So many beautiful colors, textures, fabrics, bags, toys, clothing... I was in heaven walking through the crafters' section at MakerFaire.
I really want to learn needle felting so I can make little softies like these.
Clay got to try Provo Craft's new Yudu silk screen machine and made this great bag which I've already taken shopping with me several times.
We were crazy about this knit chair; have you ever seen anything so cool? If only I knew how to knit... (it is on my list of things to learn).
I loved all the maker stations set up everywhere. You could sit down on a comfy couch and learn to felt, make a simple dress, punch a leather mask, make a bar of soap (below) or letterpress something (two below). So much creative energy flying around!
Paper robots kind of sum up the convergence of so many different media, art forms and sub cultures that were MakerFaire. Seeing the myriad creative directions a mind can take was so inspiring!
