Tuesday, June 20th, 2006We had a very good and busy time at the renegade craft fair. Consequently we’re still recuperating from the sun and dust. We’ll be back soon. In the meanwhile you can check out our setup at the fair.
Introducing MoonblooD!
Thursday, June 15th, 2006
Hi Everyone! We are proud to announce that Lucyology (our t-shirt line) has made it’s official name change to MoonblooD. Our new website (Moonblood.net), will be up and running probably by the end of next week. We’ve got four new designs, new colors for current designs and two cool tote-bags, one featuring the graphic above. Come see us and all our great new products at the Renegade Craft Fair (at McCarren Park, 12th and Bedford in Brooklyn, NY), just 5 short blocks north of the Bedford L stop. There are going to be over 150 modern crafters selling their wares this weekend (both Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th). Come see us at booth #26. Stefanie Chambers will also be at the craft fair, for all of you unable to make it to the show check out her site.
Above is a map of the fair grounds with Strongy and MoonblooD pointed out (click to enlarge), a printable file with everyone else is available here.

Cozy flea market find.
Silhouettes…
Thursday, April 6th, 2006
Silhouettes are trending at the moment; I highly recommend doing some DIY projects with a quick snapshot and some construction paper. Or check out the master of sihouettes, Kara Walker(as piece shown below). She is having an exhibit coming up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art soon (starting March 31st).
What etsy is all about
Thursday, February 23rd, 2006
Some of you may already be familiar with Etsy. It’s a relatively new website where craftsters from all over the world sell their handmade crafts. It seems that it’s easy to get started and there are already loads of cute and interesting things for sale. There are ton’s of people selling handspun yarns; dolls from japan and china. Check it out, it’s a whole lot of addictive fun. You can browse by the location of the person, by color (as shown above) or travel back in time seeing when things were posted. For the whole site they’re using a fun new approach to website functionality called AJAX, sorta like google maps, which makes it all the more enjoyable to use. I also find almost everything extremely reasonable priced. Here are two doll makers that I really liked.
Two of Hearts…
Saturday, February 4th, 2006
Here is a cute idea for a quick Valentine’s Day gift. You can give a handful of little hearts; string them to be a bracelet, or beef up your wrapping job on the perfect gift by plopping a heart on top. I haven’t worked out the pattern yet, but it seems that all it takes is some keen double crocheting skills and a little hand stitching for the heart’s facial expressions. And with the presence of red on the runways, this gift is very trend appropriate.
Skull Scarf

Here’s a link for a knitting pattern that I think I’ll try tomorrow. This ‘model’ used is not really the best choice for the piece, but the concept is pretty good. The pattern is written for handknitting but I’m going to try it on my knitting machine, I’ll keep you posted on how it turns out!
