Frances Melhop - Photography Project

Photographer Frances Melhop is currently working on a very interesting project. She has recently been awarded an artist residency in Italy & is on a mission to find some of the oldest Olive trees in the world. You may ask why she would be on such a mission. After viewing the video, you will see that these trees are beautiful, magical & possibly full of secrets. There seems to be humans trapped inside the trees, a fairytale dream come true! Frances is using old school technology to capture images that she will present at an exhibition, followed by a second series of limited-edition images printed by hand on fiber-based photographic paper. Her fundraising is in an effort to complete the project in a high-quality manner. Follow her journey via her blog showing her progress, as well as treasures & found oddities leading up to the exhibition. You can learn much more about this project on Frances' Kickstarter site.

Vendor Call - The Funky Finds Experience

header---presents

There’s still time to apply to be a vendor at The Funky Finds Experience, a 2-day handmade extravaganza, to be held November 6th & 7th in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Experience will have approximately the same number of vendor booths as previous events (120-130), but the square footage has been doubled (approximately 50,000 sq. ft.). The Amon G. Carter Exhibit Hall at Will Rogers Memorial Center is climate-controlled, has great lighting, nice bathrooms, and a conveniently located ATM.

We’ll have swag bags and raffle items both days to pack the house. The raffle will be silent with the winning numbers written on a white board. Make sure you get in while you can for what will be later billed as the event that put Tarrant County on the handmade map!

We have 10 categories and several spaces are still available for the ones listed below. We are happy to add additional categories and items once your application is received. The Jewelry category is full and Art only has a few spaces open.

If you are unable to participate in The Funky Finds Experience, you can still have some presence at the event by being a sponsor and/or advertising in our high-quality 8.5” x 11” event booklet. We are also accepting promotional items & samples for 100 swag bags. More details can be found on The Funky Finds Experience website.
