Back from Saboten

and Transfer of blog

Con Artist... no I really Am      has moved   welcome to our new home

-->

To all who have stuck by me through this transfer, thank you!

On my way back from my latest convention, Saboten!! It’s a fun little con near Phoenix Arizona, reminds me of conventions I went to way back in the beginning:  Panels that actually talk about anime or Japanese culture; Con-goers that are there for more than just to be at a con; Staff willing and helpful; A dealers hall and an artist alley that was absolutely full of fun people; even a Lion dance! Truly a great time! Spent way too much money too!

A shout out and a major thanks goes out to my table monkey!!! First time he was at con helping me, in fact he is transcribing this for me right now. A very helpful guy! *squee* I wanna keep him!!! Alas, I don’t know how long he’ll be here with me. He’s moving soon. *sigh* Isn’t it just the way of it, find a great helper and then they leave.

Because of my great helper I was able to go to three panels. In one I learned how to make a mini top hat, well more than just sewing felt together, which I had done in the past. Isn’t it cute?

So I’m not sure of how many of you are aware that I’ve added dice to my collection.  They are a blast to work with. Tut and pics to follow. A friend got me into working with them and I'm glad he did!

While at Saboten I met two artisit that I would love to work with and had a blast talking with them! One of them does amazing clay sculptures, cute little charms that I’m going to go crazy working with.  Look forward to seeing necklaces and bracelets of Goku in clay! Of Naruto, in clay! Of … yeah, you get the idea. I’m going to have so much fun!  The other lady does lampwork beads so look forward to seeing beautiful lampwork beads added to my projects soon. Sterling with lampwork maybe or some platinum with gold~ish lampwork… who knows.

When I get home I’ll work on transferring this over to a new site… I promise! (FYI: this is the new site. Also posted and forwarded from old site.)

Had a great time at this con, and when I’m back I’ll be getting ready for the next con.  I hope to have the next tut up in a few days.


Thanks all,

Bekah
