Hello Team Rad!

just a quick note to let you all know that i’ll be at One of A Kind in Vancouver this year,

from December 8-11th at the fabulous Vancouver Convention Centre, located right downtown at 1055 Canada Place!

Join me in celebrating and supporting over 300 independant artisans and craftspeople!

the link is here: One of a Kind

To help you plan your trip, you can browse all the artisans by category, name, or medium, and make note of their locations on the floor plan; we’ll be in E27, right by the wine bar (yes!!!!)

thank you all for all of your support this year, and hope to see you at One of A Kind!
all the best,

Hello everyone, and here’s wishing you a happy middle of  February! it’s half over!

In the last month, i’ve learned and performed an entire album by They Might Be Giants, participated in several Victoria Flea Markets, and just this past weekend, helped out my most favourite group of burlesque performers, the Cheesecake Burlesque Revue!

Looking forward, this week i’ll be doing brolesque (it’s a bit gender-bendy) at Logan’s Tavern of the Damned for a fabulous event called Girls Girls Girls, an annual event organized by the inimitable J. McLaughlin and Sarah Rhude. Two days later, on saturday February 19th, i’ll be debuting a femme burleque solo(!) as well as playing Maya Papaya‘s cheating husband in Burlesque-o-rama, at the Victoria Event Centre!

Tired yet?! pfffft-try to keep up! *laugh* just kidding- ok, and the last-(oh, wait, second to last) event in February, i’ll be selling some fantastic vintage clothing, accessories and Radjuli Custom Designs at the Vintageous Fair at the Fernwood Community Centre on february 26. Later that night will be  the first performance in 2011 of Ballista, the heaviest stoner rock to come out of Victoria since…well…i’m not sure, i’ve only lived here 4 years and i can’t remember ever seeing a really heavy band here. But could be just because i don’t really get out much *laugh*

At the show, we’ll be debuting our new bassmaster-tyler piercy- as we open up a killer lineup of Rorschach, Mendozza and my favourite shredders from Vancouver, Ancients!

well, that’s all for now, hope to see you out and about-i’ll be a busy, busy Radjuli for the next 3 months!

love love love,

and thank you for all that you do!

Just wanted to report to all my fans that I had a lovely time at the Make It show in Calgary! It was located in the beautiful Chinese cultural centre right downtown! Everyone was so great.

There were so many talented people there selling their goodies! I have to admit, I cheated a little and did some lovely trades.

I want to thank all the artists at the show for your support and awesomeness! I especially want to thank:

Micheal Gunn of Hippie Hunter Designs

Robin of Status Manus

the wonderful goldsmith and designer Jocelyn Henderson

And last but not least, the grand textile designer Giulia Fatica

Guess what?!? I’m also going to be at the Make It Show in Edmonton on November 25th to the 28th! Check out the Show here!

While I have your attention, here are some of the accessories I’ll be carrying. The time of the year here to celebrate the holidays with our loved ones and what’s a better gift then something handmade… maybe something like this…
