I had an AMAZING time as always at the NYC World Maker Faire, on September 26 & 27!

The last few weeks leading up to the NYC Maker Faire were blur of drawing and getting ready! Working on an NYC-themed pop up of all my favourite places in the city was a highlight - as was visiting each once we arrived!
Checking out my folds and inserts.
The 5 hour delay at the airport ended up being the perfect production space: we settled in with coffee and got to folding!

One of the highlights every year is meeting other enthusiastic makers: artists and illustrators; an epic insta-soap-workshop run by a trio of friendly Texans; 3D printers working on letterpress and gear-driven trebuchets; the world's tiniest CEO walking around selling his self-published book. It's such a treasure to be surrounded by creative spirits!
Setting up next to Shane Evan's 30 foot tall Resurrection Robot, made out of recycled planes, was definitely a highlight!

& The Best in Class Award!
While at the Faire, I worked along on a book of all the creative Maker
ventures happening all around us: the LifeSize Mousetrap, making rockets
underneath actual rockets, puppet-building near the UniSphere, and of
course POP UP BOOKS!!!!

Getting oriented at the Maker Faire!
And my pop up map of what I saw that weekend - thanks to all the Makers who came and made their own with me!!
Thanks to all the Makers, movers and shakers, colouring enthusiasts and general awesome people who I got to say hello to!!! See you next year!!
