Hi all! Brand new member to Art Fair Insiders and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Liane Crigler and I am the owner/metalsmith behind Ten2Midnight Studios. I make textured brass jewelry with a funky, modern edge. I took an over 7 year hiatus from making jewelry and just got back into the game last year. So I am really excited to be part of the group! Thanks for having me!

Hi Liane,
Welcome! It's nice to see another artist from the NW here! I'm also from Portland. Nice website, love your work. You might want to check out the Southwest and Pacific Coast Artist group here on AFI.
Thanks for the welcome Lisa! And for the advice - I did check out the SW & Pacific Coast Artist Group and have just now become a member. Thanks!
Welcome Liane to AFI and your return to the art fair business. It's great to have new people join the group, we love the new blood! Lots of good information on this site, Liane, and many helpful people. Our West Coast membership is growing and you may find people here that you know already. Can you show us your work? What took you away from the business for 7 years?
Thank you! I am happy to show my work. Please take a look at:http://www.ten2midnightstudios.com
In answer to your other question about what took me away from the business - many personal things & life changes took me away from my craft for those years, but the biggest of all those reasons was having and raising my two little boys.
That is a really nice website, Liane, clearly you know what you are doing and have a solid career behind you and ahead of you. That aside, there is nothing more important than the little boys, and it sounds like you've done a solid job of balance -- like you, this is My Time -- and I love what I do. I look forward to your participation here.
Do you plan to participate in the art fairs?
