Primitive Crafts
Comments (12)Sweets i would love to get the delphi site link as well. I do love prim. Im a painter mainly wood but I dabble in other surfaces. I have made some prim stuff for friends and a few pieces for myself. Im holding off Until the summer to make more. We are moving in about 3 weeks so I dont want to start. Im afraid I wont be able to stop :0)...See MoreCrafters Needed For Craft Show
Comments (11)Thanks, Christopherh. I had already posted on Craftlister, but didn't realize I should also post on Eventlister. Their site seems pretty thorough, and I'm impressed! I've even gotten a couple requests for apps from there. Didn't know about the promoters in Holly. Don't live close to them; live near Lake Huron. If you don't mind, would you please send me their name. Maybe they wouldn't mind giving some advice? Thanks!...See MoreWent to a 250 booth craft show today.......Did I buy anything???
Comments (7)Stacie, how on earth did you control yourself and not buy "something" at all? I could never have done that. Thanks for the info on what crafters were selling. I went to a biggie craft show in my town last weekend and it's just not the same anymore. It used to be super huge with so many crafters doing different homemade things. This year and last, it was jewelry, jewelry and more jewelry. I'm not saying jewelry is not a craft but most of it was not homemade. I did buy some homemade gingerbread felt ornaments I will use in decorative Xmas boxes and a snowman one. And two homemade felt mittens with snowmen in them and some greenery. Very reasonably priced is the name of the game when I buy at the shows. Some crafters go way overboard in their prices. I love country decorating and the one crafter who had homemade primitive country crafts, well, some of it was very sloppily done and not worth the money. I think she could have done a better painting job. Don't get me wrong, some items were fantastic but for what it was, way too high priced (i.e. for an old board and some paint on it with a simple saying). I look for things I can't make myself or things I don't do for crafts. I was thinking of having a table next year and doing a lot of things I didn't see there this year - and keep the prices within reason my first setup and see how I do. Again, thanks for the info, I need to know this kind of stuff. Sal...See MorePrimitive Annie Book Hanger
Comments (8)allprimitive, Try using tissue paper! Trace the item onto the tissue paper and then lay it where you want it. Go over your trace marks with a Sharpie. It will bleed through enough to give you a light outline to go from. I do this from time to time...usually when I already made something and like how it looks and want to do it the same way again. Like I did a crow the other week on a bowl and wanted to use the same crow on a sign for my grandparents. Leslie...See MoreCheri_C
