At
the GBK Gift Lounge for the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards. My shoe!
In the
hands of a celebrity in Hollywood! Lorraine Bracco was Oscar-nominated
for her performance as Ray Liotta's big-spending Mafioso wife in
Goodfellas, and has been Emmy-nominated several times playing Dr. Melfi,
psychiatrist to the Mafia boss on The Sopranos. Not sure why she only
had one shoe, but hey, I don't care either, she really liked them, and
that is the main thing!
The celebrities seemed to love that rather than see each other as rivals, we have come together as a community, offering help, encouragement, suggestions and support to one another.
As artists, many of us struggle with insecurity and self-doubt. Many of our members have physical or mental illness and often suffer in isolation. To have a haven where we are welcomed and our efforts valued is a huge boon, especially when friends and family don't understand the amount of work we put in, tell us to stop wasting our time or refer to it condecendingly as our 'little hobby'.

How Cool Are These Shoes!
I am LOVING the way these came up. I have wanted to see TropicalDog shoes ever since Zazzle introduced the Keds custom range, and here they are! They look justl like they do on the site too, with very little colour shift or fading, I am pleased to say. This is so exciting to me, to see this design finally out of my head and on actual clothing, after years of seeing it in my head. Next will be a vest I think, if I can sort out the uploading issues I am having with Spoonflower. I love modern technology but some days I really hate it too.

Where Has The Time Gone?
I can't believe the Emmys are nearly here. Trying to set this site up properly has been doing my head in. My poor artistic brain doesn't like coping with programmer mindset. Going in circles trying to get a blog page and decent photo gallery on here. I must remember to breathe and get away from in front of this box before I become lost again.
I'm so excited!
Emmy Awards Gift Lounge
The IndiExhibit will be participating in the GBK Productions Gifting Suite for the Emmy Awards in September and I am having a 2 day display! I will be showing off my TropicalDog Keds, and gifting the celebs with a handmade broach featuring the same design.
My mum will be so proud.
The first edition of the IndiExhibit Magazine is about to go to print, and will be added to all swag and press bags for the next two shows, plus any mini events too. I decided to do a full page ad, and I am very happy with what I came up with to represent myself. I can't wait to see it!
IndiExhibit Buzz
Inside Edition have contacted us about featuring us on their show.

Our gift bags were seen at the True Blood set, and were very favourably commented on by many people.

Members have also been generously donating goods to charity, helping to raise money and bring sunshine to those in need.
My first foray with The IndiExhibit was to the 2010 ESPY Awards, held at the Playboy Mansion. It was a good learning experience for the group, even though I don't think it was a very good fit for our products.
And the award goes to...
Well,
I don't know who the awards went to, but at the end of the night my
infant suit went to the security guard who had admired it greatly, for
his grandaughter. I hope he got much enjoyment out of it.
