Trinkets, Worthless, 10: These trinket are garbage plain and simple. They would be termed vendor trash or junk loot in video games. They aren’t touched by stray magic or mystery as with regular trinkets, aren’t made from valuable materials and aren’t particularly useful even if they aren’t damaged.

A burlap bag containing a dozen assorted doorknobs.

A rather large and dead hairy spider that looks as if someone tried to make a wig out of it.

A small beige oilcloth sack embroidered neatly with the word ‘CHEESE.’ You can smell it from halfway across the room.

An expertly taxidermied rat with a built in candle holder capable of bearing a small tea candle. The mouse is posed as if scurrying

A lump of coal with runes carved into it.

A five pound pyrite (Fools gold) ingot.

A worn minotaur’s nose ring that has been bent and beaten back into shape many times.

A lacquered wooden coin engraved with the holy symbol of a minor God of Random Neutral Domain.

A smooth, flat, black river stone.

A small, tattered canvas sack containing a dozen half-rotted teeth that are as long as a thumb, but are decidedly identifiable as human.

—Keep reading for 90 more trinkets.

—Note: The previous 10 items are repeated for easier rolling on a d100.

The skull of a bird with an iron nail driven through it.

A crude wooden mask featuring a head crest of branches. The entirety of the mask is scorched wood and it smells like charcoal.

A beaten crate filled with rotted children’s clothing and old toys.

An alligator skull that reeks of sulfur and bog water. The druidic rune for “Preserve” is carved into the forehead.

A stone statue of a goblin, paper-thin and hollow. If the statue is broken, goblin bones tumble out.

A rusty dagger with a blade that is wildly unsuited for any sort of cutting whatsoever. Dangling from the pommel-nut is a leather thong strung with teeth and walnut shells.

A latticed or deformed stone that's possibly a meteorite

A malformed doll with a strange leer that wears a sackcloth dress.

A stitched up bear composed of multiple parts from different teddy bears.

A lady’s brush, elegantly carved of ivory with boar bristle. The ivory is stained and cracked, and many of the bristles are missing.

A hefty book full of notes written by many authors and inserted pages from other books. There are bite marks and slashes on the covers and some dirt might slip from between the pages when shaken.

A rotting quarterstaff made of oak wood. The staff has grips wrapped in slimy brown ape skin.

An old pair of trousers that are almost entirely made of patches and stitches, having been kept in service long past their time.

A crooked rod of dark wood with a possum skull lashed to the top.

An antique sword, rusted to its mildewy scabbard.

A length of heavy rusty chain, entangled in an impossible knot.

A thick waxy candle the colour of sickly pallid skin. When burned, the smoky odor of roasting ghoulflesh fills the room, ideal for setting the mood for foul necromantic rituals, preparing volunteers for human sacrifice, and all manner of depraved acts involving corpses.

A large bird's nest that has human finger bones woven into it.

A thick shirt of coarse brown horsehair.

A small leather pouch containing a double handful of seemingly fresh tree nuts, still in their shells.

An ugly gray wine skin, heavier than it looks, sloshes and gurgles in response to any movement.

A large, cast pewter vial containing a quantity of strangely textured sand. It clumps and sticks in a single doughy mass.

A piece of parchment bearing an unusual symbol drawn in iridescent green ink.

A long and tangled piece of twine with tiny brass bells knotted into it every few feet.

A dingy, brown leather collar with a sea serpent branded along its length is stuck on a jagged piece of splintered wood.

An intricate and spiky ball of cat and rat whiskers.

A heavy shot glass with a cat's face carved into the bottom.

A copper coin with a small hole drilled at the top and attached to a long length of fishing line.

A small, stained sack with a crudely painted figure of a halfling on the side. Opening the sack releases an odour that invokes tears and gagging to those nearby. The sack itself contains a number of crude items designed to disguise a goblin as a halfling. Laying the kit’s inventory out on the ground, you assess its value as a tool for subterfuge and determine a figure of zero. The wig leaves an odor of wet dog on your hands. The goblin disguise kit contains the following items: a chopped and damp wig made from worg fur, flesh-toned paste that burns when applied, a set of incomprehensibly disgusting false teeth, a canvas tunic with a poorly painted “shirt front,” and a pair of greasy gloves.

