Here's a close up of a Gadget Cozy commissioned for a Very Famous Person. I hope it gets there in time! (Tracking tells me it left the United States on November 28, so I'm thinking it should be there soon!). BTW, Shawn: there is more than one to choose from in the package.
See the rest of it here.
Rich has given me some good advice -- I should set up an Etsy shop.
It's perverse the way I don't want to do things when they are "popular." Would I have rejected the woman's movement when it became one because it was "trendy"? Will I go back to using a PC if Macs ever get a sizable market share because "everyone has one"? Would I reject germ theory and hand washing because "everyone is doing it"? Why should I feel funny about being a craftster when there are so many cool and admirable people in the scene?
It's true that I don't embrace everything about the DIY movement - for one thing, I believe in the sensibility of economies of scale a great deal more than many others.
But I love much of the output without complication or hesitation, and I should have put Crafty Wonderland and the Portland Saturday Market on my list of gift ideas, especially Terry Moholt's work (Terry, Terry, Terry -- we need to get you a better website!) -- $4 each for beautiful handmade holiday cards is another stunningly good deal -- each one suitable for framing and idolizing, as Terry would say!
