<br />
It was a fantastic mix of cosplay costumes, events and cool handmade items for Steampunk lovers. People flew in from all corners of the globe to attend this unique event which we've heard is one of the largest Steampunk Conventions in the world!<br />
<br />
Below is the cover of the catalog which features the amazing work of Brian Kesinger "Steampunk Art that celebrates Victorian fashion and beauty with a dash of geekiness." <a href="http://www.bkartonline.com/" target="_blank">www.bkartonline.com .</a><br />
The show was put on by Arizona Steampunk Society.<br />

Although I didn't get to venture much out of my booth, the events book showed lots to do each and every hour including prop making workshops, tea dueling, photo ops, corpsing for dummies, steampunk makeup and kids zone just to name a few.</div>

Old Tucson Studios was the perfect setting for this western inspired event. Over 300 films/ tv shows were shot here and when you see some of our photos you will see why. Of course these are just a snippet of what you would see if you ventured to this great destination spot yourself. Kinda makes you want to hop on a plane and head on over to Tucson, doesn't it?!</div>

Then, of course, the people made the event even more awesome! The majority of folks showed up in their cosplay ready for action. The beauty of Steampunk is that it runs the gamut from a more traditional Steampunk approach to crossing over into other universes like Anime, Marvel, carnival and many many more worlds, so it's not surprising to see blue hair and striped stockings or cowboys with goggles.</div>

The musical lineup included some of the best in the Steampunk world including evening concerts of : The Cog is Dead, Steam Powered Giraffe, Frenchy and the Punk, and Abney Park. I had the fortune of watching Deus Ex Vapore Machina or DEVM on Sunday. Those ladies really knew how to put on a show. Here are a few pictures of them in action.</div>

The show is focused on vintage motorcycles and creative garage builders who get their inspiration from those bikes from the past. The festival has a definite 70's vibe. Lots of hair (beards and long hair), short shorts, skin and tattoos. Custom parts, leather tooled seats and sculpted, painted tanks.</div>

I would say that is quite a leap from two years ago when we first started showing there with around 35,000 people and last year at 55,000.<br />
<br />
We didn't see quite as many costumes this year, but the ones we did see were as good as ever!<br />
<br />
Of course it wouldn't be Phoenix Comicon without a fire drill at an unexpected time. This year it happened during setup. Apparently one of the food vendors set off the smoke alarm and we were all rushed out of the building. The staff got us out and back to our booths in a matter of half an hour, but it threw many vendors off who were frantically still trying to prepare for the big weekend.<br />
<br />
We showed a small amount of our WATTO Distinctive Metal Wear goods www.wattoonline.com, a selection of my WATTO's Wife cameo jewelry and our Outlaw Kritters line. Next year we hope to have 2 booths so we can spread out and be less confusing.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently (April 5-6) we participated in Tucson's very first Hullabaloo festival at Armory Park. You can visit the website here: <a href="http://tucsonhullabaloo.com/" target="_blank">tucsonhullabaloo</a></span></div>

It was really more like a bunch of hippies and gypsies hanging out in the park. Regardless, I like the name. It's fun and there was a bit of hooplah going on including giant puppets, bouncy castles and a petting farm.</span></div>
<div class="bottom_entry" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 3px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The giant puppets paraded about the park accompanied by laughing and dancing children. It was all very joyful.</span></div>

Thanks to the great imagination of Greg Masterson, one of our buckles was reworked into a cool art piece for his bike. He removed the back and chromed it. Here are the results. But, first check out his bad ass wheels!<br />

Once Greg had his bike decked out he decided he'd have WATTO make him a few more aliens and this time he had a custom job done so that he wouldn't have to remove the buckle portion. We created the aliens ready to attach. The results were out of this world. Thanks Greg!<br />

We'll be showing both <b>WATTO and WATTO's Wife </b>goodies at some of the shows so I'm (Mary - WATTO's Wife) busy making some new goodies to fill the booth with a little girlie rebel goodness!<br />
<br />
Just in case you aren't familiar with us. <b>Jon WATTO Watson</b> is my hubby and metal worker extraordinaire! We have a line of metal buckles, key chains, money clips and home decor all handmade by him. You can find these at <a href="http://wattoonline.com/" target="_blank">wattoonline.com</a>.<br />

<b>WATTO's Wife </b>is my line of jewelry that are assembled from skulls, charms and cameos. It is jewelry for the rebel in you!
Here are a few of the new items I've been working on.

