We just finished up Crafty Wonderland‘s Super Colossal Spring Show at the Oregon Convention Center. We had a great time and got to talk to a lot of our fellow crafters that we really only get to re-connect with during show times. We’re always amazed at the wonderful talent that resides here in Stumptown. One of the best things about being part of this scene for a couple years now, and getting to know many of the talented artists, is that we all seem to get better and better at what we do each year. That constantly growing and evolving skill set and expertise is great to watch and to be a part of. Everyone is so dedicated to their respective areas, it’s just awesome.

A definite high point of the show was that we did our first ever radio interview. It was only about five minutes long, but we got to talk about what it’s like to be doll makers on a daily basis, our thoughts about art and a bit about our plush making process. The interview was for the weekly show Convention Crashers on pdx.fm and airs today at 3p.m. After that, the show will be available in podcast form on the iTunes store.

As always Crafty was great (thank you Cathy and Tori), and we are eagerly looking forward to their Super Colossal Holiday show in December. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us. And a huge thanks to Jolby for their ongoing support of what we do and who we are.
