Art vs. Craft 2009
Second year heading down to Art vs. Craft held at the Humphrey Masonic Center.
The space is tight, especially as more people filter into the building. A lot of the same sellers as last year, a lot of super crafty items (cutsey birds, acorns, twigs, cupcakes, flowers, etc), all of which tend to make my head go blank and unable to differentiate between booths. Some of my favorites this year:
Awcward Attire by Andrew Westpfahl Chapman::::

Tees, Mugs, Totes, and Sweatshirts all on brilliant white. Being prone to destroying white things on accident, I suppressed the urge to buy an architecture shirt (they do not seem to be on the website at this time). I did buy a mug, the only thing I bought. Images are collaged condo/apartment/modern buildings next to Milwaukee style houses. Super clean and fresh compared to most other crafty crafts.

Loved the light shades, again lots of white and clean pretty smooth items. Wall clocks were unique and I secretly wanted one. Checking out her etsy shop, I’d love a version of her illuminated memo box. Alchemy!

Loved her belts and dresses. Simple and well made. Plus her photoshoots look whimsy filled!
Dores by Stephanie Renee::::

Subtle and simple jewelry, some great wood pieces and a super tiny little locket.
