As I've gotten older, I've been able to tame that unruly part of my psyche that wants to play all day and make her a tad more responsible. But, mostly, being creative is the drug I need, so sitting in my work space creating new pieces feeds my soul. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I made this piece last week and adore it. It's already adorning the neck of a friend getting ready for her first overseas journey, how fitting!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Hope you'll check out all the new goodies I'm working on at the next show, Makers Arcade, coming up Saturday, April 26th, at The Glashaus in Barrio Logan.

<br />
I hope you're getting excited for the show this weekend! I know I am, from almost 10,000 miles away. Since I can only be there in spirit, I wanted to share with you a little bit of what I'm up to here on the other side of the world.<br />
<br />
As many of you know, for the last few years I've had the privilege to work as a product designer alongside <a href="http://emberarts.com/">Ember Arts</a>, a fair trade company based in San Diego, California, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampala">Kampala, Uganda</a>. I'm in Kampala right now, about halfway through a four month trip. In addition to the serious work, there are also fantastic things to see and do, such as attending the anual goat races. Yes, it's pretty much exactly like it sounds.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEaqXIEhpJIooVpNN5WRGGytMWb3HS3fTtHxApM0J6Y9ZfHGRk2jn-RENTz6yG8K6UgnIEi8x1OBH5mn2kNUuwG2Faa2_L_e5a1Lbuy42Zqum8IYnoWAR4B25FG649rUzmNj1B3TkFSGlJ/s1600/_MG_6005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEaqXIEhpJIooVpNN5WRGGytMWb3HS3fTtHxApM0J6Y9ZfHGRk2jn-RENTz6yG8K6UgnIEi8x1OBH5mn2kNUuwG2Faa2_L_e5a1Lbuy42Zqum8IYnoWAR4B25FG649rUzmNj1B3TkFSGlJ/s640/_MG_6005.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
One of the best parts of being here for a longer time has been getting to know the local art scene a bit better, such as recycled materials artist <a href="http://www.thecity2.org/stories/recycled-amusement">Ruganzu Bruno</a>, who recently won a TEDx City 2.0 prize which has allowed him to build a playground out of recycled materials for children living in a nearby slum. This photo below is of a piece of playground equipment prior to its coat of brightly colored paint. It's made from motorcycle tires. You can also see a bit of the wall behind it, made from water bottles that the children and their parents collected from the gutters and trash heaps around their homes. Recycling and litter are fairly new conversations here in Uganda, and it's exciting to see the community get involved. It has been wonderful to see how public art is really taking root here in Uganda, hoping to inspire and create change.<br />

Most days, though, I'm spending time with the women that are part of our partner co-op, NUPECA. These women are using handmade crafts (paper bead jewelry), to transform their lives and their futures. In the past, the only job that was available to most of them was earning less than a dollar a day, pounding rocks in a rock quarry to make gravel. </div>

Though these worlds may seem strikingly different, it is art and community that connect them. Realize that when you support artists and entrepreneurs anywhere in the world by purchasing their wares, you are making a statement in support of creativity, independence, fair wages, and local economic growth. So enjoy the handmade goodness, tell your friends, and be proud of yourself for being a part of the revolution. </div>

Juanita Bunuelos lives just across the border in Rosarito, Mexico and we are very excited to have her as one of our guest artisans at the next show this coming Sunday, September 30th.<br />
<br />
Juanita aka "Jenni" makes so many amazing things. Mostly accessories made from scrap leather. First she'll make a clutch or wallet and then the scraps from that project may become a bracelet or part of a ring. What we love is that each item she creates is so unique and shows off her amazing attention to the smallest of details. That perfection can be seen especially in her embroidery work and crochet pieces. She has such wonderful talents and we are fortunate to have her handmade art at this next show. See you on Sunday!<br />

This time next week, the artists and creatives at The Handmade Revolution will be transforming The Yellow House on B Street into what has become a familiar sight to our followers. It will be our 4th Annual Fall Trunk Show and this time we will have a few guest artists joining us, one of them is Seth Sullivan, otherwise known as Art Pusher. I met Seth in South Park while admiring an amazing art piece he had installed in Junc on Fern Street. Recently, he and his friend Heber, along with owner of Junc, Jeffrey Parish, transformed the store with a few trips to an architectural salvage yard, hard work and combined creativity. <br />
Seth is a self-taught design artist that has no limit to his creativity. His main goal is to let people see the beauty in things considered strange or offbeat. He works mainly with spray paint, taxidermy, metals, glass, different types of wood and rare light bulbs to mention a few. It's no wonder that he shows his unique taste in the strange furniture and art he offers. <br />
We can't wait to see what Seth will bring next week but we're sure it will be a great addition to our show and you definitely won't want to miss it!colleen townend jewelryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08819014332087161032noreply@blogger.com0
