Report on World Maker Faire NY: Round 1

I’m going to keep the words to a minimum with the weak excuse that because I talked so much last Saturday and Sunday at Maker Faire that my voice is a little hoarse. (Yes, I’m choosing to completely ignore the fact that typing shouldn’t pose a problem to my vocal cords unless I read aloud to myself as I type…which I sometimes do.) Without further ado, please enjoy “My Weekend at World Maker Faire” in photos (with captions).

A nice verb that sums up the weekend.

A young fashionista generously shared sketches from her next collection.

I ate a lot of vegan paella (in the far vats). Oh, thee giant pans of paella, how I miss thee already.

Bicycle powered guitar jams! Sweet.

I refashioned T-shirts with new friend Dia in the parking lot!

I signed books for ladies wearing cool DIYed tank tops!

I spied T-shirt knitting yarn at the {NewNew} Collective!

The noisy, noisy, super amazing Jet Ponies by Madagascar Institute!

Refashioned more T-shirts with readers!

Signed more books, too!

My friend Kristina took a break from teaching knitting at the National Needle Art Association to witness the Squiggle Bot from Randy Sarafan’s 62 Projects to Make with a Dead Computer make her a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Then her daughter made this Flutter By, Butterfly from 10-Minute Puppets with author Noel MacNeal .

Stay tuned for more tomorrow!
