It’s that time of the year again! Come to the twelfth annual Sunbrothers show this Sunday. I’ll have all sorts of things: octopi, squid, kitties, cowls, apples, and wayyyyy too many hats! Details and directions can be found here.
I’ll also have a few crocheted hearts, and the incredibly rare cephalopoda valentina!
After a very hectic past two weekends, I will be decking out the ice cream cart for the holiday Renegade Craft Fair this weekend! Please come and check it out, there will be over 200 vendors. And it seems like I’ve started a trend: there will be a total of four roving vendors there. Crazy, no?
I’m pleased to say I will be a part of the Bazaar Bizarre Holiday Show in San Francisco next weekend! I will have a special holiday version of my ice cream cart, it should be a pretty fun time! All the details can be found on their site, here.
Hope to see you there!
Firstly, I am running a little contest on my facebook page. You have until July 7th to enter!
I have three! shows in July. First up is the Renegade Craft Fair. This will be a great show, and is the last chance to see the ice cream cart this summer!
Next, on July 14th, I will be part of Bizarre Bazaar at the California Academy of Sciences Nightlife event! Man, that is a mouthful! If you’ve never been to a Nightlife event, you should really check it out. It’s lovely to be at the museum with grownups and drinks, and they usually have great speakers and djs. It’s fun!
Finally, on July 24th, I will be heading back to the Indie Mart! It’s been soooo long since there’s been an Indie Mart show, and I really miss them. Come spend the day in the sun! I think a lot of the vendors are going to be pretty excited for this show, it should be a great one.
I hope to see you at some or all of these! Also, you should check out the Nyan Cat scarf I made:
It’s in my etsy shop. 
Happy July!
This coming weekend, dorklandia will be at the new Treasure Island Flea Market! If you live in the Bay Area and haven’t been to Treasure Island, you are missing out. It’s a spooky weird place, and I’m excited to spend a couple of days hanging out there.
Next, on June 4th, I will be parading my ice cream cart on Market Street as part of the Cries of San Francisco. This is going to be pretty funny, there will be approximately 70 artists wandering around Market between 3rd and 5th, selling their own wares and other oddities. I’m particularly excited to see the insect antenna vendor and the Psychic Plumbing Network.
I am getting ready for the Maker Faire, which will happen this weekend. I’ll have the ice cream cart again this year, but there is a new twist: I bought a real ice cream cart! Of course, it needed some work. Here is a before shot:
The new cart, before I got peeling.
Of course, that’s not what it looks like anymore. It is presently being outfitted and will make its debut on Saturday. I’ll have kits and cones and popsicles and barrettes. I hope to see you there!
I’m happy to say that I will be at Portland’s Crafty Wonderland this year! I had a great time during their spring sale last year, and am very excited to be able to go back and visit such a nifty city.
I’ll be at table 45, and will have octopi, cat sticks, and rotten apples in tow. See you there?
I am so excited to announce that dorklandia will be exhibiting at WonderCon this year! This is happening this weekend, April 1 – 3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. I’ll have new things to show, and you can take a chance at winning a tiny octopus from my capsule machine!

We will be at table D-7. Hope to see you there!

Please join us for a step into my second decade of Solar Powered Roses. This year’s show will include a new 2011 batch of roses, sweet peas, a giant carrot, a sunflower, and a disintegrating sphere. Yes, you’ll just have to see it to know what I’m talking about.

This Thursday, dorklandia will make an appearance at the California Academy of Sciences Nightlife event! Presented by the lovely folks from the Indie Mart, join me and about 40 other vendors for science, cocktails, and stuffed animals. And, you know, other things too. Here‘s a link!
Next up, I will be heading to LA on Friday morning for the Renegade Craft Fair on Saturday and Sunday! Oh, so exciting! It’s supposed to be warm and sunny both days, and the event is in a park. Details here, if you are in the LA area please stop by and say hello!
As a bonus, if you come to my table and teach me how to say “octopus” in another language, you get a free dorklandia sticker!
