A small group of etsy sellers, including myself, decided to go ahead and arrange a fair in Oxford... for artists and crafters, to sell items made by their own hands... a fair where the price reflects the costs involved and which supports independent artists in their own right.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://handmadeoxford.blogspot.com/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ8aqZ7zfpM/SN-4k3fsAYI/AAAAAAAAAP4/6q23lHXOso4/s400/handmade+ad.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251118634048946562" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><br /></p><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Our first task was to find a location. </span><a style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;" href="http://www.venues.org.uk/venues/oxford_town_hall#map">Oxford Town Hall</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> was available for just 1 weekend date this side of Christmas – November the 9</span><sup style="font-family: arial;">th</sup><span style="font-family:arial;"> – we snapped it up!</span><br /><br /></span><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ8aqZ7zfpM/SN-07eIoOrI/AAAAAAAAAPo/l7wo6YKjioQ/s1600-h/oxford+town+hall2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ8aqZ7zfpM/SN-07eIoOrI/AAAAAAAAAPo/l7wo6YKjioQ/s320/oxford+town+hall2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251114624331823794" border="0" /></a>The Town Hall, built in 1893, has stunning architecture and beautiful decor making it the perfect setting for us to sell our wares. The Hall is in a very central location, just about 50 metres from the main shopping area (<a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.venues.org.uk/venues/oxford_town_hall#map">map</a>). Sue, who takes the bookings, has been very helpful (and patient) – giving me suggestions about places to advertise as well as an idea of a floor plan for 60 tables.<br /></p><span style="font-size:100%;"></span><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ8aqZ7zfpM/SN-07CgJMcI/AAAAAAAAAPg/MlfhrYjeRvE/s1600-h/oxford+town+hall.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ8aqZ7zfpM/SN-07CgJMcI/AAAAAAAAAPg/MlfhrYjeRvE/s320/oxford+town+hall.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251114616914260418" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Having booked the space we realised the enormity of the task in front of us – would we be able to find 60 people to take stalls? Would we be able to get a decent mix of crafts? The answer in both cases is yes. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">This week I took the booking for the last remaining table... an enormous relief. We advertised for sellers anywhere that was free. Forums, chat rooms, and as many postings on websites as we could manage! Many of these will remain until the event itself and will serve to direct visitors too.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">As for the mix. Its amazing. We have a great variety of jewellery; classic, chunky, retro, funky; as well as bags (both fabric and leather) and toys, scarves and clothing... Stained and fused glass, a stonemason as well as a potter and several painters – not to mention handmade chocolates and delicious looking cupcakes and cookies! </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">We had an unprecedented response to our request for <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://handmadeoxford.blogspot.com/2008/09/promotional-bags-update.html">promotional items</a> – I believe that we're well on our way to 2000 items with more arriving every day. These will be popped into bags and handed out, gratis, to visitors on the day helping them to choose to buy handmade this Christmas.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">And so, with just 6 weeks until the "<a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://handmadeoxford.blogspot.com/">handm@de</a>" Craft Fair takes place, the next step is advertising!

It's a nice way to start an art collection and perfect if you don't have lots of room to hang art on your walls.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ8aqZ7zfpM/SLbCpwvbacI/AAAAAAAAAJk/ew0wEziJqYI/s1600-h/il_fullxfull.21355723.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ8aqZ7zfpM/SLbCpwvbacI/AAAAAAAAAJk/ew0wEziJqYI/s200/il_fullxfull.21355723.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239589239206406594" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Snow Leopard Eye Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip</span><br /></div><br />There are so many ways a person can make an ACEO and as long as it is 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches there are no rules as to what they are made of.

I sell original works so my ACEOs are all one-of-a-kind paintings too!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Why did you decide to make ACEOs?</span><br />I resisted ACEOs for quite a while but then did some as an experiment with the ACEO and 'painting a day' movements on eBay. While they weren't big sellers I decided I really enjoyed making them in order to explore colour combinations. So for me personally, they've actually become quite an integral part of my studio practice - they are small studies done in the process of preparing for my larger gallery work.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Favorite ACEO that you have made?</span><br />My very favourite ACEO has always been this one, with very dark wispy waves against a pale pink sky.<br /></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCgCedK6PI/AAAAAAAAB1M/wrz_xBvRhkU/s1600-h/get_convo_image.php.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCgCedK6PI/AAAAAAAAB1M/wrz_xBvRhkU/s200/get_convo_image.php.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237862331027482866" border="0" /></a><span aiotitle="")" style="font-weight: bold;"><br />2) </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5429188">Grooveycrafts</a> makes great ACEOs that use embellishments to make the cards 3D.