Emma and Shimon began their journey into stardom way back in 1997 while still in highschool. They made their stake in 2006 with the song "Sll the Same" while still in Sydney. Mark ended up joining them once they moved to the states.<br />

The history of the shape is what I find particulariy interesting. Although it is a somewhat stylized representation of the actual human heart organ, it's origin is said to be a bit more unique than that explanation.<br />
<br />
It has been noted that ancient peoples used the seed of the silphium plant as and herbal contraceptive. (.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_(symbol) ) The shape of the seed resembles and upside down heart. It can be viewed at <a href="http://extension.missouri.edu/publications/DisplayPub.aspx?P=IPM1023-9">http://extension.missouri.edu/publications/DisplayPub.aspx?P=IPM1023-9</a>.<br />
<br />
The spiral has been noted as a symbol of bringing order to chaos, eternity and brining order out of chaos.<br />

<strong><u>Skulls and Tattoos</u></strong></div>

<b><u>What it Means</u></b></div>
</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<div style="border: currentColor;">
The fleur-de-lis is a beautiful and popular symbol worn by both men and women. Derived from the French word for <b>fleur</b> <i>"flowe</i>r" and <b>lis</b> <i>"lily,"</i> it is a stylized version of the actual lily flower. It has been used throughout time in many cultures and time periods.</div>

<b><u>Heraldry</u></b></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
This symbol has been used in heraldry over the centuries on many European coat of arms and featured in the Crown Jewels of England and Scotland. However, it is mainly associated with the French monarchy and has been used on French postage stamps though it has never become an official symbol of the French republic. </div>
</div>
<br />
The continued association with France carried over in North America were the symbol was associated with areas settled by the French such as St. Louis, Louisville, Louisiana and Quebec.<br />
<br />
One theory is that the 3 leaves of the fleur-de-lis represent the three medieval classes: the workers, fighters and prayers.<br />

<b><u>Religious Affiliation</u></b><br />
The fleur-d-lis has also been seen as a symbol of purity and chastity as well as female virtue and spirituality. The Virgin Mary was often depicted holding a lily and the fleur-de-lis was seen as a decorative element in the image either in a sceptre or within the ornamentation some where in the painting.<br />
<br />
Similar to the Irish Shamrock, the French fleur-de-lis depicted the Holy Trinity with the three petals and the band on the bottom symbolizing the Virgin Mary. <br />

<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Are a <strong>Shamrock</strong> and a <strong>4-leaf Clover</strong> the same thing? Well after much research I’m still confused. Some say a shamrock is a 3-leaf clover. Some say a 4-leaf clover could be considered a shamrock with 4 leaves. In any case a shamrock is a clover, but for most Irish, the 3-leaf clover is considered the shamrock and the 4-leaf clover is NOT considered a shamrock, but is considered <strong>LUCK</strong>Y because it is rare. </div>

<div style="border: currentColor;">
WATTO was told by many of our customers that we needed to add a 3-leaf clover to our handmade belt buckle and accessory line as we only had a 4-leaf clover (that we were then calling a shamrock). We’ve now added both the 3-leaf (Shamrock) and the 4-leaf Clover to our line to satisfy everyone!<em> (see end of blog for details.)</em></div>
<br />
<div style="border: currentColor;">
There are so many reasons why the shamrock is linked to Ireland. Although the harp is the official symbol of Ireland, the shamrock is still the most recognized symbol of Ireland. Here are a few reasons why.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<strong><u>Symbolism</u></strong></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Shamrock is derived from the Irish word “seamrog” meaning “summer plant” or “little clover” and was said to be a symbol of life.</div>

<u><strong>The Druids</strong></u><br />
One of the first to be linked to the Shamrock were The Druids. They were and indigenous people of Ireland and their Celtic religion held the number three a mystical number. The three petals that formed a triad led the Druids to hold this little gem as sacred.<br />

<u><strong>St. Patrick</strong></u> <br />
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Way back in Ireland around the 5th century or so, St. Patrick was going about his business spreading the word of Christianity. Now it's always easier to show things with an image and particularly in those days when people were a little less educated and needed simple stories or visuals to understand things. And let’s face it; religion can be a little complex. </div>

So, St. Patrick spied a 3-leaf clover and said to himself, “Ahha, this little lovely creation can help me explain the meaning of the Holy Trinity.” Therefore, he went on to show the people how each leaf symbolized one aspect of the Holy Trinity- The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. Three separate leaves, but one stem. It was also said to symbolize the three theological virtues in Corinthians 13:13- Faith, Hope and Love.</div>

<strong><u>Ireland Rebels</u></strong></div>
<br />
Who would have known this little green plant had so much power. In the 19th century the shamrock was seen as a sign of rebellion against the English. If caught wearing the symbol, it was rumored that an Irish man could be hung. Since then it has been used as a symbol in Irish pubs to show the warmth and welcoming of the establishment. <br />

If you are going out hunting for gold, make sure to take a Shamrock with you. Apparently it has magical powers against the Leprechauns who guard the gold, and will turn to trickery or magic if you capture them to find the gold’s whereabouts. Only the Shamrock can undo the spell.</div>

