Obvious Diversion

Along with getting brochures out for 2045 this Tuesday’s election, I dropped by Urban Craft Uprising. Described as “Your one stop indie holiday shopping experience”, it was a seriously large event with over 50 artists showing off their work from cards to clothes to plush toys to pet gravestones. The turnout was amazing and the venue packed, amounting to an indie black friday shopping experience. I went looking two things and, sadly, found neither.

The first was a pair of gloves and a matching hat since it suddenly got cold in the city of Seattle. Much to my surprise, both items were either not there or in short supply.

The second is something I’ve been looking for over the last year. About a year ago, I went to I Heart Rummage at the Croc and some guy was selling a t-shirt that had a skull and crossbones design on it, but the skull was replaced with a bunny head and the bones were replaced with carrots. I thought it was pretty cool when I saw it, but of course figured I could find it another time. I haven’t found it since and no amount of googling seems to dig out who the creator was. If anyone knows what I’m talking about, drop me a line.

Here’s a shot of the always-cool Kristen Rask selling her plush donuts from Schmancy.
