These are things <em>they<\/eM> do; check out this list of awesome. <em>That&#8217;s an order.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>JEWELLERY:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Jenny<\/b> comments first, so gets to be first here, and reports that she makes wire elf ears. These are the current favourite with <em>her<\/eM> fandom: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/183415779\/custom-royal-fairy-ear-cuffs?ref=shop_home_feat_3\">Custom Royal Fairy Ear Cuffs on Etsy<\/a>.\n<li><b>Jarandhel Dreamsinger<\/b> hand-builds <a href=\"http:\/\/dreamhart.org\/product-category\/jewelry\/\">a whole bunch of types of pendants<\/a>, mostly along a Tree-of-Life theme. And look &#8211; there&#8217;s also <a href=\"http:\/\/dreamhart.org\/product\/wire-wrapped-tree-of-life-pendant-tutorial\/\">a tutorial<\/a>! Participatory culture, fuck yeah!\n<li><b>Gwendolyn Kestrel<\/b> makes chainmail jewellery, showing mostly at gaming events and craft shows. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/MythicTreasure?ref=hdr_shop_menu\">But she has the Mythic Treasure shop on etsy<\/a> as well.<\/ul>\n<p>MUSIC AND WRITING:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Irfon-Kim Ahmad<\/b> is the electronic madness behind <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ramp-music.net\/\">RAMP Music<\/a>, and he&#8217;s all about the trance and electronica. He also has a big Tumblr fandom, I&#8217;ve seen it. I suspect him of being a Cylon, but don&#8217;t tell him I said that.\n<li><b>Maria-Katriina Lehtinen<\/b> really needs two entries in this list. First, she composes neo-baroque music and performs on the organ. She&#8217;s endlessly frustrated that the people at the cathedral in Vancouver won&#8217;t let her re-tune their organ to <em>better<\/em> frequencies. On top of that, she writes <em>and<\/em> makes stained-glass windows! But she doesn&#8217;t provide links. Take that, commercialism!\n<li><b>Angela Highland<\/b> also writes as <b>Angela Korra&#8217;ti<\/b>, and writes books. Under the Highland name, she&#8217;s behind the high fantasy trilogy <i>Rebels of Adalonia<\/i> for Carina Press. Under the Korra&#8217;ti name, of course, the <i>Free Court of Seattle<\/i>. &#8220;Urban fantasy for the geekily and musically inclined, and I can guarantee you that you won\u2019t find another urban fantasy series anywhere that features a Newfoundlander bouzouki-playing hero as the main lead, an Unseelie Elvis impersonator, and most importantly, a violin-playing heroine who\u2019s a girl of color.&#8221; Find out everything at <a href=\"http:\/\/angelahighland.com\">her professional website<\/a>.\n<li><b>Elizabeth Barrette<\/b> is a poet, and a working poet at that! She also writes books, of course. <a href=\"http:\/\/penultimateproductions.weebly.com\/\">Penultimate Productions<\/a> is the top of the fold, but <a href=\"http:\/\/penultimateproductions.weebly.com\/books-written.html\">a list of her books currently in print is here<\/a>, and she provides <a href=\"http:\/\/penultimateproductions.weebly.com\/hire-me.html\">writing and editing services<\/a>. She actively posts <a href=\"http:\/\/ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com\/profile\">on Livejournal<\/a>, where <a href=\"http:\/\/ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com\/tag\/poem\">she also posts scrapbooked poems<\/a>.\n<li><b>Skellington<\/b> is on the album! She&#8217;s lead fiddle on <i>Kitsune at War<\/i>. But her main band is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PinnipedMusic\">Pinniped<\/a>, a trad band who have a good bit of local traction. You should listen to her stuff!<\/ul>\n<p>PERSONAL ITEMS AND CRAFTS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>JC Brazil<\/b> is a maker of <a href=\"http:\/\/glattapapa.com\">Glatta Papa body butters, lip balms, and moisturisers<\/a>. &#8220;The hair pomade was created when I went through hospital hell and began losing my hair. It worked! Huzzah! When I met my boyfriend who is biracial, and now my husband, he couldn\u2019t find anything natural to help him style his hair and didn\u2019t smell like gummy bears. I offered him my pomade and he\u2019s been using it ever since.&#8221;\n<li><b>Paula Milburn<\/b> makes a huge range of items, and makes them available two different places &#8211; one place for fannish audiences, one for general audiences. The general-audience work lives at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KraftyKatz4K?fref=ts\">KraftyKatz Unique Handmade and Personalised Cards and Gifts<\/a>, while the fannish-friendly projects live at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/4K.KOLLEKTIONZ\/?fref=ts\">4K Kollections<\/a>.<\/ul>\n<p>CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Sunnyjim<\/b> makes All The Things, and seriously, she does, I&#8217;ve seen it. &#8220;The current obsession is Women&#8217;s High Heel Shoes. That&#8217;s right, I&#8217;m a cordwainer \u2013 a person who makes shoes. I also do art quilts, mosaics, stained glass, spinning and weaving, costuming, calligraphy, and the occasional oil painting. As they say at Weta Workshop: Be Creative, and Make Cool Stuff. (Yes, I have the t-shirt.)&#8221;<\/ul>\n<p>FANAC AND CONVENTIONS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Jen Kilmer<\/b> helps make <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conflikt.org\">Conflikt, the Pacific Northwest Filk Music Convention<\/a> &#8211; she&#8217;s chair and head of publications! Go buy a membership and attend, particularly since somebody <eM>cough<\/em> will be having a big CD and book release show there.\n<li><b>Linda Wyatt<\/b> does things with vintage Star Wars memorabilia, Topps cards, and other hockey cards from the 1960s and 1970s. Sadly she did not include a link where I could point you at samples.<\/ul>\n<p>And, finally, of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/music.crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\">we make with the musics<\/a>. I also have a history of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.murkworks.net\/~kahvi\/Safety\/safety.html\">illustration and other arty designy stuff<\/a> and fandoms and houses and a fair bit of <em>science!<\/em>, but mostly these days it&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/music.crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\">about the music<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All of these creative people <a href=\"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/2014\/12\/do-you-make-a-thing-post-in-comments\/\">wrote up all this in their own words in comments<\/a>.
