Tacos ‘n’ Eggrolls Jewelry by Nina Brito:

Well, Basically, I love EVERYTHING handmade. I like to carry through my own personal style whcih may not please everyone, but how boring would the world be if everyone loved the same things? Diversity makes the world go round. If you’re style meshes with mine… hopefully, you can find a treasure in my pieces of ecclectic jewelry. I love to create with color, texture, energy, vintage pieces, new pieces and everything in between. http://www.tacosneggrolls.etsy.com

Not Quite Vintage by Brook Owens:

I have spent my life loving all things vintage. My crafts and every day life have been inspired by the 40’s & 50’s look, leading to my ” Not Quite Vintage” life. A little bit of modern with the nostalgia of a vintage look. Spice up the vixen in you and get dolled up!! http://www.brookowens.etsy.com

Melissa Loschy Designs by Melissa Loschy:

I try to surround myself with wonderful people and that’s how I get inspired to make my pieces. I’m also inspired by the social circumstances and implications of our world. I try to intertwine positive messages and quotes into many of my bags and apparel items. I have great faith in humanity and I hope to represent that in my socially charged art. http://www.melissaloschy.etsy.com

Voz Clothing and Art by Jackie Sepulveda:

Everything is hand painted in my sweatshop of one (well except for the graffiti bangles- those aren’t painted :p ). I scour my area for the best vintage clutches and forgotten goods and give them new life by painting them up. Themes tend to include socially conscious hip hop, punk and graffiti attitudes. http://www.vozclothingandart.etsy.com

  • I second everything in the first Melissa's comment!
    I did Patchwork this year and would totally have done the Block Party too if I knew about it in time! Unique L.A. sent out a mass email promoting Patchwork. Even if it is a similar idea the same group of vendors is doing these different shows. I'm new to this, but it seems that Handmade Brigade, The Long Beach Craft Mafia, Patchwork and Unqiue L.A. are all groups/ events that support one another and come together as a crafty community.
    We come together, we help one another or we get no where.
