VENDORS FOR 2010 BLOOM BAZAAR

Dulcet Design
Dulcet Design is a line that explores several different media. The primary material used is plexiglass, which is of interest to me be because of its limitless shape, texture and its ability to combine with other materials, shapes and colors. When combined with silver and colorful beads, the possibilities are numerous. Also included in this submission is a line of kitchen and food themed jewelry, including hand made napkins, perfect for a summer-themed party or event. (Alica Kravitz)

Tafi
Tafi is a line of household items that takes an interest in the tactile and sensual in order to add beauty to utilitarian objects. Vases and containers are her main focus. Taking both re-claimed and new glass containers, she adds hand-sewn fabric sleeves that play with various texturing. The sleeves are made out of wool felt and the colorful felts are hand-dyed. The goal is to create pieces that complement the objects it contains, as well as being a desirable stand-alone piece. (Tara Finke)

Projects Agog
projects: a collaborative enterprise, presenting a particular view
agog: very eager or curious to hear or see something, excited, keen, on the edge of one's seat