When you are at a craft fair you can have a wide range of pieces. Whether it is DIY jewelry or an eye-catching antique piece you bought at an auction, make sure all of your jewels are easily accessible so customers can see them up close. You’ll likely want to show off multiple pieces at once. So you might consider racks that rotate or containers that hold multiple pieces next to one another.

If all else fails, you can make your own DIY jewelry display to truly showcase your jewels in a craft booth.

How do I photograph jewelry for online sales?

You should include multiple photos of jewelry pieces in each product listing. One should include the piece on a plain background and at least one other should show what it looks like on a model. Make sure the jewels are clean and shiny. But avoid using a flash and keep the light even using reflectors to avoid glare in images.

Here are more business photography tips.

Heavy Duty Waterproof Thick Tarpaulins

Almost all tarpaulins are thick, but the most commonly used are heavyweight canvas tarps. Thick, heavy-weight canvas tarps are extensively used as wraps for manufacturing, landscaping, warehousing, painting, farming, construction, and shipping. For maximum performance, these are made from high-quality cotton canvas duck that is 100 percent industrial grade.  These sheets have a long history in the apparel industry and are noted for their toughness and durability.  These are eco-friendly, breathable, and exceptionally durable, with excellent stitching, double-folded hems, and brass tie-down grommets. They come in a variety of sizes, weights, colours, and grades.  These are heavier than poly tarps and have various protective features. They are commonly used as sacks, flooring covers, equipment covers, and industrial containers.  These are advised for outdoor usage because they discolour inside furniture and things if they are not properly maintained, stored, and cared for.  These tarps can provide exclusive coverage for a range of critical functions, including waterproof, ultra-reliable tarps that can readily protect high-value work equipment, provide top-tier performance when used as a source of short inclusion, and provide exterior assurance during house improvements.

 These Heavy Duty tarpaulins are wax-processed and chemically treated to make them lighter.  These are utilised as industrial coverings, offshore, oil field, ship building, scaffolding, and general equipment covers because they are strong and have reinforced edges and double stitching for tie down application.  These tarps are ideal for covering equipment and freight on a building site or in an industrial setting.  These covers are used by transportation companies to protect cargo and other items from bad weather like downpours, extreme cold, hot seasons, and heavy snowfall.  These covers are reusable, and one of their many advantages is that they can be used by a variety of vehicle groups because they can be cared for efficiently and used to protect items and carry them safely with the help of these covers.  These tarps are ideal for covering equipment and cargo on a construction site or in an industrial setting.  These are also ideal for use as truck coverings for hauling agricultural items such as wood shavings or bedding supplies.

 These tarps are used to cover a variety of outdoor products, including BBQ grills, boats, firewood, automobiles, motorbikes, recreational vehicles, and transportable goods.  These coverings are employed to manage large amounts of nursery waste like leaves or a yard such as grass or any vegetable in a bad climate such as a storm.  These are used to cover shrubs in the winter to protect them from snow, road salt, and ice.  These can protect a full crop because they are vinyl coated and keep water out while the burlap protects.  These sheets are used to preserve wood shavings and firewood from abrasion and mould. Wet woods lose their abrasion and get mouldy; thus, these sheets keep the shavings dry.  They are perfect for military and industrial applications and may be utilised in the garden, boat cover, or marine. Features:  breathable  waterproof  Affordable  Weatherproof finish  On all four sides, alternate eyelets and loops at inch intervals.  Water-resistant poly  An eco-friendlier alternate to PE tarps  Heavy-duty and long-term  lighter material than traditional cotton canvas but with superior strength.  UV-protected, shrink-proof, and rot-proof  Available in different colours and sizes,

Inspired by the wilderness advocate Edward Abbey, I have spent the past four years creating work around the nexus of recreation and stewardship. I have devoted myself to exploring the relationship between humans and nature as well as facilitating dialogue about human encroachment of public lands. Overcrowding of natural areas is a problem of increasing importance in today’s world. According to the National Park Service, visitation to national parks reached 327.5 million visits in 2019, the fifth consecutive year where visits exceeded 300 million (National Park Service, 2020, para. 1).

Just like visitors from all over the world, I am drawn to these wild places in search of adventure. While I feel most alive in the wilderness, I am conflicted about wanting to visit these natural spaces for I know they face many threats, of which humankind is most imminent. As the popularity of outdoor recreation increases so do the negative effects of tourism.

