YooLa's first art fair

Here are some photos for everyone that couldn't make it,
A big thank you to those of you that did make it, it was great meeting you.
It was a very successful event and very good experience for me both as a person and as a designer, I could really feel the reactions to my designs, I was blushing the whole day long.
I was really surprised how many "non sellers" knew my shop from etsy and how many people read our forum on TAPUZ.
The preparation as well as the day itself were really exhausting but I can say now it was worth it.

NEW pattern shop on Ravelry

Hooray !!!!
My new patterns shop on Ravelry is now open, there are some cool things about this shop :
A. the buyer downloads him/herself the pattern
B. It can be downloaded more then once
C. I can add "buy this" buttons on my blog (not sure how to do this yet, so be patient with me).
C. Here we come to the best part, whenever I update the pattern or write a variation for example I can let all my buyers of this specific pattern know about it and they can download it if they want to.
Isn't that fab?

All I have to do now is see how to draw some traffic there ..... :)

Art Fair (this Satuarday)

Only a couple of days left for my first art fair (and maybe my last), as expected I haven't finished preparing everything I wanted to, especially since I always want to do more then its reasonable to do.

I have no idea what sort of experience this is going to be, will it put my HIGH or LOW, I try to prepare myself for both, I tell my self its not a "real" design presentation for a real client, only a hobby in a friendly gathering. This is all true but yet I may get disappointed...
if only few people will come....
if they will not appreciate my work and ignore it or just be polite....
if nobody will buy anything (did i just say it out loud ?)....

Then I tell myself I do it for me :) but I dont really believe me...
So - bottom line, if you are local (= in Israel) you are welcome to visit, if you are not but know friends that are, you are welcome to let them know about it, and if you are neither I promise to post here photos of the event, If I'll survive it.

Date :16.5.09
Hours : 10:00-20:00
Place : Shvil ha-no-te-a 9 Even Yehuda
Point No 19 in the event signs

A special design for a special day - happy birthday ISRAEL

Did you ever ask yourself how many "vertexes" does a pomegranate crown have?
Well I have…. and apparently the number varies between 3 to 7.
The interesting thing is that when there are 6 , a star of David appears at the top of the pom .

These finger size star of David poms were created from a coated copper fine wire, using a crochet needle, one is in blue and the second in silver,
Its actual size is : 1.4 X 1.4 X 1" (3.5 X 3.5 X 2.5cm)
