Be Inspired to Share Your Love of Art and Creating














I had a fantastic time at Handmade Mart this weekend. Even though it was pouring when the hubs and I set up the tent, it eventually stopped raining and stayed dry the rest of the day. It was great to see so many familiar faces. I had a bunch of repeat customers which is always nice and met quite a few new ones too. (Sorry the pics are blurry, but I think my camera was fogged up from the rain and humidity.














At last year's show I debuted the Block Party kid's art table which was a great success (See here) and so much fun. I couldn't disappoint the kids, so despite the table getting a bit wet from the rain, I set up the art table again this year. I even did a few impromptu lessons in Sculpey sculpting. Unfortunately, I forgot to put my SD card in my camera, so I was rather limited in what I could photograph. The kids didn't disappoint this year. Check out some of their creations. Lots of "so and so was here", lots of pretty lovely girl drawings , some grapes and even a chicken nugget.



















































Peace and pie...sounds like heaven :)




























































My personal favorite :P

Here's my little contribution from my mini "makin faces" lesson:














Take some time this week to share your love of creating with a child, be it your own or someone else's. I promise they will inspire you!!

This is a family event, so feel free to bring your kids. I'll have my kids art table set up like I did last year, so bring the kiddos by for some fun creating! Here's some of the artwork from last year's show: Handmade Mart Kid's Art 2009

The live music will start around 11am. They've got a great line up of local musicians including live Rockabilly bands hosted by two of our favorite sponsors, the Quarry House Tavern and Jackie's. A high energy, kid-friendly rock set will go on in the early afternoon, hosted by Rock-n-Romp.

Carmen's Italian Ice will be returning for a 2nd year, providing our vendors and shoppers sweet releief from the heat with awesome frozen goods. Carmen's booth will be located next to the music stage, so stop by for a mid-day treat.

Hands-on workshops will be hosted at the Artspring Art Square, located in front of the ArtSpring store on the corner of Ellsworth and Georgia. The Pyramid Atlantic Art Center will be leading workshops in screen printing from 1-3pm and paper making from 11am-3-pm.

I'll try to post some more sneak peaks tomorrow in between basketball games and Shrek Forever.
