Gettin' Made: Pictures from Yesterday's Patchwork Show

It was such a great day at Patchwork in Santa Ana on Sunday! It was beautiful out, so hot the backs of my knees were crazy-sweaty (too much information?), and amazing handmade crafts were in abundance! New this time around was the shutting down of Buffalo Street to make room for a more spacious booth layout, which I loved.

​

After the jump, check out more pictures and get the scoop on the next Patchwork show.

Literary Necklaces and Scrabble Charms by Found and Made Designs

​

Found and Made's booth was great, so much vintage ephemera to get lost in! These Literary Necklaces really drew me in like a good book should!

KB Van Horn of Kokoleo waves hello from her booth

​

It was bittersweet seeing KB at the Kokoleo booth yesterday - we've done many a craft show together, and I recently learned she and her family are moving to Seattle at the end of the month. I'm sad to see her go, but I know big things are on the horizon for her - I'm super excited to talk to her for an OC Weekly post in the future about the crafty scene up north!

Succulent plant terrarium by Lexi Lee of LIttle Bit

​

Succulents are a big trend in craftiness right now, and I completely loved seeing Lexi's take on it yesterday - she had a whole slew of planters that had little creatures worked in (like the dinosaur pictured above), that just kinda transformed the planters into little fantastical worlds. Translation: SUPERCUTE.

Siamese Fencing League t-shirt by Maiden Voyage Clothing

​

I can't lie. I really want one of these shirts. I was digging everything in the Maiden Voyage Clothing booth - really vintage feeling graphics with a humorous vibe, something I can always get behind.

Tin Can Skulls by Rawbone Studio

​

These folk arty Day of the Dead style skulls are so much fun - I love that they're made from recycled tin cans, too! Small pieces of art like this are great because you don't have to commit one entire wall to one piece - you can assemble different colors and pieces together to create a really vibrant fun art wall in your house!

Didn't make it to Patchwork yesterday? Never fear, you can relive the day by clicking here to check out all the pictures I took for you! And don't forget - Patchwork comes back at the end of the month with another craft fair in Long Beach. For details on the upcoming 6/27 Patchwork show, visit the website.