<strong>Why is the 4-leaf Clover considered Lucky? </strong><br />
Well, the 4-leaf clover is still the rare one, and so finding one in a clover patch would be considered lucky. Remember looking for those as kids and making clover necklaces? Or, maybe we only did that in the Midwest. <br />
<br />
The four petals stand for: <strong>HOPE, FAITH, LOVE, and the 4th petal for LUCK</strong>!<br />

<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">This month's topic is IF THERE WERE A MASTER ARTIST YOU COULD STUDY UNDER, WHO WOULD THEY BE.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm writing this one for both Jon and myself since we are both artists (though my artistery has been limited lately to running the business).</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">JON: </span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jon would love to study under an artist and cartoonist named "Big Daddy" Ed Roth. Jon has a passion for motorcycles and custom-anything-that moves. Ed was a custom car builder who influenced the hot-rod movement of the 1960's.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Although best known for his wacky character Rat Fink, Ed also was a huge influence on the hot rod movement turning these vehicles into works of functional art. </span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You can see his creations at </span><a href="http://www.ratfink.com/"><span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">http://www.ratfink.com/</span></a><span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">MARY:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: white;">As I wrote in my previous blog, I went to college for graphic design and painting. My favorites always have been and always will be post-impressionist painter Paul <strong> Cézanne</strong> who bridged the gap between 19th century Impressionism and 20th century Cubism. Although Matisse holds a high second to <strong> Cézanne</strong> for me. I'm drawn to their both painterly styles and graphic breakdowns of objects and forms. You can see more of the history of this great master and view some of his works at </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_C%C3%A9zanne"><span style="color: white;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_C%C3%A9zanne</span></a><span style="color: white;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another painter with whom I'd love to study with for technique is John Singer Sargent. Although I guess he is considered under the movement of Realism, I still consider his Impressionism influence to be what I love the most. His rich juicy use of paint and his exquiste drawing ability wow me. I do not myself choose to or want to paint in this manner, but I would like to have the knowledge and skill level to do so in order to translate it into my own style. I also love how he captures the romantism in every painting he does. They look mysterious yet beautiful. You can find out more info on him or read about his works at </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Singer_Sargent"><span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Singer_Sargent</span></a><br />

<strong><u>JON'S STORY</u></strong></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Jon Watson, grew up in the South, went into the army at 17 and then off to design school. For over 15 years he was a graphic designer and worked at many well established firms. I must say, not being biased or anything, but he was a kickass designer and very good illustrator to boot. </div>

Jon's first love (I think maybe even a little more than me) is motorcycles. In fact when we met, we moved out West so he could go to motorcycle mechanic school, but he soon found that being a mechanic sucked the fun out of his passion, so he went back to graphic design. </div>

After a few more years of bouncing from job to freelance to design firm, he got bored of sitting behind a computer. At the time I (Mary Spencer-Watson) had a very good job making a decent income, so I told him to shoot for his dreams. Do whatever he wished. He toyed with lots of different ideas including being a landscape designer. </div>
</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Somehow he came across the idea of metal. He'd always enjoyed working with his hands and making things more than sitting still so it sounded like a good idea. We looked into classes for him to take at the local university. But, one day he came home and told me he found a metal show and asked if they needed an apprentice. Strange enough they did. The job paid less than $10 an hour, but it beat actually paying for shcool and he'd be learning first hand. We decided he'd go for it. He quit his job and was ready to start. The next day the guys called him back and told him he couldn't hire him. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to pay him. So, Jon worked for free for something like 6-9 months then got hired on and worked there for maybe 2 years. That was in 2005. </div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<div style="border: currentColor;">
That's how he started in metal. He soon was making amazing scluptures and I knew he'd found his calling!In 2007 he bought his own equipment and we started a company called The Metal Gardener.</div>

Interestingly enough, it was something I had wanted to do in highschool, then forgot about it. I only know this because we had to write a letter to ourselves at the beginning of our senior year, then we received it when we graduated. I completely forgot about it until years later after I had already left Hallmark I happened upon it. Strange, but true! </div>

I was lucky, I got to travel all over the country and even to Europe to research since this was before the internet (am I dating myself). Even though I didn't do art myself, I worked with artists and photographers, writers and editors and people from marketing, accounting and many other business functions. It was the ultimate coorporate job complete with a cafeteria, great 401K and lots of people to learn from. </div>

Once I hit 30 I ventured off to Atlanta to pursue a freelance career. In what I wasn't sure. I worked as a floral designe, graphic designer, prop artist and faux painter. That's when I met Jon. <br />

We moved out to Arizona for his motorcycle schooling and I worked for Lisa Frank ( a little girl's stationery and craft company) as a craft artist. I got to make beaded jewelry, yarn, and other craft product for kids as well as write the instructions. I also worked with the photogrpaher to style the girls for photoshoots. </div>