I then select which image I'm going to use and work around that... so it could be buttons, ribbons, distress ink, rubber stamps, brads, paper etc.... so as you can see I use a variety of material. It all depends on the image and what inspiration I get from it.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Favourite ACEO that you have made? </span><br />That is quite hard to choose but I'm choosing this one to show you since it fit in well with Autumn coming up :).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCgrzUOzKI/AAAAAAAAB1U/jSD0LasbjZE/s1600-h/1466978901_17ef1f9380_b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCgrzUOzKI/AAAAAAAAB1U/jSD0LasbjZE/s200/1466978901_17ef1f9380_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237863041001770146" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCgsfMUr5I/AAAAAAAAB1c/TJ8gZSCZcXg/s1600-h/1467838892_8d2294682b_b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCgsfMUr5I/AAAAAAAAB1c/TJ8gZSCZcXg/s200/1467838892_8d2294682b_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237863052779761554" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Any advice to people wanting to start working small?</span><br />If you're just testing the water to see if ACEOs are for you I wouldn't recommend going out and buying all the supplies you feel you need as I can tell you it is so easy to do as you feel you need everything and everything looks great.<br /><br />I would recommended buying a pack of playing cards, they only cost about 50p a pack and are the right size for ACEOs. In places like Tescos, Morrisons etc... they have packs of small cut paper at about A6 size with 5 or 6 varieties of colours, designs etc..., you should get quite a few ACEOs using those papers. The other thing you can use is newspapers and magazines for the writing but be careful as some let ink off.<br /><br />Then, onto Embellishment, its now time to go through your wardrobe... yes I sound crazy I know! See what you really don't want anymore, what your partner doesn't need or your kids have grown out of and cut the buttons, ribbons, flowers etc off and work with those. For images you can get some very nice ones off Etsy from people who will e-mail you them. I haven't bought from anyone yet to be able to recommended any one.<br /><br />Now you're ready to start creating. For sticking down items I use double sided tape, pritt stick (pritt stick and uhu glue sticks are the best for sticking) and glue dots. If you decide that ACEOs are for you then you can splash out on supplies but if you decide they aren't for you, you won't have spent more then £10 so you don't need to worry.</p><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3) </span><span style=""><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5851789">nuvonova</a> </span><span style="">makes ACEO albums that she can customise for you, and some gorgeous ACEOs to put in them.</span><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCh_TIV0iI/AAAAAAAAB1s/PqxECOcZgIo/s1600-h/il_fullxfull.27039106.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCh_TIV0iI/AAAAAAAAB1s/PqxECOcZgIo/s200/il_fullxfull.27039106.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237864475470975522" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">For Sale <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11845149">here</a> (<span style=""><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5851789">nuvonova</a>)</span></p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style=""><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">What materials do yo use to create your ACEOs and books?</span><br />I like to use silver pearlescent card as the front and back cover for the album, and grey, black or white (or all together) as the body of the book... this is so that the book acts like a blank wall as if you were in a gallery, and the ACEO's are like the paintings! The book is bound with satin ribbon and the front cover has a custom title. I name mine 'The Little Book of Art'. I have my ACEOs professionally printed onto archival paper so they last many many years and then I mount them onto pearlescent card to make them nice and sturdy!</span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style=""><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Why did you decide to make ACEOs and your albums?</span><br />I loved the concept when I first found out about it and as I was already in the Art/Design/Fashion field, I had a lot of my own illustrations that I wanted to turn into mini pieces of art... and for people to hopefully buy them, which they do, so yay! Not only did I make ACEOs, but I bought them too, like crazy. I like to have empty walls and I get bored very quickly, so keeping them in albums makes them fresh to my eyes each time I look at them... so I made my own to store them in as I didn't like the typical 3x3 plastic slots you get to put in folders as it looked too cluttered.</span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style=""><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCiwjxbBnI/AAAAAAAAB10/GDmmPC--w1w/s1600-h/il_fullxfull.26154597.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beQ1FhxNgyc/SLCiwjxbBnI/AAAAAAAAB10/GDmmPC--w1w/s200/il_fullxfull.26154597.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237865321751840370" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">For Sale <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11579574">here</a></span><br /></div><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style=""><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Favorite ACEO that you have made? </span><br />My favourite fashion illustration that I turned into an ACEO is 'Twilight IV'. It's one of my most favourite drawings which I have turned into my own little mascot and actually, the original is in my fashion portfolio and every time I go on fashion job interviews, that one always gets the 'Oohs'.</span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span style="">*************<br /></span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So great advice. I encourage everyone to try doing a few ACEOs of their own, but be aware that they can become addicting to make. Of course you could just buy from the lovely people here and support the artists.

