Crafty Bastards Art Fair


Yesterday Ryan and I went to the Crafty Bastards art fair in Adams Morgan. We didn't purchase anything but I did pick up several business cards for companies I would like to purchase from in the future. I am sure Ryan will post his own blog about the event and put up some pictures of the crowds but I wanted to post these links so others can enjoy and shop.

This is a Knit in a Kit program that supplies everything you need to make a final product. They mostly have baby accessories.

This company does slightly retro screen printing.

This company creates new items out of unwanted or recycled fabrics. I love their beer coozys.

She makes stuffed animals by design. You can pick and choose the colors and the size and whether or not it has kid safe eyes or plastic eyes. Very cute. Also her website has games and other fun activities.

Although the website is mostly poster design they had quite a few shirts at the show.

She mostly has prints but many of them remind me of fairy tale illustrations. What actually caught my eye the first time was a Little Red Riding Hood poster and how it reminded me of another blogger I follow. She had fallen in like with a Little Red poster which may be by the same artist- at least they have a similar style. I like the "stirring" silkscreen and the "homeless" one.

There was also a booth for Horrible Adorable but I can't seem to find the website. Here is their flicker page.

Jaime Zollar's prints are cool (mine's by Andrea Zuill). Dave + I both like Horrible Adorable's stuff, too. She has an Etsy page, but nothing's for sale (b/c she had it all at Crafty Bastards?).