This past summer I had the wonderful opportunity to engage visitors in dialogue about the impact we have on nature through Paradise Lost, a solo exhibition at Art Lab Fort Collins. The opening piece of art was Grand Teton, an idyllic landscape painting of Grand Teton National Park on three panels (see Fig. 1). Completely void of any evidence of humans, the triptych elevates the national park to a sacred place and suggests an altar piece that commands a holy reverence. Introducing the human figure, the subsequent painting creates a sense of solitude by portraying a single person dwarfed by the towering Hallett Peak of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Next the painting Point Reyes features a single lighthouse on the edge of a brilliant blue ocean on Point Reyes National Seashore (see Fig. 2). Small in scale when compared to the vast ocean and open sky, the artifact of human development may appear of little consequence. Yet, the lighthouse very subtly hints at a human history of developing the land and conquering the seas. Each of these pieces create an ideal image with little to no evidence of human presence when the reality is that these are all heavily visited places.

Then the exhibition transitioned to meticulously hand-embroidered patches. The first four patches were Merit Badges for following the “Leave No Trace” principles by refraining from feeding cute chipmunks, picking beautiful wildflowers, and inadvertently causing wildfires. In contrast, the next four patches were Demerit Badges for failing to practice outdoor ethics. Off Trail captures a hiking boot in mid-air about to crush a precious flower and Noise Pollution warns of a backpacker bombarded by sound waves.

These small patches depict what have become common, everyday problems caused by too many park visitors not respecting nature or others. Displayed on the wall was the quote “wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of human spirit, as vital to our lives as bread and water” (Abbey, 1988, p. 165).

Corresponding to the Demerit Badges were wall hangings. I sew and weave wall hangings with topographical imagery that map the human impact on the natural world and provoke discussion about socially responsible practices. The weaving Erosion shows the negative effects of the patch Off Trail. The very loosely woven twine looks as though it may fall apart at any given moment. The weft alternates between white cloth with imagery of green topographical lines and burlap with imagery of red scars, where visitors have veered off trail.

The wall hanging Sounds of Northern Colorado combines fiber art and photos with a QR code. In our day-to-day lives, we are constantly bombarded by sounds and noises, most of which we block out as we go about our busy days. By incorporating a QR code that viewers can scan to listen to a playlist of recordings, my work invites the viewer to slow down and pay attention to the sounds of nature and civilization.

All of these sounds are a part of my personal experience. Yet, they speak to a larger issue, in fact, a global issue. The sounds of nature are becoming rarer. Instead we are faced with the noise of civilization, air traffic and sirens. Even the park system and the wilderness are unable to provide the escape, silence and peace of mind that they once did.

Lining the window, papier-mâché sculptures of cairns echo this idea that humans struggle with leaving nature be (see Fig. 3-4). Cairns pose a major threat to national parks as more and more people moving and stacking rocks disrupts ecosystems. Not only do people stack rocks, but they also leave graffiti on them. This is evident in the painting depicting a rock with the words “eat pizza” written on it. Another painting of a trail post reveals a no unicorns sticker above a no bicycles sign. While some may find it funny, vandalism is costly to national parks.

Even park visitors who strive to leave no trace may not consider how social media “sharing�� drives visitors to national parks and causes congestion in places that are valued for their seclusion. The life-size painting of hands holding a camera phone about to snap a picture invites viewers to see themselves as the one holding the phone. The contemporary experience of nature through digital devices is further emphasized by a painting of an outstretched arm snapping a selfie. Viewers may begin to question their role in nature and consider how social media “sharing” may be to the detriment of the natural places they are seeking to capture.

Devices, screens, and windows present a barrier that prevents an authentic experience of nature and narrows one’s view. Bison Jam puts the viewer inside a car looking at a herd of bison blocking the road and raises the question of whether that road should exist (see Fig. 5). The Altar showcases an assortment of gift shop items blocking the window and obscuring a view of Rocky Mountain National Park (see Fig. 5).

Consumerism of nature has become the focus instead of revering it as Grand Teton called for at the beginning of the exhibition. My paintings span from untouched landscapes to those seen through screens and windshields; they lead viewers to analyze their own relationships with nature and often evoke a feeling of uncertainty at how to proceed in natural spaces.

