Where's Wino?!?

LOL, well, Wino has been very busy as of late and didn't blog for a bit. Now I'm determined to blog at least once a week!


Lately what's been taking up my time is working with other ShowMe Etsy artists on opening a shop in Crestwood Court, in the Art Space the Regional Arts Commission has established with the Mall owners. It will be call Show Me Handmade! We will be opening February 5th. Check it out: http://www.showmehandmade.com/


More pictures to come as we are moving in some of our displays tonight then Saturday is the main move, at least for me. Each artist will have an area to display their items for sale, with some room for consignment artists. If you are a local artist and interested in consignment, please check the site for info on how to apply. We will be making final decisions very soon!

What to do...

I've been trying to sell this clock on Etsy and at craft shows.

It was fun to make, especially while staining it in the port wine that I was drinking at the same time...hehe. So anyway I've been toying with this and was curious of what you all would think if I added this to the clock. (pic is not the greatest, as I took it a bit quickly)

I would paint the letters with a wine color acrylic paint, or maybe a black. Should I add the saying or leave it blank. I don't want to put numbers on it... Thoughts?

btw, it is a working clock...lol

Slumped Wine Bottles

yay! I had my wine bottles slumped and just got them back today. Now I can decorate them a bit, add the "wino" touch, then include a cheese spreader to each and sell them as cheese trays. I really how the Little Black Dress bottle turned out!

ShowMe Etsy Street Team Trunk Show!

The ShowMe Etsy Street Team is having a fabulous trunk show in St. Louis on October 16th at SqWire's Annex. Please stop by for some great handmade items to purchase, either for yourself or the upcoming holiday season!

New idea

So another Etsian in our Team gave me this cute pendant that was a cluster of grapes. I fell in love with it and wear it quite often. She was kind to send me the link, and I ordered 7 different colors of the grape clusters made of cubic zirconia beads. So I was racking my brain to make these into something The Crafty Wino would sell. They came on a black rope, but I wanted to add my Wino touch to it...

After hunting at several stores, here is what I came up with!
I really like it. The spiraling vines add a fun dimension to the necklace. The memory wire has a strong magnetic clasp and is 18" in length. Now to figure out price~~~
