Hello lovelies, 

it's been two exhausting weekends (by the time I post this it's probably already a month later lol).

First I was vending at Slay! and then the week afterwards at Lupins Market. I'm relieved it's over now and I can go back to being lazy. Or, lazier, as more markets are waiting but they are still far away. The next one will be ACC - Austrian Comic con in May.

SLAY! Queer Art Market

This small market took place at Ullmannstraße 45 in the 15th district of Vienna. The place is on the smaller side but still had enough space for various artists and their booths. A small kitchen was included too and my partner got free coffee all weekend long by our organizers and hosts Sev and Ivo. The fee for selling was only 20€ and that was super cheap. 

Last time, Slay Market was full with people and I expected way less as a convention was held at the same time. But that didn't really stop the people from coming and I was positively surprised. 

The market lasted for two days and here are both of my outifts. 

 I always try to keep my hands busy even during the markets.

The light was no really good as we all had thick curtains infront of the windows. 

And at the end of day two, we decided to get dominos pizza. Nom nom.

This is not my only purchase but I forgot to take pictures of the others ones:

I also got an angel shaker, a picture and some dnd stickers.
 

Lupin's market

This market was bigger in size but smaller in revenue and guests. I had the feeling that most guests were over the age of 50 and a bit confused by the glittery or lgbt friendly booths. As the market before, we also got free drinks and all artists got free snacks. Big, big plus. 

The fee for the booth was 35€ and quite affordable too. 

On the first day there was a lottery with most of the artists winning most of the prizes. We paid 10€ for 10 lottery tickets and got this nice little sea painting as a present, which would have been 10€ too. lol.

 

Not sure what I was laughing about here but I think my partner said something silly.

  And here is the outfit for day 2. I wore my Angelic pretty lemon dress again, as it's the cutest.

keeping my hands busy again!

While there were not as many people at Lupin's markt, the whole vibe was amazing. I enjoyed my time there, plus I also bought some items. 

 

I am especially fond of my glittering dice set from dungeon master. The two rings and bracelets are from alien moe and the yellow chicken was made by Flo from Froggy crochet. I can't remember where I got the cake ring as it was a present.

And that's it for now. 

I will be in Japan at the end of March and I am so excited about the trip. See you again after I return,

Hello lovelies,

on Saturday 23rd of September, I attended a Viennese queer art market called "Slay Market #5".

The market was organized by @ Ivo_Lederer on Instagram and it took place at "Blauer Salon" near Pilgramgasse in Vienna. I had a cute round table next to the window and it was perfect for displaying my items. It doesn't look like a lot in the pictures, but remember that every piece is handmade in about 10min (bracelets) to 4 hours (the sailor moon brooches). A lot of my life time is on that table. lol

 

The booth was located near the kitchen on a round table, next to Lisa's munchies (very bad decision, we ate about 3-4 cookies each) and Erik Pekny @zebrakrebs on Instagram. 

Here are two of the delicious cookies we had: Poppyseed and apricot. Yum, yum!

All cookies are made by Lisa herself and they are vegan and cost 3,20€ per piece.

I forgot to take more pictures and most of the time, there where people at my booth and I couldn't leave anyway. 

One aspect I loved about the art market was the sense of community and overall queerness. We immediately chatted with the people around us and it was so easy, to get to know each other. 

In the end, I had a really nice event and I want to thank all of my friends and customer who came and  bought something. Your support means a lot! 

All the best,

Auris Lothol
