Last Saturday I spent a long, sunny, happy day at the Bazaar Bizarre in Cleveland. My poor helper — the boy — got sick at the last minute, so I was on my own. Honestly, I think it was for the best — it kept me from wandering too far and shopping too much. That said, in just the booths right around me, I could have done some serious damage to the old wallet. There were so much crafty goodness, I had to bring something home for the sick boy.
The first item is the Hussy. What can I say? I acted like a total stalker fan all day peering across the aisle, keepin' my eye on that hussy in the Purple Hippo Stitches tent. Then I made her mine. I marched right across and said, "I've come for the hussy." I had to fight back the urge to pick up ten more of these sassy cross stitches as gifts. I'm a fan and I'll definitely be back to the Purple Hippo Etsy shop often!
And then… 
On the complete opposite of the silly spectrum, I came home with this gorgeous piece by David DiZinno of Americana Dentata Works. Dave has a huge selection of beautiful wood mosaic sculptures that I think are just so beautiful and unique. Unfortunately he doesn't have a web site, but I'm hoping he'll come for a show in Ann Arbor some time soon!
Hi there I happen to know David Di Zinno he is my half brothers father so step dad kinda I happened across your post. Thank you for likening his art it is amazing what he does with wood.
ReplyDeleteHello. I have spent the afternoon looking online for pieces that David created. Unfortunately, the first time i entered his name today I found his obituary. He passed in April of this year. I have a few things from the Allentown Art Festival in Buffalo, NY that I purchased from him. He was quite good and original in what he created. He took the time to show me the very old woodworking machinery that he worked with. He will be missed. My condolences to his family. The piece you have is beautiful.