A display of the quote “Industrial Tourism is a threat to national parks” set the stage for the signature piece of the exhibition – Overcrowded (see Fig. 6-7) (Abbey, 1988, p.65). Transparent panels combine tent fabric with hand-painted scenes of a busy campground. Windows in the panels allow viewers to glimpse a hopeful scene of a valley of bison untouched by human presence in Yellowstone National Park. Enticing viewers to an idyllic landscape that can only be reached by walking through panels depicting human activity, my installation work creates a space for viewers to examine the dichotomies between the human desire to preserve the wilderness and to enjoy it. The final quote read “we must make up our minds and decide for ourselves what the national parks should be and what purpose they should serve” (Abbey, 1988, p. 62).

The exhibition included supplementary programming that brought both my own experience and the viewers’ shared experiences with nature into question. Local Scouts performed a skit of the “Leave No Trace” principles (see Fig. 8). Immediately following I lead an art making activity in which scouts made stickers that could count toward requirements for an Art Scout badge. At another event, a Rocky Mountain National Park ranger came and engaged the public in a conversation about outdoor ethics (see Fig. 9). Afterwards I shared my artmaking process and the story of Paradise Lost in an artist talk. Visitors could take a piece of art home with them by picking out a free handmade sticker (see Fig. 10).

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF TOTE BAGS?

-THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TOTE BAG

WHERE DID THE WORD "TOTE" COME FROM?

The word "tote" as in "to carry" can be traced back to the 17th century. It was a time of great exploration, political unrest all over Europe, and new scientific ideas proposed by innovators like Isaac Newton. With many nations interacting for the first time, words like "tote" were adapted into the modern language. In fact, "tote" actually derives from the Swahili word "tuta," which means "to pile up or carry."

WHO INVENTED THE TOTE BAG?

We may see custom tote bags all over the place today, but they weren't officially born until the 19th century. In 1886, newspaper owner Jasper Meek came up with an idea that would keep his printing presses running during the slow season. He approached a local shoe store called Cantwell Shoes in Coshocton, Ohio and suggested printing "Cantwell's Fine Shoes" on burlap bags.

These totes served as free giveaways for every customer who came into the store. Children in the small town reused these bags to bring books to and from school. Other parents would see this and wonder how they could get one of their own, driving more customers to the small store. This kind of recognition benefited both Meek and Cantwell, and just like that, promotional tote bags were born!

Now, in present day, these eco-friendly totes are available in a wide variety of colors and images. From subtle political expression to pop culture symbols, literally anything can be printed on these bags. The flexible material also makes it possible to customize to suit your personal sense of fashion and needs.

WHEN DID TOTE BAGS BECOME POPULAR?

Custom tote bags were made popular thanks to Meek, but it still took some time for them to become mainstream items. In 1944, Maine-based company L.L. Bean introduced its "ice bag," which was a stylish way to carry ice and wood. The Boat and Tote® was made of canvas and to this day is one of the company's most popular items, with over a half million sold each year. The bag has evolved from its 1944 edition to include many different colors, a variety of sizes, and different handle lengths and materials. Today, the navy and red straps are the company's best-sellers, with new seasonal colors coming out every six months.

The Boat and Tote ushered in a new wave of tote bags as practical accessories. For the first time, people were entertaining the idea of using them to carry everything from groceries to fishing gear. By 1991, L.L. Bean also got into personalization by including a monogram of their initials on each bag. This helped promote their company, while also offering customers something practical and trendy.business backpack

Trinkets, 22: Interesting baubles, semi magical objects and items touched by mystery.

A small, Randomly Colored folded paper bird. When unfolded, it refolds itself and any crumples or tears it has sustained magically fix themselves.

An eyepatch resembling a large flower that covers the entire eye of the creature wearing it. When applied to a creature’s face, the eyepatch grows rootlike tendrils that wrap around the bearer's head to secure it.

A set of fish jaws fashioned into a bracelet. When worn, the bearer has an in depth knowledge of northern pike.

A bracelet made from a lattice of woven brass. It automatically adjusts itself to the wrist size of its bearer.

A shimmery cloak clasp depicting a violin and a sword. It smells vaguely of ash and fire.

A sealed metal tin labeled “Armstrong Mustache Wax”. According to the description, the recipe has been passed down the Armstrong line for generations

A glazed porcelain pipe. Everything about it seems vaguely familiar, but you aren’t sure why.

An old and beaten up steel drinking flask. After carrying the object for more than 1d4 hours, the bearer becomes convinced that the flask has to be kept a secret.

An uncannily familiar face etched into a piece of dead wood.

A marble pyramid, small enough to fit in a human’s palm. When held, shadows seem to flicker in the corners of the bearer's vision.
