The show was a great success with many visitors taking in all the interesting crafts on display!
I arrived late on Thursday evening and had a lot of fun setting up our tables. My show stand is really starting to take shape nicely nowadays (if I say so myself)! These some pictures of our tables which were set up in a 'L-shape'.
And some closeups of the jewellery on the table.
There were many other great crafts there.
On one side of us was Johan and his crew from Fire and Glass with their lampworked glass beads
On the other side were representatives of the Pretoria weavers guild
The wooden thing in the front of the picture is a transportable spinning wheel. The foot pedals rotate the wheel and the spindle is positioned just in front of the users knees. This one folds up flat and has a carry bag! How cool?
And here you see a card loom that is used to make bands and similar narrow pieces. Looms like this one have been recovered from archaeological digs from as far back as 850AD!
Or how about this baby?
Megan was there with her teddy bears (Tin Soldiers)
And there she is hard at work on a teddy bear
These bears were brought in by someone hoping to sell their collection. I absolutely love the musketeer beer and had to really argue with myself about buying. Although if I ever find a pattern for making this bear...
And this is Marietha who has been doing Srilankan Applique for 30 years.
Here we have pewter work.
This is creative knitting. My mother has been doing classes in this for about a year (I think) and the things she has maid are amazing!
Of course it wouldnt be the Centurion Craft Show without quilting and there some amazing quilts on display!
Im already looking forward to next years show! See you all there!!