She fits her making of beautiful things in around a full time job as a project manager for an international company, and is also about to start the fifth and final year of a part-time degree – Busy Lady!<br /><br />Over to Christine…<br /><br /><strong><em>So, What do you make & where can we buy it? </em></strong><br />I make screen printed (gocco) stationery and sell it here: <a href="http://paperandcloth.etsy.com/">http://paperandcloth.etsy.com/</a> and here: <a href="http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/paperandcloth">http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/paperandcloth</a><br /><br /><strong><em>How long have you been making things, & how did it all start</em>?</strong><br />I started making "stuff" at a young age but didn't do it for years until I took up card making a few years ago. Now I try a bit of everything but concentrate on the stationery mainly.<br /><br /><strong><em>Set the scene for us - where do you do your making</em>?</strong><br />Well I have just got a lovely new craft room/study/spare room with a custom made desk (thank you lovely man).<br /><br /><strong><em>How much of your time do you spend making beautiful things</em>?</strong><br />As much as possible but I have to fit in the degree, house stuff, fiancé and friends occasionally ;)<br /><br /><strong><em>Is there a craft or technique that makes you think "oooh, I wish I could do that!</em>"</strong><br />Throwing a pot on a wheel. I tried it a few times and quickly went back to pinch pots!<br /><br /><strong><em>What's been your proudest crafty achievment to date</em>?</strong><br />My very first sale. It was amazing to think that someone else actually wanted to buy something I'd made.<br />I think this may be overtaken by my current project though- the <a href="http://papercloth.blogspot.com/2008/08/new-stuff-fun-project.html">Fab Flower Collaboration</a>, once I get the flowers all together it's going to be pretty spectacular (I hope).<br /><br /><strong><em>What's your favourite item you currently have for sale</em>?</strong><br />This set: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13984632">http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13984632</a>, I adore pink so I had to do a pink set of cards!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7ynkxSfGOfw/SLHWgJTexqI/AAAAAAAAACw/V9e_zb6muCI/s1600-h/il_430xN_33960826.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7ynkxSfGOfw/SLHWgJTexqI/AAAAAAAAACw/V9e_zb6muCI/s320/il_430xN_33960826.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238203689350383266" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong><em>Describe your work in three words</em>…</strong><br />Simple, colourful & fun<br /><br /><strong><em>Pick three materials you couldn't live without</em>…</strong><br />Card, my gocco and my rounded corner cutter!<br /><br />.........................................................................<br /><br /><strong><em>Sensible stuff out of the way, Christine steps up to the challenge of the quick fire round – the real burning questions, LOL!</em></strong><br /><br />- Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt? Johnny<br />- Last thing you spent money on? food from Tesco!<br />- Peanut Butter - Crunchy or Smooth? Smooth<br />- Last movie you saw? Juno<br />- Text messages or emails? email<br />- Tea or Coffee? coffee<br />- Dream holiday destination if money is no object? Australia<br /><br /><em><strong>Lastly, Christine, is there any message you'd like to leave for our blog readers?</strong></em><br />I've already mentioned this but I'd love it if everyone could contribute a flower to my Fab Flower Collaboration Project (link as above).<br /><br />.........................................................................<br /><br />If you haven’t already, go click on the link to Christine’s project – it’s a fantastic idea, and I for one plan on sending a pretty flower of some sort to be included. (Adds to ever-increasing to-do list!!)<br /><br />And while you’re at it, have a peek at <a href="http://paperandcloth.etsy.com/">Christine’s shop</a>!<br />Her cards are absolutely beautiful, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13172371">this</a> set:<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7ynkxSfGOfw/SLHVgKLqr5I/AAAAAAAAACo/qZmxB_gerTA/s1600-h/christine.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7ynkxSfGOfw/SLHVgKLqr5I/AAAAAAAAACo/qZmxB_gerTA/s320/christine.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238202590074417042" border="0" /></a>is definitely on my own wishlist – perfect for that note you’ve been meaning to send forever but keep forgetting… you know the one I mean! Yes, email is all well and good, but a note from a friend in <em>the post </em> is one of life’s simplest pleasures – and what better motivation to send one than to show off your beautiful new stationery!<br /><br />Many thanks to Christine for her time, and of course her permission to use her beautiful images.<br /><br />Look out for another interview with someone wonderful soon!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853254049475613010.post-39482098713275625662008-08-21T11:14:00.011+01:002008-09-02T11:52:04.023+01:00Design Challenge Themes for September and October!To refresh our collective minds (or to clear the cobwebs from mine!) here's a quick recap explanation of the monthly design challenges:<br /><br />Every month a new design challenge is set with a specific theme for the month.

