such talent in the blogosphere- thanks for setting this up Neil!

By sizzle on 11.30.07 4:24 am

Thank you Neil! Everyone is so talented! I’m having a lot of fun going through everyone’s galleries!

By Kyra on 11.30.07 4:47 am

Omg, you pit me against the infamous Smitten Kitchen? It’s an honor to even be mentioned next to her in your virtual arts & crafts fair.

I enjoyed looking through the gallery, you have a fantastic eye Neil.

This is so cool! I’m in love with Bethany’s kitten magnets, and silly me, I had no idea Ellen Bloom did something other than knit (Can you tell I read too much Crazy Aunt Purl?). Ascender’s tag is inspiring, and I’m honored to have my work in the company of so many great creative types. BTW, that photo of Di Mackey’s? It was taken in my guestroom y’all. I’m SO proud.

Thanks Neil!

By SAJ on 11.30.07 5:32 am

I will get no work done now, with all this BEAUTIFUL art to look at. What an amazing collection!

By Not Fainthearted on 11.30.07 5:36 am

This is so awesome, Neil!

By Bre on 11.30.07 5:45 am

Very cool.

By brettdl on 11.30.07 6:31 am

Those gift tags are MINE MINE MINE!!! Thanks for hosting Neil

By kilax on 11.30.07 6:43 am

Neil, this is such a great idea and I hope if you do it again next year, we get more than two weeks’ notice to put together a spot; I would love to participate next time!

Everyone’s stuff looks awesome - very inspirational!

By Caitlinator on 11.30.07 6:55 am

well you’re certainly right about me feeling like an uncreative loser, so much talent here!
well done on co-ordinating this event.

Wow. I’m impressed. There’s a lot of talent on your blogroll!

I want one of those photographers to mentor me…

By Finn on 11.30.07 8:12 am

Taht is so friggin’ cool.

By churlita on 11.30.07 8:17 am

This is awesome…what amazing work!

Thanks so much for putting it all together!

By Sarah on 11.30.07 8:32 am

Fantastic contributors!! And what a great idea! Seriously, from someone who is mildly crafty, this is a really amazing gesture for the crafty folks and I can’t thank you enough for putting it together. I hope I can participate next year!

By Maryanne aka knittymuggins on 11.30.07 8:37 am

Thank you so much for including my work in your Art fair. The talent here is just staggering!!

Off to browse and drool!

By Lisa Duvall on 11.30.07 8:46 am

Thanks Neil! This was a great idea! You have some talented readers, including me! haha!

By abigail road on 11.30.07 8:47 am

You art god, you.
Thanks for doing this … don’t even ask me why I had 2 Dec as ‘the’ date and that, according to Di time, was Tuesday.

Less of the healing red wine methinks…

By di on 11.30.07 9:05 am

If any of the participants have anything to add, or they want me to change what I said — or the photo — feel free to email me. The post will stay up for the weekend.

By Neil on 11.30.07 9:25 am

Thanks, Neil for adding my artwork to the queue! I was surprised to see one of my little collages from my series, “The Fu** Stops Here” on your blog!
Happy Chanukah!

By Ellen Bloom on 11.30.07 9:33 am

Thank you, Neil!! I am honored to be featured in your Art Fair.

(I think James Taylor grabbed my ass when I was on my way for a bagel.)

By Jurgen Nation on 11.30.07 10:22 am

Thanks for making me your poster girl! I’d like to add that my photo was taken by Joe Selkey of Peek Photography.

By Erin on 11.30.07 10:32 am

Thanks, Neil! So many talented readers.

Damn, bloggers are a gifted artistic bunch. I’ll take two of each.

And one James Taylor. No bow required.

Neil…who knew a nice Jewish boy from N.Y. could bring people together from all over the world like this. You are a Jewish Angel:)

By cruisin-mom on 11.30.07 3:40 pm

You always have such great ideas, Neil. It has been really cool checking out the other artists. I am constantly in awe of all of the talent I see online. It also helps to have visuals of names I often read in your comments.

By 180/360 on 11.30.07 3:54 pm

Love it love it love it, thanks!

By Aimee Greeblemonkey on 11.30.07 4:16 pm

This is the coolest idea Neil! Thanks for putting this together.

By Jill - GlossyVeneer on 11.30.07 5:20 pm

Neil -
You and your fellow bloggers are awesome!! The beautiful work featured here makes me aspire to greater heights in my pursuit of arts & crafts excellence. I hope to one be just half as creative as you all are. (yes, you too Neil. I wish I could express myself as well as you do on the page.)

By Christine on 11.30.07 5:36 pm

Thanks, Neil. Great group you have here

By Leesa on 11.30.07 6:16 pm

This is a fabulous idea! You’ve featured so many talented artists. Thanks you!

By Geeky Tai-Tai on 11.30.07 7:02 pm

Thanks for including one of my favorite purses. I appreciate all the exposure I can get. And reading another great blog is the perfect excuse to put off my housework. I’m off to check out the other artists.

By bluejaye on 11.30.07 7:31 pm

Great work Neil! I already went the Heifer route for this Christmas, but I love the whole buy handmade pledge.

By Frida on 11.30.07 7:48 pm

You ROCK!! I can’t wait to check out all of these sites. If I seem to be logged onto your site for days, it’s cause I’m taking my time.

By MammaLoves on 11.30.07 10:07 pm

I just was going through your sites again. Boy, you guys are talented! And so varied. The one photo I put up for each of you doesn’t do your work justice. Maybe I shouldn’t be saying which is my favorite, but I just love that final sculpture of that heifer. It looks so real!

Remember the Holiday concert is coming up on December 10th! Any questions, just email me.

By Neil on 12.01.07 12:40 am

wow! so much crafty goodness out in the blogosphere - thanks for including my photo store, Neil, you’re a god (but i know you already know that ;-)xo

By susannah on 12.01.07 6:22 am

YOU ROCK!

By Caron on 12.01.07 6:46 am

Neil — you’re the best virtual holiday event organizer I know.

By Caryn on 12.01.07 7:46 am

I wish I were craftier; the only thing I could do would be to sell kisses for $5!!

By chantel on 12.01.07 2:57 pm

Chantel — Only five bucks? I think you’re going to have a busy Christmas!

By Neil on 12.01.07 3:12 pm

Neil, you are the best blog pimp EVER. This is a great idea, and I’m impressed by all the talent. And you know how I hate to be positive …

I’m going to go kick a puppy now.

By cookiebitch on 12.01.07 10:27 pm

No, the best blog pimp EVER would get 25% of all sales and would “own” all the women on the list. Alas… I’m a blog pimp with a heart of gold, with none of the real fun of being a pimp. I don’t even have a cool pimp hat. And what pimp drives a hybrid?

By Neil on 12.01.07 10:45 pm

FABULOUS! Some of my favs & other brilliant souls. You da’ man Neil. xx, JP/deb

By JanePoe (aka Deborah) on 12.01.07 10:58 pm

So I guess the rumors of the reunited Led Zeppelin playing your main stage turned out to be untrue.

All kidding aside, this is a very nice thing you’re doing for your readers. And I can vouch that Dave’s Bad Monkey (and the rest of his shirts) are top notch!

By Chag on 12.02.07 6:37 am

This is a great idea. I’m afraid my artistic limitations would prevent me from participating in something like this though. I’m no artist. I just blog here.:)

By Janet on 12.02.07 8:22 am

damn…that is some great stuff and a great idea! I’m going back now to look some more…click more links…I could be here awhile!
