Happy Flag Day! On this sunny day which recognizes the adoption of the American flag design, we proudly present to you an interview with summer UCU vendor Altered Designs by Tami. Tami was turned onto Altered Art while living in Alaska and now (seven years later!) she is still selling her crafts. This July's show will be Tami's debut at the Urban Craft Uprising. She will also be offering a Bottle Cap Necklace as our first Giveaway item.
UCU: What is your favorite part about Urban Craft Uprising or other large-scale craft shows?
ADBT: I love large event's such as UCU. The people that attend always know what they are attending. Fully excited about the art's and craft movement, which is growing bigger and better than ever. The network of vendors are supportive, creative and a joy to mingle with.

UCU: What sets your company apart from others who offer similar products?
ADBT: I try to make all my pieces affordable. Providing my Bottle Cap Necklaces for $8.00 each. I get to offer something that most people can afford. That way most can walks away from an event with a little token or inexpensive gift to give.
UCU: What do you like best about crafting/creating your product?
ADBT: I love all my watch part jewelry and wear it quite regularly. There are rarely any 2 pieces alike. I love the creative process in all my work but my Robots may be the most exciting. They all have their own personalities. One robot named Mommas Little Boy is a vintage tin from an old Mazda light bulb container. He carries miscellaneous parts with him and always has a tin type photo of his Momma in hand. Nearly all my work is from vintage bit's and bobbles giving them a unique purpose.
Thanks to Tami for taking the time to answer our questions and for offering a free Giveaway! Want to win the Bottle Cap Necklace? Leave a comment below and we will select a winner at random. Prizes can be picked up at the UCU booth at the show July 10-11.
