Southwest Flair A-Fair
Fine Art & Unique Crafts from over 170 Artisans
Benefiting Big Brothers Big Sister of Tucson
Oct 30- Nov 1
Friday was freezing! Started off at 32 degrees which is pretty darn cold for Tucson! But, as the day went on the weather turned beautiful. There were over 170 artisans and food vendors. Lots of great artwork.
Sat was much busier and the weather warmed up to the proper Tucson temperature. Our neighbor artists were so wonderful and gave us lots of tips for showing. We were considered the “newbies” so they all took care of us.
Our new booth. Got posters and added red drapery for a festive look
Ted from Spooned was across from me and made beautiful handmade wooden salad utensils. They were made from recycled wood from all over the world and he encouraged people to touch them which was very tempting since they were sooooo silky smooth.
Our neighbors to the left ( I didn’t catch their company name) made lovely pottery and sell all over the southwest. They had wonderful little bowls that they would put out throughout the day and we’d hear a mad rush of clinking as the crowds would roll in to purchase 3 for $9. What a deal!
Across the way was Pricilla’s work. If you’ve been out and about in Tucson, you’ve seen her stuff. Really bright colors. Her trademark is her funky lady painted on the top of a scale. I didn’t get pics, but you can find her work at Bohemia gallery.
Down the way was Emma of Emma Josephine Designs. She was just a doll and made very unique jewelry. Here are a few pics. Unfortunately I didn’t do a good job taking pics. I’ll do better at the next show so you can see all of the wonderful art being shown!
Next show is this weekend at La Encantada. We’ll be right before the MAC store on the second floor.
