Mucca Pazza at the Renegade Fair ~ Part 3
Here are a few more of the booths that I particularly liked as I wandered the aisles of amazing creativity:
This young woman, Jenifer from Sprout Studio, was thrilled to have her picture taken. I walked into her booth because I saw this skateboard with umbrellas painted on it hanging on a black wall. It was simple yet popped out like a red butterfly on a pile of ash. I also liked the way she displayed all of her other pieces…

Ach Ach Liebling (means: “Oh Oh Darling” in German) is the brainchild of Joanne Petrone, a local San Franciscan artist. I am a sucker for anything organic and just the fact that she had her necklaces displayed on a big ‘ol piece of driftwood did it for me. Then I actually found her pieces to be really interesting and varied:

And then there was the name: 11:11 Enterprises…well, not really. I was first attracted to the amount of color splashed out on this table. At closer look I saw that it was all very well organized…oh, they are wallets, and card holders, and passport/check covers…whoa! that’s a lot of stuff. So I took a photo…and then I saw the name of her business. I am born on 11.11 so I asked her why she calls her business 11:11 and she told me that she loves the time. I wish I had asked her a bit more because I am sure she had more to say. Check out her website here (and she has a few interesting blogs):

I bought a little orange vinyl purse/pouch from Miss Alison just because I really needed one. Her handmade pouches of all sizes and shapes are really colorful and playful:

I didn’t spend too much time at this booth, but I again loved the colors and the amazing amount of products on display with a common theme: sketches of a cute little girl. Jen Lukas has got them painted on little wooden squares, on canvas bags (the bags were REALLY cute!), even mouse pads. That’s what you call a niche:

Amy McClure from Olaria Studios (Olaria means pottery in Portuguese) makes jewelry out of clay. Her colors and designs are what pulled me to her booth:

And last but not least, the ETSY booth. If you are interested in handcrafted art (to make yourself or purchase) go to this amazing site called etsy: www.etsy.com
You can easily create your own page and display/sell/share what you make with millions of other creatives. I myself have dabbled in jewelry, but I have not touched any of my tools in over a year. I am what Barbara Sher would call a “scanner”…I am into so many things, they come and go into my life…and then they come again! So when I do touch my tools again I will share that with my readers.
