If you are living in the Atlanta, GA area you’ll be ecstatic to know that about the American Craft Show that happens every year at around March. Normally held at the Cobb Galleria Centre, you’ll be able to see all sorts of crafted pieces and artworks that will be a pleasure to you and your friends. You may even find some jewelry pieces that will be the delight of your wife.

I try to go these events whenever I am able to, and I am an advocate of such craft shows. You will see a lot of crafts that make use of recycled materials this year. Although I am more inclined to prefer traditional crafts, these items are still more or less worth a look.

I’ll take the jewelry example I made earlier in the entry. For me, jewelry is only wearable when it is made from material that works well with the feel of “jewelry”. I really have no intention of presenting my wife with materials made from twigs or other such junk. Sculptures may work very well with these, but there is a difference between art and street wear.

However, I will note that there is one exception to my metal and gemstone mindset. You may be able to find trinkets at Alexandra Bitner’s lucite jewelry that are just fantastic and very wearable indeed. It is difficult to fashion something chic out of something a lot of people would consider garbage, but Bitner managed to do it well.

If you want to do your part for the environment, or if the concept of wearing recycled items as jewelry appeals to you, then you can go to the American Craft Show that is held annually. To be fair, it’s not just jewelry; there are other works of art made from such materials. To each his own, but it’s really not my thing. If you’ve missed the American Craft Show, no need to fret; there are dozens of other crafts show you can attend all year round.

Rent a car in Spain can be an incredible experience and the most enthusiastic, the rest of the trip. The rates for renting a car on Lanzarote or change the distance you drive.

Not like in the USA, where there are cities such as Miami, Boston, New Jersey, California and other cities where people that move there often rent cars.

Mead is an alcoholic beverage that is derived from honey and water, fermented and left to develop using yeast. The content may rise from that of slightly alcoholic, to one that could knock out a heavy drinker. More often than not, it is confused with the name ‘honey wine’ but it is still mead. Quite really, it is still just water and honey for the more no-nonsense folks out there.

A type of mead that has herbs and spices (common favorites are ginger, vanilla, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, oregano and even lavender) is called metheglin. Metheglin comes from the word “meddyglyn” which roughly means ‘healing liquor’ suggesting to its earlier use as a type of therapeutic or immediate drug.

Nowadays, metheglin is commercialized, produced, and sold in bottles across the state, more for its taste and appeal rather than its medicinal effects (if it did have any). Spicing and the combination of amount and type is key. As of this time, there are at least a hundred different types of metheglin, a handful being popular, and some bordering on the exotic or esoteric.

Metheglin makes for good business, especially in parts of Texas who still have the appetite for this pioneer drink. It’s simple, and not complicated like beer or most of the modern wines that we have. The health bit is a bonus; it’s the taste that matters. After all, we’ve been smoking and drinking with disregard for our health. Well, metheglin may actually be good for your body. Moderation, again, is key to this however. After all, too much of a good thing would still bring illness to you.

To make metheglin, mix rational parts of water and honey, bring to a boil, and mix in your herbs or flowers/spices and yeast. Allow to ferment for a week in an airtight container. Drain out and strain for impurities and ferment once more. Let it reach at least a year for good and sweet taste that’s deep, like the history of mead.

If you’re taking off for any length of time away on holiday or business, it should not be a question of whether or not to buy insurance but rather who to get your insurance from. Low cost backpacker travel insurance is excellent for backpackers, students doing their gap year travel and any young person looking for affordable travel insurance when taking long trips.

Humans have always sought to use tools to help them survive. Through out millennia, Mankind has used tools to adapt and overcome the sometimes harsh environment he has found himself in. As time has dragged on, Man has fashioned ever more complex and high tech tools. These tools have enabled him to build the hunt for game, build the Pyramids and cross oceans. Today, that same thirst for invention has given us GPS, or Global Positioning system

It seems every other person has a GPS device of some sort. And why not? GPS tracking devices allow people to keep track of their loved ones and their vehicles and allow them to keep from getting lost on their out of town trips. While it is nice to admire GPS for the technological marvel it is, one should be informed of what GPS is and how it works.