The one that allowed us to take a pile of random materials or ideas and turn them into something new. These nascent sketches, collages, glueings and shiny bits of tin foil were hung proudly on the refrigerator door, spurring us on to what we could do NEXT time. How much <b style="">better</b> we could make them. How much <b style="">neater</b>. How much <b style="">shinier</b>.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ8aqZ7zfpM/SKmHseBwGvI/AAAAAAAAAJE/ClNlvCBYVZk/s1600-h/P1010006.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 313px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ8aqZ7zfpM/SKmHseBwGvI/AAAAAAAAAJE/ClNlvCBYVZk/s400/P1010006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235865239839316722" border="0" /></a><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>As adults, the world can often get in the way of creative impulses. We rarely have time to just sit down and get an idea onto paper, onto fabric, onto metal. It’s not in our daily schedule. “<b style=""><i style="">8 am</i></b><i style="">- Wake up the kids. <b style="">8.30 am</b>- take a shower. <b style="">9 am</b>- breakfast</i>.” It isn’t often that we get to pencil in, “<b style=""><i style="">10 am</i></b><i style="">- MAKE</i>.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The unique thing about the UK Street Team is that we ARE the people who manage to sweep a small, clear space in the cluttered kitchen floor of our lives to sit down and indulge in our imaginative impulses. To make that next idea better. Neater. Shinier. We are a colourful rag bag of creators, designers, artists and makers who have banded together to make the craft scene in the <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> a little more visible. To let consumers know that yes, they DO have a choice when it comes to the things they buy. To support each other in our efforts. And, just occasionally talk about cake.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Some of us craft for a livelihood. Others do it as a hobby. But we’re all governed by the same impulse for innovation. An impulse that’s lead us to revamp our team and start afresh in order to more efficiently share our unique gifts with each other and the public at large. We all want to donate our time and efforts into spreading the gospel of the <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> craft scene, chapter and verse.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>In the coming months, watch for interviews, competitions, show dates and goodies from our happy little collective. We’ll be hanging our wares on the giant refrigerator door of cyberspace. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>We hope you like what you’ll see and come back often.</p><p class="MsoNormal">by <a

Street Team Membership ReviewTomorrow evening membership review surveys (along with new membership guidelines) will be circulated to everyone who's name is on the Etsy UK Street Team profile page. Members then have until midnight on Friday 15 August to respond.<br /><br />In the meantime all members have been removed from the UK Street Team flickr group so that we can make sure that we determine who is in the team before anything else rolls on. After survey responses have been reviewed by the membership committee invitations will be sent out to re-join the Street Team flickr group.<br /><br />Sorry about the drastic measures but it is to try and keep things simple and to follow a logical order.<br /><a href="http://KoolKoookyKreatures.etsy.com"><br />KoolKoookyKreatures</a><br /><a href="http://hippyofdoom.etsy.com">Hippyofdoom</a><br /><a href="http://Sakurajewellery.etsy.com">Sakurajewellery</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853254049475613010.post-16832113997683164792008-08-05T10:13:00.006+01:002008-12-11T04:06:10.028+00:00UK Etsy July Challenge by Kool Kooky Kreatures<span style="font-size:100%;">Well, another month and another brilliant set of entries for the UK Etsy Challenge!
