Kalakas Artisan Swap Meet & Sale

CultGrrrl Creations will be participating in the Kalakas Artisans Swap Meet & Sale [Tlaquepaque Shopping Center / 704 Telephone Rd / Houston, TX] on Saturday, October 22, 2011 from Noon to 8 PM.  There will be works from my good buddies at En.Art and Spookyville Bootique as well as countless others!

“Kalakas is a hidden treasure in the East End of Houston. They specialize in Dia De Los Muertos art, housewares and wearables. A lot of their inventory is imported from Oaxaca! They also carry the Sourpuss brand and tons of punk/metal goodies from jewelry, purses, t-shirts, dresses to towels, shower curtains etc! It’s a must see!

Come support independent vendors and buy original hand made products!”

I am very excited to be a part of this market and hope to meet a lot of new people!  RSVP on Facebook at this location for reminders of the event!

Busy As A Bee

Although it may seem that I’ve been slacking a bit,  I’ve actually been keeping myself busy as a bee.  I’ve been working hard on my inventory of Calaveras, Bloodshot Eyeballs, and a couple of commission items.  Not to mention, I didn’t want to bore everyone here with a ton of picture of the same items.

As promised, here is a picture of my CultGrrrl Creations packaging

It was actually a little harder to get a good picture with the plastic than I thought but I think this does it justice…hopefully   Btw, more pictures of the newer Calaveras can be seen in the gallery.

I hope to have a few more pictures of NEW items soon!  I am finally working on the Zombie Elephant today so that should be finished and photographed soon.  I should also have a new Monkey to debut within the coming weeks as well.

Apologies

I just wanted to apologize for leaving anyone waiting to see the new CGC packaging hanging.  I did get the bag headers on Friday afternoon and got super busy being a domestic goddess (IE. cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc…)  I did take pictures on Saturday morning but then the hubby asked if I wanted to go shopping…well what you think happened? Craft store here I come lol  Of course posting the pictures was put off until Sunday because I had a grrrls night out with the BFF that night.  Unfortunately, I got a killer head cold on Sunday and have been out of commission until today.  I should have a few pictures posted this evening.

The packaging came out okay…not as close to the color as I wanted, but that can be adjusted very easily the next round.  I do have few other minor adjustments that will be made but I am happy with the overall look.

On the amigurumi front, I have come up with a new look for the eyes of my Calavera / Sugar Skull ornaments.  I will be packaging these in a 3 pack for the upcoming holi-daze.  These are going to look great on Halloween & dark themed X-mas trees.  I actually had to keep one for myself for the rear view mirror of my car.

Mind you, this picture doesn’t have the new “eyes” but some roses I found at the craft store.  I will have pics posted of a full set with the news eyes soon…I promise

Calavera – Second Attempt

So I tried again and I am very happy with this one, if I may say so myself

I’m sure if I keep at it, the next few may have even more embellishments, but we’ll see how that goes.  Btw, more pics can be seen in the gallery.
