Vote for Creeper!

If you follow me on Twitter you know this past weekend/week I have been in the process of moving. That's why there has been a lack of posts on my blog. Don't worry though-I've still be working behind the scenes to make October a great month to be reading my blog. ;)

 I did manage to enter Creeper into a contest ModCloth is holding-although a bit late in the game since I think voting ends on the 30th. We'd love some votes though. Matt says people don't like black cats--let's prove him wrong!

 VOTE HERE

(you have to like ModCloth on FB to see the entry. Once you do that just hit the back button and you should see my entry)

I mean, look at this sad little purple conehead face...how can you say no? (I finally got to take it off him last night after 10 days)

Thank you!  See you guys soon!

Grad School: 1st Quarter Down!

I have officially finished my first quarter in grad school!  I learned a lot, met some great new people, and had a mini-meltdown while trying to get everything ready for critique.  Yano, the usual.

So today I thought I would show you some of the work I created during this 1st quarter.  There are other pieces, but they were more technical projects, and aren't terribly exciting.

This first project is where I had to look at the magazine Garden&Gun and then make a mock cover, title page, and 2 page spread for it.  Since I was already craving the cooler months, I decided to base mine around gourds and the decorative nature people can use them in.

All art direction and photography is done by me. I'm still learning with type, so I had some guidance when it came to that.

Cover:

Title Page:

Two Page Spread:

This second project is where I had to shoot a portrait and then do beauty retouching on the image. This shoot ended up being a lot of fun and I will have more images to show from it very soon!

:D

Tracked this image all around the Internet until I found the Etsy shop of The Ink Society. Added bonus? This print is currently on sale! :D

I am not ashamed to say I have watched this multiple times, nor am I ashamed to say that Matt and I have tried mimic some of this guy's sweet moves in public since watching this.

Love the colors in this photograph!

This is a pretty cool commercial for a kids cereal. The one thing I don't get is the end--I don't have friends that just sit on the floor and watch me eat, do you?

If these sounds like something you are interested in being a part of, please email me at MaryRebeccaBlog@gmail.com

I can't wait to start working on this--thank you!

Atlanta Mini Maker Faire [and a small rant]

[Photo courtesy of Flex Family Arts]

Last Saturday was the first Atlanta Mini Maker Faire and it ended up being a lot of fun! I shared a tent with Amanda of Flex Family Arts and her fiancé James [aka SquidFlex].  Although the event ended up being a great success both Amanda and I encountered some frustrating experiences from a few attendees. I encourage you to go read her blog post on it--she'd love to hear feedback!

I'm only going to touch on one thing that seems to be quite prominent no matter the show I'm doing.

People taking photographs of my booth or products without a single acknowledgment that I am there. 

I love that people think my booth and items are cool enough to take a photo, but a simple, "Hello- do you mind if I take a photograph?" goes a long way.  Taking a photo in silence and then walking away is rude and yet it happens constantly. I don't mind that people want to take pictures, but after enough people don't say anything or make eye contact, you start to think you're invisible or you have your dress tucked in your tights! Even just some eye contact and a camera wiggle, and we are instantly on the same page. If all that fails, taking a business card is always nice. :)

What is really frustrating are the people that pretend I'm not standing inches from them while they talk about how they could make this stuff or that it's too expensive. If you want to make your own jewelry, by all means--I think that's great! I just think some people go to indie crafts shows and forget these are not huge corporations hawking their wares. I'm a one person show--I'm with each piece from concept to completion.  I strive to make affordable pieces, because I myself can't spend a lot of jewelry...but if you want Forever21 prices, you're going to have to go to Forever21. It just gets frustrating when these kinds of people are blocking your booth from people who actually want to buy items-- a booth in which I have spent time and money to have. I actually had a couple at the summer I.C.E. show ignore me while the boyfriend took close-up photos of necklaces his girlfriend liked because, "His friend could make these." 

Does anyone have any advice or methods they use to handle such situations? I'm worried a "Please Ask Before Photographing" sign would turn people away from the booth. Plus, at the same time I'm not going to chase you with a pitchfork the second I notice a camera. I know some people are just shy and I don't want to unintentional intimidate someone.

Now with all that being said, I know not everyone that takes a photo is trying to be rude!  A lot of people are taking the photos because they want to make a blog post or something similar that helps promote the artist---and us crafters would LOVE to see it! 

My background is in photography, so I've shot my fair share of events. The number one question people always want to know is, "Where can I see these photos?" If you get an awesome shot of my booth, get a shot of me not looking like I'm impersonating Jim Carey, or just have a write up about the event-I'd be thrilled to see it and to help drive traffic to your site. :D 

I understand people love to document with photography...I AM that person.
Just sometimes your actions, or lack thereof, can be interpreted differently from the crafters side of the booth.  Just something to keep in mind

My side of the tent!

*I didn't know that drinking Mountain Dew products was considered trashy until last month. So of course the one photo I find of my booth on the event page is documenting my "trashy behavior".
Whatever, I love my sugary sugar fest! ;D
