Accessorize with Toys!!!

Another craft fair, another workshop...This past weekend emiko oye and I did our Accessorize with Toys workshop at the Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco. We had tons of fun. And we loved working with the many talented crafters that came along. There were many fun charm bracelets and key rings created over the weekend. Here are some pictures of us in action and some of our renegade crafters with their creations.
