Christmas is a Coming. . .

Thanks to Only Here For The Food, an Edmontonian epicurean blog who mentioned Saraswati being at the Royal Bison Craft Fair this past weekend. The new Feather Wrap cuff was a hit, and we could barely keep up with demand. If you'd like to check the cuff out, I am dropping a couple off at Bamboo Ballroom this afternoon.

Papirmasse, a fun and funky Montreal based art subscription is back in business. For only $5.00 a month, you will receive a fresh art print on archival paper right to your mailbox. I am stoked. Who doesn't like getting art in the mail? 

I will be in SUB at the U of A later on this week, and at the Handmade Mafia this weekend for all of your  Christmas shopping needs. Beautiful new necklaces for this weekend are in production (well in my imagination so far anyways). The mafia is expanding to 2 buildings to fit all the crafty goodness this upcoming weekend. More selection = better gifts.

Calcutta Coins

Here are some necklaces that I started making this week featuring antique coins that I found on the mean streets of Calcutta. Actually no one there was mean at all. . . 

Some of the coins date back to the Mughal Empire. I love the green patina on this last coin.

I will be at the Alberta Aviation Museum for Make It Edmonton! starting tonight, and in Old Strathcona for the Royal Bison this weekend. Two places at once - MAGIC!!

See you there for some Christmas craft extravaganzaing!

Beads & Seeds

Here are some new earrings that I have come up with for Winter Wonderland in Old Strathcona this weekend:

  The materials used include rudraksha and recycled glass beads.

This should be a fun event; live music, a bake sale, and even a Crafty Santa!

Hope to see you there.

In the valley.

A big thanks to The Natural Home in Invermere. They will be featuring some Saraswati in their stunning showroom beginning next week.