As you may already know, GPS is used around the world in navigating land and sea. This is accomplished via a constant connection to satellites in geo-synchronous orbit above the Earth. The satellites send signals to the GPS units and the receivers in the units take this signal and the information is relayed back to the satellite. The information that is decoded and translated is then used to determine the units exact position on the Earth.

While the original GPS system of satellites was only used by the United States military in the 1970s and 1980s, the technology has been made available to everyday people since the 1990s. The limited release in the early years meant that the price of GPS units was very high. Now that GPS has become more widespread, you can get a good unit for less than $200.

Cheap GPS units mean only one thing - the adoption of their use by a large swath of the population. These inexpensive units mean that pretty much every car on the road has them on the dashboard so that the driver doesn’t get lose or waste money on gasoline spent going the wrong way.

You can purchase a GPS unit in one of two ways. You can buy a unit for your dashboard and remove it each time you leave the vehicle alone. Or you can get the GPS unit installed into your dashboard as an option when you purchase the vehicle.

In a few short decades, GPS has gone from military hardware, to a tool used by only the well off, to a ubiquitous item in many households all around the world.

I heard a passerby say, “…it’s just one thing after another! Wow, it’s just amazing!”, as the American Craft Council Baltimore Show drew to a close. And that statement summed up what I felt about the experience. It was a total treat to meet with craftspeople and see their works up close. A lot of the people I met were people I only knew by their popular works until the show; but I really felt like I already knew them. I give a salute to some of the artists that have touched me deeply.

The Iron Design Company promotes stylish designs. Headed by Marc Maiorana, the designs are of elegance that is not usually associated with iron. It’s really hard to fathom how exquisitely made Maiorana’s candlesticks are, and even more because they are the result of processing an industrial material. Even the simple, small bottle openers he has manufactured can double as installation art.

While we’re on the topic of installations, let me talk about Jamie Harris. He recently added a “mod” to his array of blown glass pieces. These crafts are layered with loud colors, then it was carved very thinly so that could easily clip to your wall. The glass canvass is a magnificent piece to add to your decorations.

Euh-Suh Choi does things a little bit differently, although she also works with glass. She lets her personal experience show up on the material. The glass she works with is very delicate due to its thinness, but she ends up with mind-provoking works of art that are stunning.

These craftspeople are always excited to show others what they’ve done. If only time had afforded me the luxury to, I would have perused each one carefully and marveled at every last one. Nonetheless, there are a lot more talented people than the one I have written about here, and you’ll get to meet then when you go to craft shows in the future.

I’d like to talk about promoting the event, as a final nod toward the weekly craft show articles that I’ve been presenting. When you are setting up a booth, nothing comes close to the importance of doing this. Imagine this: if no one attends the event, then there will be no one around to buy your goods! Events promotion should be done both at the venue and outside of it.

Whenever a customer purchases something, I make sure to hand him or her a market flier about the event. A lot of people are sure to want to take the flier; what they do with it after is their choice, but it will still lead to them spreading the word. Try to ask your neighboring sellers to do the same with their buyers.

If you have an online shop, it’s advisable to print the URL of the site on the flier as well. A good way to do this creatively is to use more attractive items rather than fliers. What I have are promotional bookmarks. There is a picture of my shop’s banner on it. And I ask my customers how they came to hear about the show. This helps me figure out how to better promote the event.

Outside promotion is also quite necessary, but in many cases is not left to you. The organizers of the event will be the ones to send out press releases every week to the local media. You’ll be lucky if your market manager can get the show in the local newspaper, magazine, or even on television.

However, this does not mean that the vendors themselves should be lax about promoting the event. Ask the organizers if they have fliers prepared and then spread it around in as many places as you yourself. Just don’t litter!
