I had a great time vending at Monster-Con 2014 at the Wonderland Mall in San Antonio, TX!  This was my second Monster-Con and once again the costumes were great, lots of fabulous artists, so many awesome toy and collectible vendors... I definitely spent too much money.  I had a booth there with all my organic herbal goods, handcrafted jewelry, and Day of the Dead artwork.  There were numerous fantastic costumes but my favorite by far was the Predator. The guy was huge and had all the moves down.  monster-con.com/

Hello!  This is Grimdeva of Cauldron Craft Oddities.  I was just interviewed by Mystic Seekers, a lovely paranormal and ghost hunting show on Tenacity Radio.  They are really interested in Spiritual Practitioners and where to buy authentic goods.  I discussed the many awesome shops on Etsy and our team here, as well as my own arts and practice.  I am on episode 11 which is described as an "interview Jana Rowntree (aka Grimdeva), talented miniature and Green Witch artist. We'll be discussing Jana's work, where she draws inspiration, and other fun witchy topics. #11 show Hosted by: Mambo LaReina and Pixie DeLeon"

It's official now! I will be vending at Scarefest IV: a tribute to 80's Horror!!!

Visit www.scarefestcon.com/ for full details.



Scarefest is a yearly horror and paranormal convention held in Lexington, Kentucky.    I'm so excited! Elvira will be there... OMG.  The convention had a very cool line up last year including the Ghost Adventures guys, Danny Trejo (you know, Machete? the hot Mexican with all the knives and tattoos?), actors from Terminator, Preditor, various hit tv paranormal shows, movie artists and costume designers, the huge guys that play the movie monsters like Jason...  Several of these stars will be back this year as well as numerous well known psychics and demonologists like John Zaffis and Chip Cofee (sp?).  This year there will be a costume ball, a zombie wedding, and so much more.



We're turning it into the year's family vacation. I was contacted to vend after one of the directors saw some of my jewelry on Etsy. I probably will be focusing on fashion accessories and herbcrafts rather than on miniatures at this event but I'll take a few pieces, like my zombie cow. I've only vended much smaller local events in the past. This is a whole new ball game and just the challenge I needed. I finally got all my state and federal tax ID numbers and feel so O-fic-ial... I've been looking at showing my work in some of the local galleries or even having a table at our First Friday art events here in San Antonio. I just feel really positive and like the sky is the limit for my whole artistic venture. I've been making things like crazy and have probably sniffed way too much glue haha! Bought 2 more shelving units to hold everything. The list of things to do is getting much longer hmmm. Below are just a few of the sponsers and guest stars at the convention.

They still need paranormal and creepy horror vendors...  You will be supplied with table, curtains, chairs, two tickets, and a bunch of perks.  Check out!

Other than pumpkin pie, what are ya'll thankful for this year?  I'd have to say that I'm very grateful for my family, my relatively good health, my artistic abilities, my good grades, and finely living in a pretty safe neighborhood in our new house.  It's been a long bumpy road but I always just keep chuggin along looking on the bright side. I'm a gothic optimist haha... dark humor sees me through it all.
