I moved to Ohio about 3 years ago after graduating with a degree in Nutrition from the University at Buffalo and getting married to a Cleveland boy.
I am a running enthusiast, who loves to travel everywhere. Last year I got to go to Glacier NP in Montana and this year I am excited to go to Yosemite NP in California.
I am trying to make this my best year yet (which is hard because I had a season pass to Cedar Point last year) and that is one of the reasons I want to do this craft show.
I have been crafting for about 3 year now. It all started because I wanted my friends and family to have unique presents. I felt like they had everything already and I did not just want to buy a gift card. After a little time of doing this, I figured out, I'm not too shabby.
My process usually starts while running, it really easy for your mind to wonder when you are on a 20 mile run by yourself! There have been so many time when I am on the towpath and I go "I got it!" or "Great idea" and then hope no one is around to see me talking to myself. I also have a great group of running friends who I can bounce ideas off. And a few times when I am substitute teaching I ask the kids what they think because most of my items are for their age and it is nice having their input.
Meet James WeckBacher from Let's Face It Caricatures...
This is my first Avante-Garde show. I have been drawing since I was 2 years old. My Father is an artist so I grew up in a creative atmosphere.
I have been doing caricatures professionally for ten years. I fell into it accidently on purpose. A friend of mine got me started filling in for her when I lived in California. Since I've moved back to my home state here in blustery Ohio, I decided to start my own business and thus, Lets Face It Caricatures was born.

My love of nature and animals inspire my creations.
My picture collage creations were born from a frustration of
searching for, and being unable to find specific animal and nature themed home
décor and gifts in the past. My luminaries have developed from my past
volunteer experience in creating centerpieces for parties and special events
and the realization that there is a great interest in custom made items.
This is actually my first craft show, so I will be testing
the waters to see if there is a greater interest in my items and hopefully that
will help determine which direction to head in the future regarding my crafting
business. I am looking forward to
becoming part of the craft vendor community and hope to be part of many more
shows in the future!
