1AM Pledge & Giveaway

 FaberUna is a huge supporter of the handmade industry.  They've helped support and spread the good word of all the handmade artists from around the globe.  If you've never heard of them before, you NEED to check it out!  If you're looking to buy handmade items, selling handmade items, or just enjoy browsing through all that is handmade, they have it all for you to see... 

In light of all the handmade and artistry word spreading, they are also having a 1AM Pledge and Giveaway for anyone who makes the pledge.  The 1AM pledge has a simple purpose behind it: to promote the idea that everyone can at least purchase one handmade item a month.

All you have to do is pledge and once we receive 1000 participants, they will randomly pic someone to win a brand new iPod Shuffle! Everyone can enter, crafters and non crafters alike.   The promo runs for 2 weeks, and you might think 1000 sign ups is a big challenge, but FaberUna had over 5100 visitors last month, with a total of over 30,000 page views!  

Whoever has the most supporting comments about their handmade craft, gets a FREE subscription to ReadyMade Magazine!  

Now...I ask the you support ME!  (as well as yourselves, I guess...kidding....)

1. Go to the homepage and make the promise & sign up. (it takes like 3 seconds!)

2. Go here and leave a note that I sent you there. (bragging & boasting is welcome)

------------------------------------------------

Are YOU a handmade artisan?  You can do the same for yourself and your supporters, just tell them about the 1AM pledge by posting to your blog, Facebook, etc.

Art Show Anyone?

If you're in the HOUSTON, TX area in the next few months, you need to go check out my friend Nathan Hansen's work at the Craft Texas 2010 show....

From September 25 - December 30, 2010

Here's Nate (sorry dude, this was the only picture I had of you on my computer) heehee!

A word about the show: "The exhibition features 51 of the best contemporary craft artists in Texas who work in clay, fiber, glass, metal, wood and in found/recycled materials.

I have two pieces from two separate bodies of work in the show, one from Devices and one from Relics. Each body of work has its own specific focus (More can be viewed on my website) but in general my work raises questions about the intrinsic values of physicality in contemporary America with respect to sedentary living."

The gallery is free and open to the public every day except Monday
