Craft2.0 photos
The fair last weekend was lovely. Seemed like everyone who came was very happy and chatty. Always makes the day go faster.

How to Make a Dick of Yourself
As the saying goes, it's better to stay silent and be throught a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Buuuut, I don't seem to learn. So I put my hand up to be interviewed on Makertorium TV. Somehow I didn't register the "TV" part of it and assumed that the whole thing would be recorded in writing and make its way into the bowels of the internet to stay mostly unread and grow pixel mould. Then I realised that my voice would get recorded and made an expression that looked like my face was trying to eat itself. I was once interviewed by Radio NZ and sounded like a moron there. For some reason all my friends always sound very accomplished and knowledgeable about their interview topic, and I come across like a half-baked idiot with hedgehogs in my mouth. Maybe I shouldn't talk?
Seconds before MsBehaviour started asking me questions, it dawned on me that there was a camera involved. I asked for a paper bag to put over my head, but there wasn't one available. It was too late to sulk, but not too late to get an irksome flashback.
I once got shoved in front of a news crew to give an opinion about something unmemorable. I was walking down the street, minding my own business, when I bumped into a friend; and as we walked along talking, we saw some dudes with a news camera. I quickly started turning to make an avoidance detour, but my limelight loving friend grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the reporter. We got asked some pointless questions, which my companion responded to with gusto. I came up with some ridiculously banal reply, thinking that there was no way they would put such crap on TV, and I'd be off the hook. I shoud have known better. I came across like a freshly lobotomised institution escapee.
The Makertorium inverview was a live stream, and while I zealously blabbered on about something that sounded meaningful to me at the time, I kept thinking how MsBehaviour's eyes were an insane hue of blue, and that I really should have found myself a paper bag.

Chromatophobic on Storenvy
Check out Chromatophobic's new online store!
After reading Sheryl's online store comparison on her blog Nevertheless, I decided to try out Storenvy. I was very impressed by the simplicity of setting up the store and listing the products. The UI is quite intuitive, and the functionality of the various menus and listing options is something that other online market places can learn from.

Wellington Underground Market

Homegrown Frank Kitts
From one extreme to the other. This may be an apt comparison between this market and the one I did in January. Whereas the January one was full of small children, this one had an abundance of drunk teenagers. Maybe thery aren't too dissimilar though - both require a babysitting service. Maree who had a stall next to mine, commented that even if you don't sell lots, the entertainment value of people watching makes up for it. I would almost share this optimistic view if it wasn't for the constant stream of too short high-wasted denim cut-offs on over-square teenage girls - a view that had me pining for some eye bleach. One young man seemed convinced that he could squeeze one of my cufflinks into his labret piercing. That would have created more mess than him spilling his radioactive green slushy over my stall. Overall, it was a pretty reasonable day, and I'm considering giving Frank Kitts another go sometime.

Frank Kitts Market
Tomorrow I'm giving Frank Kitts market another go. This one wil coincide with the Homegrown music festival, which should be fun. I photographed one a few years ago, when it first started, I think; and remember it being a huge success. It was very nice of the market organisers to include some Chromatophobic jewellery in the latest market mailout=]
