We'll be heading up to Oregon two weeks from today! I think I'll post some photos from last year's Oregon Country Fair (OCF). If you've never been then it's a bit hard to imagine. Sort of like a little village out in the woods, only on another planet. Hippy Disneyland. An explosion of art, music, performance, food, craftwork and love.
I think we'll do really well this year. Krista is out in the studio right now, painting some little 8" by 8" treasures. We'll have lots of little originals, mostly 11 by 14, that will be more affordable than the big works. And hopefully we'll have our 30 silk wall hangings from Bali. The sarongs we were to get (from a different batik 'factory') never materialized. Those folks just flaked out on us! Too bad, 'cause those images are fantastic! Maybe next year.
If you've never seen Krista's work check out www.devaluna.com .
We'll also have imports from Bali and Thailand to peddle at the 'barter fair' that happens on the heels of OCF. There are lots of folks who've been importing stuff for years and years. They have big booths totally stocked with gorgeous stuff from Bali, India, Africa, Nepal, you name it. We'll be pretty small potatoes! But I have wonderful carved drums, assuming they made it over intact. Our shipment is in Oakland waiting to be x-ray'd or something. Hopefully we'll have it in the next few days.
Sorry this is such a mundane posting. I've just added some more Thailand photos. Probably the last from Thailand. I hope you enjoy them.
love
rob
