Indie Craft Bazaar Winter Wonderland: Saturday December 18th

A market full of creative talents will be open to the public on Saturday, December 18th from 1:00p to 6:00p. A Winter Wonderland of independent artists and crafters will be providing handmade, re-purposed, vintage, recycled, and vegan goods. The Hollywood Craft Mafia are excited to take part in this holiday Indie Craft Bazaar and hopes to see you on Saturday at Cinema Paradiso in Fort Lauderdale. For directions, please visit http://www.fliff.com/location.asp

If you are in the south Florida area this weekend, please come by the mini Odd Duck Retro & Geek show.  Even though we called it a "mini" show... it won't be!  Rather than have only 10 vendors, we cut the table space in half and doubled the artitsts/crafters/makers.  This way we can have everyone showcase their best retro-est or geek-y-est merchandise just for you.  The holiday shopping season is here, haven't you seen all the commercials from the big-box stores?  Skip all that, come out on Saturday and get some good old-fashioned handmade gifts.  Supporting local arts and crafts is a noble thing to do and it is always fun to meet the artist in person.
Wanna know what you'll find at the show?  Who you'll find at the show?  go here
it will take you to our facebook events page, go ahead and click that you'll be attending.  And, for those of you who don't like to use facebook, you can go here to find the info too.

3-9PM Saturday, November 13, 2010 at Gateway plaza (1900 Block of E. Sunrise Blvd) Fort Lauderdale

Day of the Dead celebration in Hollywood Saturday night

Come join the Hollywood Craft Mafia Saturday night for a Day of the Dead live Art and Crafting party!  We will have artists creating live for you to watch and for pretty cheap, you can jump in and learn some crafts.  You can learn the traditional paper cuts for only $3.00 or decorate your own plush sugar skull for only $6.
There is plenty of free stuff too.  Firstly, and most importantly, you can soak up as much art as your eyes can handle (of course, taking the art home isn't free), Mexican munchies and virgin margaritas will be dished out free of charge for your pleasure.
A good time is bound to be had by all, so please, come on out Saturday night.
For Art Sake is located at 2000 Harrison Street, Hollywood (1 block south of Hollywood Blvd, just west of 20th)

Stitch Rock 2010 this Saturday!

The Hollywood Craft Mafia is gonna be at Stitch Rock on Saturday.... are you?
Here is where you'll find details about the show.

mini Odd Duck Retro and Geek Show - fliers are out!

Update on the mini Odd Duck Retro and Geek show....
If you haven't already heard, the Hollywood Craft Mafia is mixing up the craft show style by hosting a mini show on November 13th.  What is a mini show, you ask?  We have carved out a little bit of space in two businesses in the same plaza and are bringing in local (and some not-so-local) artists & crafters to show & sell some great handmades.  We didn't want to limit your selection, so we limited the size of the table.  Each vendor has a small area to show off their geeky-est or retro-est merchandise from their inventory.  Whether you are coming out for the retro crafts or the geek, you'll want to check them both out. Retro is housed inside Jezebel and you'll find the Geek stuff inside Radio-Active records.  And, convient for you... they are in the same shopping plaza on E. Sunrise Blvd in Fort Lauderdale.

Why not go ahead and head over to one (or both) of these great locations and pick up one of our fliers?!?!
