so it's so awesome for me to get back into doing second Fridays, it gives me a set goal that I can't fudge!

So I did get a lot done! I made little lock and key charms, screw head buttons, lots of small industrial scrap pendant, some uber cool steampunk/goth hearts that I so love! And some really cool steampunk pieces. All these pieces were on the fly, too, no doodles to go by and I love when I work like that, ti's so awesome.

So here's a pic of a bunch of my new goodies! If you're local I hope you can drop by and check them out and say Hi, I would love it =)