<div style="border: currentColor;">
I left there and worked as a graphic designer for several years at a printer which was great because I learned a ton about prepress, and since it wasn't a design firm, I pretty much got to design as I wished without much direction. I worked on some fun pieces there. </div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
I then worked for a puzzle company "MasterPieces Puzzle Company" for over 5 years. I was fortunate enough to start their board game division as a Product manager and worked with game developers all over the country. This was too fun since I held focus grops with kids to play the games and see if they liked them or not. Plus I went on several trips to China and learned to work with foreign vendors. <br />

Finally I moved to a Michigan based company that had it's kid's craft and stationery divisions in Tucson called Colorbk. I was the Senior Product Manager. This job was more about costing and workign with our China office and far less creative than my other jobs had been, but it helped me learn more about profit margins and how much my lines were actually making. I worked there less than a year when the company abruptly shut it's Tucson office and I was laid off. This was in Nov of 08. I stuck around until Feb to help with their transition and it gave me time to consider my options. </div>

I took this as the opportunity to do what I'd always dreamt of doing. Start my own business. I wasn't sure what it was going to be until Jon walked in one day with a metal buckle he had made. That was it, a handmade metal accessories line. We launched a full line of buckles at the Pool Tradeshow (affiliated with MAGIC one of the largest fashion tradeshows in the country in Las Vegas). </div>

<div style="border: currentColor;">

</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<div style="border: currentColor;">
We're still working diligently to make a go of it. Every job we've had has given us the confidence and ability to begin our own thing. It's beeen such a great journey and we hope to continue learning and exploring. Jon and I couldn't be happier with how things have turned out! </div>

<div style="border: currentColor;">
Together we make a great team, and hope you enjoy watching our adventure as we expand our business and follow our dreams!</div>

We headed into the trailer and they all introduced themselves to us and thanked US for coming. Imagine. Well, we did come bearing gifts so I guess we were more than the normal fan. We brought along some buckles chains and armbands and let the guys go through them. Eric Bass already owned our horseshoe buckle.

<br />
He was right near the intersection so cars were making their way around him as he frantically was checking his engine and whatever else is under the hood. (I'm an expert mechanic if you can't tell).<br />
<br />
People were getting irritated because he was in the way. His car was a bit beat up and he looked frazzled. I thought to myself." Poor guy, you know you really should put your hazards on or you might get hit." I thought about yelling that out the window, but I was too far up the way and who was I to tell the guy what to do. I mean what could I do to help him. I know nothing about cars. I suppose I could have asked if he wanted to use my phone to call someone, but I figured he had a phone and besides he looked like he knew what he was doing .... kinda.<br />
<br />
So, along comes this weathered old man, tanned from too much time in the sun, carrying his orange backpack. I assumed he was homeless from his dress and mannerisms. <br />
<br />
He looked determined, with eyebrows furrowed as he beelined straight for the guy with car trouble. Surely he wasn't going to ask him for money, I though to myself. I was intrigued. This all happened while the light was red, mind you.<br />
<br />
This beaten down man, removed his backpack and set it along side the road and asked the driver if it was car trouble. He immediately dug into the engine checking and searching for the problem.<br />
<br />
The light turned green and as I rode off, I don't know if the man was able to help the driver or not, but the important thing is that he tried. As the rest of us rode along consumed with our jobs, our lives, our next meal, this man who appeared to have nothing, had more than all of us. <br />
<br />
I wondered what his life had been like. How did he know how to fix a car and why was he now without a home.What a blessing he gave to me today and I am humbled.WATTOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06036728213763757307noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045950839441382157.post-33805914854209307942010-09-22T16:06:00.000-07:002010-09-22T16:06:15.951-07:00Swingers Diner<em>Diners & Coffee Shops, American (Traditional) </em><br />

On our last trip to LA, Jon and I spent a lot of time at Swingers diner for our breakfast and dinners. It's a funky classic diner with great food and good prices. It's the kind of diner they make movies of, and in fact it is the favorite hot spot for many a celeb. <br />
<br />
I highly reccommend their early bird special of eggs any way you like, sausage or bacon and French toast. The French toast is absolutely to die for. MMMM mmmmm I'm still remembering its melt in your mouth goodness. I also had the Mediterranian platter for dinner including scrumptious hummus. <br />
<br />
Next time you're in LA check it out. <br />

<br />
Bevin Hamilton and Lisa Donnelly are both from Kansas originally. They've known eachother for years and recently reconnected in 2009 to start their own band. We've had the pleasure of connecting with Bevin through Backstage Artist Lounge while she was dancing for Motley Crue.<br />
<br />
Their opening night was at the Viper Room on Sunset Strip. Look for more to come from these gals! They are HOT!<br />
