Sassy Apple Craft! • September 19th, 2018

September 17

CRAFTNIGHT! >> WED • Sept 19th, 2018 • Akbar • 9pm to midnight (or later!) 
Craft Project: Sassy Apple Craft!
*******$4 PABST/TECATES • $5 Cocktail Special: Thousands of options! 
*********$3 suggested donation, please!

I have sassy photo apple frames, and they’re VERY apple-oriented, because it’s Johnny Appleseed Day on September 26th! There’ll be stuff to glue onto your frames, and opportunity to take a photo to put IN the frame.I’ve got glitter glue, googly eyes, more pieces of foam so you can make your own shapes, and even some LEAF shapes, woo! You can fill your apple frame with a drawing, leave it blank, or have your photo taken and printed by CraftNight!

It’s the time of year where apples do their thing, they’re part of the rose family, just like apples and plums, and there are over 7,500 different varieties of apples. Apples are packed with fiber, the average apple contains 4.5 grams, so put down those two servings of Metamucil, because apples are way more fun to eat.

We’re SO CLOSE to the Autumnal Equinox and no it’s not your imagination the sky in Los Angeles is getting more blue. The sun is crossing the celestial equator going south, the light changes, and there ARE leaves that change color, don’t be weird we DO have seasons, you just have to go to it: Descanso Gardens, Ice House Canyon (below Mt. Baldy), LA County Arboretum, Huntington Library Botanical Gardens, Ortega Highway, Mt. Wilson Observatory, to name a few.

See you at the Craft Table,

JP Craft Captain

September 20

This Wednesday, September 20th at Akbar: 
8pm to 10pm DR. SKETCHY “Turkish Delights” Figure Drawing! (see link below: SO MUCH FUN!!)
9pm to midnight or later it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
****Project: FALL Equinox Sun Catchers! 
*****$3 Donation Please 
******$4 Drink specials! Akbar: See What We Mean

It’s FALL!!! Right now, you have the most Autumn enjoyment before you: the most pumpkin spice everything, the most football, the most fall clothing, the most harvest vegetables, the most haunted houses and scary movies and pumpkin patches, the most bonfires, the most colorful leaf changes, the most county fairs, and the most fall food recipes. ‘Tis the beginning of seasonal autumnal splendor, a time of both abundance and wistfulness. Is Autumn a beginning or an ending? Can it be both? The daylight hours shrink, the darkness becomes more prevalent, yet there is also a spark. A glimmer of your creaturely nature may cause you to pause and say “I do believe I’m connected to it all!”

For pondering just that type of thought process, and to connect you with the seasonality of being human, we have really excellent Fall Suncatchers! You get one corny cartoony style one, and another hipster style geometric one! You also get a suction cup for hanging your craft in the window! This is lowbrow stained glass (plastic), it’s very uncomplicated, you’ll paint these with special suncatcher paint I ordered especially for this night! It’s easy and painty, you can talk and do this at the same time, it’s not a concentration breaker!

See you at the Craft Table,

JP Craft Captain

Halloween Necklace! • Sept. 29th, 2015

October 14

TONIGHT! Wednesday, Oct. 14th, 2015 from 9pm until midnight (or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Halloween Necklace! 
$3 Processing fee, please
$4 Drink Specials at Akbar: Silverlake’s best Address 
CURRENTLY ON VIEW Gothtober.com is up and running! See the world’s only countdown calendar to the days of Halloween, brought to you by SparkleBlob (which also powers CraftNight and other arty things…)  

Mother Nature has been roasting and toasting us this Halloween season, enough to make you want to freeze one’s caramel apple and put it on your face to cool down. My goodness these temperatures have been soaring. Meanwhile, we’re going to have the A/C on full blast, and we’ll be playing fun stuff on the Akbar Jumbotron, serving some snacks to go with your drink special, and we will be making Halloween necklaces.

Human beings have been wearing necklaces ever since we figured out how to string stuff together. Necklaces made of stones, animal fangs, teeth, feathers, claws, shells, etc. still hang on wearers buried in ancient tombs. Necklaces stood for status, or royalty, nowadays people wear them for fashion, or for sentimental value, religious reasons, or to make a statement. So we’re giving you an opportunity to make STATEMENT JEWELRY tonight.

Feelin’ tough? Feelin’ pretty? Feelin’ haunted or depraved, strange and eerie? Feelin’ Fun? Are you feelin’ like a Halloween monster goddess? Are you a high priest or an art wizard? Are you the ultimate Halloween romantic?

A good necklace is an accent piece for a well-dressed person, just like a ring or a scarf or necktie or a good set of cufflinks. You’re not going to wear your Halloween necklace everyday, you’ll mix it up with your other pendants and the like. But this is special. This is your message to the masses, worn around your neck to advertise your individuality.

There’s one time of year where you can really overcrowd your look with bizarre accoutrement, so get into it, we dare you. Adorn yourself distastefully, put together a necklace that helps complete or create your fall fashion look.

Autumn Leaf Craft • Sept. 29th, 2015

October 06

hidden_melons

This Wednesday, Oct. 7th, 2015 from 9pm until midnight (or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Halloween Figurine
$3 Processing fee, please
$4 Drink Specials: Engineered to move the human spirit. 

Presenting: Beautiful Plaster figurines in three different Halloween themes for you to paint! Get yourself a beverage, sit right down and do some painting while getting to know your fellow Angelenos. Achieve the balance of being and doing in ONE NIGHT!

Your Halloween figurine will bond with your MIND and make you think about peanut brittle, pumpkins, hay rides, fall leaves, cinnamon, pie, tea flavors, creepy masks, Halloween candy, and skeletons. Such a thing might freak you out at first, but remember, it’s not “haunting” you, it’s just “reminding” you. Like an app.

It’s great to be in October, it’s great to feel the rain, it’s great to see big crazy clouds in the sky and people having hot drinks again. Rumor has it that Friday’s going to be HOT, so let’s all meet at CraftNight and hold a “weather seance” to keep temperatures down! Can’t guarantee that anyone will be listening to us, but you should probably be a little buzzed and engrossed in painting your Halloween figurine anyway.
