Shamelessly ripped from Crafty Wonderland’s website:

The Crafty Wonderland Holiday Art + Craft Market features over 200 makers selling amazing handmade goods in a 60,000 sq. foot hall at the Convention Center! Support local artists + makers and buy one-of-a-kind gifts for everyone on your list – including yourself!

Same Awesome Event! New Safety Protocols!

This year we need to do things a little differently in order to hold our event as safely as possible! The health and safety of our vendors and shoppers comes first!

In an effort to control the crowds, we are doing timed admission throughout the day on both Saturday and Sunday in addition to the usual ticketed Friday Night Pre-Show Party. So everyone attending the event will need a ticket (with the exception of kids 5 and under)! We encourage you to purchase tickets ahead of time as we expect them to sell out and tickets will not be available at the doors. We have kept our event free to attend for 15 years but this year we need to charge a small fee in order to cover the costs involved with all the safety protocols required. Thank you for understanding and supporting us and our hundreds of artists! We are so excited to be back!

A one-day, outdoor maker’s market with a curated line-up of small business and handmade goods - plus food trucks! This is happening right in the heart of downtown Bothell by the City Hall Plaza. Find out more here: Bothell Makers Market Information

It’s back! Come join me and other local makers at the first market since February 2020!

It’s been a minute since I’ve been at the Tractor Tavern (January 2020, I think), so I’m looking forward to going back to the place where I started this vending stuff in earnest.

This is my first time participating in a multiple day festival, and I’m looking forward to it.

Here’s some information regarding the Kirkland Summerfest from their website - more information as it becomes available:

Kirkland Summerfest returns to the picturesque shores of Lake Washington. This three-day tour de force boasts a KidZone, lively night market, musical performances, outdoor entertainment, purveyors of fine foods, local beers and wines, and interactive activities for all ages.

Kirkland Summerfest supports many other local nonprofits including Chump Change Foundation and the Kirkland Downtown Association

I’ll be bending with Renton Urban Market on both Saturday 6/26 and Sunday 6/27 from 2-7 p.m. at the Dock and Drink at the Hyatt Regency.

As the title suggests, this is a low-key pop-up hosted by Stockist Goods in Tacoma, WA. This will be my first time showing my art in Tacoma, so I’m looking forward to having fresh eyes on my art! I’ll be there with a few other makers, so it’s going to be a fun to-do!

Not only is the 19th the day before Father’s Day (good opportunity to get a last-minute gift, eh?), but it’s also Juneteenth. Because of this (and a multitude of other reasons) 10% of my sales will be donated to the Tacoma Urban League to support their ongoing initiatives - specifically the family programing.

I’ve been looking forward to the summer months to finally get back out and do some tabling events! I enjoyed the first event a good deal, and I’ll be participating in the 2nd round as well (fingers crossed King County will allow it).

From the PNA website:

This neighborhood event is an opportunity for artists, crafters, and makers to display their wares for gazing and purchase, and a chance for appreciators to collect some new art, jewelry, or other handmade treasures.

Using a Google map as your guide, take a stroll or drive around PhinneyWood and visit yards on Saturday, June 12 from 12-4 (masks and 6-feet physical distancing required). Contactless payment is highly encouraged, so get your PayPal and Venmo accounts ready!

Couldn’t we all use something new to look at on our walls right about now? Or deserve to treat ourselves to a beautiful new handbag or some stunning pottery?

Using the Google map as your guide, take a stroll or drive around PhinneyWood and visit yards on Sunday, August 30 from 12-4 (masks and 6-feet physical distancing required). Map will be posted before the event.

Artist Reception Thur, Oct. 10th 5-9pm during Capitol Hill Art Walk
My piece “UltraViolet” will be on display!
This exhibit, featuring artists from around the globe, will focus on endangered species of moths and butterflies in North America, Canada and Mexico. The aim is to bring more awareness to this growing list and to what efforts are being made towards recovery and conservation. A percentage of proceeds from sales will be donated to the Xerces Society:
”The Xerces Society collaborates with scientists, land managers, and conservationists to raise awareness about the plight of invertebrates and to gain protection for the most vulnerable species before they decline to a level at which recovery is impossible. Destruction of habitat, introduced species, and pesticides are all leading to the loss of invertebrate species.”

Come one come all to the 8th Annual Art Walk! Browse the artist booths, get your face painted, munch on cotton candy or snow cones and so much more.

This year's art walk will feature a live music stage with three bands, an inflatable slide, kids' art activities and a creative dance class for kids of all ages in Leschi Park! 

Come for the day and have a snack or meal at Meet the Moon, Blu Water Bistro, Starbucks or Leschi Mart. There's free off street parking, too.

My piece “Takin’ Honeysuckle Sips” featuring a white-lined sphinx moth with honeysuckle was accepted into the Pre-Farm to Table: a Bee’s work show, featuring pollinators which assist in food production!

From the Oregon State University webpage:

The Giustina Gallery at The LaSells Stewart Center presents Pre-Farm to Table: a Bee's Work. The exhibit speaks to the ecology of the farmer's helpers including bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other such pollinators. This exhibit shows in conjunction with "As the Bee Sees: A Pollinator’s Perspective" by Susan Curington.

Opening Reception is September 6 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Please join us for two pre-reception talks on September 6:

• 4:30 p.m. | “Bees – biology, threats and support” given by Dr. Priyadarshini Chakrabarti Basu. Dr. Priyadarshini Chakrabarti Basu is a Research Associate at the Honey Bee Lab, Oregon State University, headed by Dr. Ramesh Sagili. Priya’s chief focus lies in improving bee health by understanding bee nutrition, deciphering the impacts of pesticides on pollinators and investigating the synergistic detrimental impacts of other stressors (such as pests and pathogens) on honey bees. Priya employs various research techniques such as molecular ecology, neuroethology, insect physiology, ecotoxicology, mass spectrometry and apicultural practices to address her current research questions. View Dr. Basu's biography.

• 5:00 p.m. | "As the Bee Sees; An Artist's Perspective" given by Susan Curington. Susan will explore our uniquely human ability to shift our perspective through imagination and empathy. She'll share about the current perils facing the bees, and therefore much of our food source. She'll share how she has learned from the bees how community can be sustaining, and has found resilience through creativity and small daily actions. View Susan Curington's biography.
