Did you know Maribel Made is now based in Brooklyn, NY? It’s only been a little over one week since I left Seattle, but I can tell I’m really going to enjoy living here for the next three months. There are so many things I already love about New York and one of them is the fact that I’m really close to Etsy, which hosts a weekly craft night every Monday at their Etsy Labs headquarters in Brooklyn.

Earlier this week I attended my very first session: Stenciled Cards. There was  a demonstration by Ed Roth using stencils from his new Stencil 101 Stationery Kit, which I used to make a couple of greeting cards. I made a Thank You card and a Birthday Card for my soon-to-be birthday boy. I can’t wait to go to next week’s Reversible Totebag class.

I’m really happy I’ll have more crafty projects to share with you. I’ve already received my new sewing machine so it won’t be too long before you’ll see some Brooklyn raised Mars Sock Monkeys. They’re on the horizon!

The first Urban Craft Uprising show I went to must have been December 06. I wasn’t doing much crafting at the time, but having the urge to made me curious about the Seattle craft scene. This year’s first Summer 09 Urban Craft Uprising was great. I guess I couldn’t get enough because I went both days! Meeting people opening day Saturday was fun and the 3d felting demo given by Moxie on Sunday was pretty cool.

There were also a ton of things I really, really wanted (in no particular order):

Maluhia Designs Japanese fabric purses, covers, etc!
Fox & Clover necklaces
Amy Hevron art
Wooly Bison bags
Spooky Mama Creations jewelry
Manmade Monsters t-shirts
Polymath Design Lab jewelry and home
Population One bags
Thea Starr Kanzashi hair accessories
Devout dolls and oddities!
Chikabird fabric pencil notebooks
Hasenpfeffer Incorporated dolls
Friends of Socktopus toys
Jessi Taylor jewelry
Cake spy illustrations
Berkley Illustration! art
Orange House Press. I think you get the idea. :)

These are only a few of the great products designed and put together by some very talented and dedicated people (some of whom I met)! The photos I took on Sunday are some of the vendors and artists that day. I know I missed many faces so sorry about that, but feel free to fill in the gaps by commenting or adding notes on the photos. Oh yeah, I was asked if I was selling at the event, but not this year. Hopefully I can showcase some Mars Sock Monkeys at an Urban Craft Uprising show in the future. I’m looking forward to December’s show!
