“Garlic Rosemary Ale!  This idea was conceived about two months ago.  Perhaps you hadn’t thought of garlic and beer going together, but it has been created.  With a touch of rosemary.  And you’ll have to try it to find out whether it’s the best thing ever, or the most despicable adulteration of beer in history.” -Jacinta Mack
“Garlic Rosemary Brew:  Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before inventing the lightbulb.  We’re 9,999 tries closer to an amazing beer, so buy some beer and support future beer geniuses.”

DAWN STEWART-LOOKKIN : Even though she’s been crafting her whole life, it was only 3 years ago that Dawn taught herself how to crochet using children’s crochet and “how to” books. She has since crocheted original finger puppets, stuffed animal/ornament octopai, neck cozies, scarves & hats. In the summer of ’07, she apprenticed with Bread & Puppet Theater in Vermont where she made her first finger puppets under the essential “Cheap Art Philosphy”- the belief that art is food to feed the soul and should be available & accessible to everyone. She’s excited to keep the spirit of “Cheap Art” alive!

CECE RUSSELL : The journals that I make are all from found/borrowed scraps and tend to hold up under some pretty serious battering so you can take your book wherever and do whatever you want to it and I can promise it won’t get too messed up too fast. Furthermore, I am raising money for my college tuition because I ain’t got none. I’ve also chosen to get this booth for my sheer love of craftiness and the happiness I feel when I make things that are useful. That’s all with Love, Peace and Hairgrease!
