Auckland Art & Craft Fair, 11th Dec 2010

It's a one-day-only art & craft fair that happened in Auckland for the 2nd time (the 1st one was in July), and I'm lucky enough to have been there! (lucky enough cause I'm off today, ha!)


Similar to Arts for Grab & Pipit Wonderful Market in Malaysia, the fair featured NZ local independent designers, artists and crafters work, selling direct to the public.

I saw jewelleries, cards, stationery, t-shirts, bags, shoes, plushies, etc. etc... they were awsome! The details, the workmanship, let alone the time spent but the love that they've put into each pieces, even the set up of their stalls...

You will find different design styles and concepts, which some, you can never seen in Malaysia.


I'm here to share these with all the fellow crafters and designers, after some careful organization of cards and contacts :)


It's a very nice venue, you don't need to worry about the weather.


Karin Jewellery. I love one of their feather pendant SO much! Unfortunately I still got to save for my trips :(


Cheek Pinchy. Nice motifs & colours with lots of varieties from earrings, pendants to brooches.


Flossys Fancy. Vintage, Vintage & Vintage!



Zooshii. The handmade NZ Monsters Inc. :)


Jewelleries & candles by 2 sisters Kellie Coombes & Ethel & Harriet.


Lovely handmade cards, gift tags, cookies... by Kate Tobeck.


The Binding Studio. Note books, dairy, sketch book with some awesome covers!


Birdspoke. They've got some very nice embroidery!


imp'ish. Haha! Match box brooches!! Reminds me about my match box collection some time ago...


Hydrangea Ranger. Oh, I must mention about their creativity on their call cards. See that bowl of B&W photos? That's their call card!! So cool!!


ZippityDooDah. Elizabeth made wonders with zippers!


Hunter Gatherer. Looking at the bows make me think of Curt in Glee :) But these are supposed to be on your head... Gem & Natheniel have some very interesting pendant too!


Don't you love that center-piece? Ferrit produces pendant, brooches and accessories, drawn on/print on fabric. My first impression was "Gun N' Roses"



A little vintage for your little ones... or you!



Plastic Fairy. The brooches are awesome!!


Honey Design. Hand bound books & photo albums.


Little owl says: "Meri Kerithmete", by Lily. Lily has some very interesting work made of map cutouts!


Unbelievable! Handmade shoes!! And I found it in an art fair!! By Spirocreations.


Tui. 'To paint with light' was printed in the card. I wonder what does it means? It's all black & white, but still, very eye catching.



Ceramics can fly. It's out of your imagination what form of ceramics you can find on that table :)

So long.... for a while....

I guess, I'll have to stop designing new stuff for a while.... to be exact, 4 months, from now on...

Will share with you all later why am I stop designing, and perhaps stop producing too. I just can't manage....

Thank you so much for all the love and support all these while, cassettee will be back very soon.


Luv,
Cass

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Harllo... I'm back from the Wonderful Market!! Met lots of Wonderful people, saw many Wonderful designer stuff, and being surprised by my Wonderful friends who actually came and support (especially Looi & hubby came all the way from Johor, though I know you're just "passing by KL, hahaha, but I really appreciate it!), and I had a Wonderful day!! ... tired though... hehehe...

Here are some pictures to share...

Early in the morning, just finished setting up...

Old friend, Jeans, posting behind bibichun's work. I just realized that she looks like the girl in the frame....?!

Jeans 1st time in an art bazaar with me. 1 of her handmade necklace. I like the pink one!
I'm glad that she's there to accompany me, really makes a difference of being alone manning a booth. Thanks babe!

Beau came visit. As usual, what you see now is what we normally will do... hahaha...

cassettee + rasa sayang + bibichun + Jeans with a bunch of lovely 'Angels' just came back from the Beautiful Gate camp visiting our booth. Appreciated so much thay they actually came :)

Our neighbour Big Mouth Woman and Uri crafts, nice and detail works they made.

Dear Bear 3. Cute stuff! The designer looks very cute too ^.^
Tata! The famous Ms Tako a.k.a Evan, or she's known as Evangelione. I superrrrr love her miniature creations! Her details on the handmade work is just unbelievable. Hehe, I've order a brooch from her... can't wait for it to arrive :)

Here comes Miss Irene! Her creations are very pretty, mostly quite girlish. I bet ladies out there sure will love them!

What you can find here is colourful stuff! The WBL stall
