The Deadliest Crafter

Fletcher Farm fields. Shaker Village Site, Albany, NY. Home to many talented artisans and the deadliest crafter. Gusting winds, pouring rains, crashing glass & displays, broken pottery, upside down and torn tents, artists chasing their wind blown work (& tents) across fields, many shaken nerves, nothing that Mother Nature delivered could keep down these crafters and artisans from the selling of their wares. And all of that after staying up all night before a show to produce just a little more product......

Ok, so maybe I'm taking my obsession with the "Deadliest Catch" TV show a bit far but after the last two Saturday shows, where I saw some of the worst winds I've seen in 8 years of peddling soap, some of my fellow craftspeople & myself contemplated calling the Discovery Channel and pitching our own reality TV show to be entitled "The Deadliest Crafter". Maybe it would pay better than slinging soap.......hmmmm.....
