Just thought I'd give a shout-out to a few new friends I met at Artfest:
Hey, it's the tutu lady! When Carrie Clayden isn't taking photos of people whirling in the tutus she makes, she's running Hip Chick Designs, and teaching at  Art Is... in Benicia, California. Did I get everything?
You might've seen Jennifer Blevins being tortured by me and a few other friends at Sirens in Port Townsend. Don't worry, she's recovered enough to continue blogging at the Trend Spot (she gets to hunt for trends in our alterna-arts world).
And Emily Cline, whose new secret name I am honor-bound not to reveal. (Hint: it kinda makes her sound like a gunslinger.) Besides being ridiculously beautiful, she also helps women reconnect with their inner craftiness at Doodlebugheart.
