When I moved to Ann Arbor 6 months ago, I was looking for an artist/crafty community I can join and be part of. I discovered MICE, which stands for Michigan Indie Crafters of Etsy, and from there I was able to meet alot of wonderful crafty people in the area.
And now, there is a creative space opening up, called Blue House Ann Arbor, which sits right across the street from The Big House (and for those of you who don't know, its the University of Michigan stadium.) It is a crafty place where there are workshops and events, work from local artists, and they are celebrating their opening this weekend with a show, Saturday March 20th, from 11-5pm.
I will be there at the show with some of my art prints and goodies. I can't wait to see the space, and please come by if you are in the area.

Last night, I played around with making a Chickengirl Design banner using circle punches. I wanted to make one since I'm participating in two craft shows, one coming up this Saturday at Blue House Ann Arbor, and the Flint Handmade Spring Market show in May. More info coming up!

My modest table display at a craft fair this past Saturday! I'm so glad I did the show; the best part was meeting many local artists and chat with fellow vendors. I'm slowly but surely finding my way in this new town of mine.
With the new year coming, I've been having many "Eureka!" moments in terms of what kind of direction I want to take my work for the new year. More on that later. Hope everyone is surviving in the meanwhile...I feel like I'm always super busy with work right before the holidays!

With a light dusting of snow this morning in my new town, a 2ft Christmas tree lit, I did a little crafting- making gift tags. I bought one of these craft punch- yikes...so much fun...a little addicting! And I'm a sucker for red ribbons with little stitchings on them. The penguin and the bear might look familiar, I just took it from some pre-existing art. Pretty easy.
And...I'm doing a local craft show this Saturday, 12/12! Its The Craft Circus Holiday Show. 119 E Liberty, Ann Arbor, from 4-9 pm. Hope to meet some local artists and new people there. I'll be bringing my monster cards and some books. Wish me luck!
How cool! With my move I also sought out local artists, and found some great groups to connect with. The midwest is home to some awesome creatives! (I just became a CAW girl! -'Creative Arts of Women')
It's true--seek and ye shall find! :)
That's really great, Jannie. I am so glad you are finding 'your peeps' in Ann Arbor! Way to go. Good luck with the show and Conratulations!!

到處逛逛~~來繞繞留個言囉~~~~ .........................................
