Finally spring!

It is finally spring but I feel so behind.... Once again, I have not posted in 2 months! I have a new idea for a way to sell my letters that I have been rolling around in my brain for a few weeks and frankly it is driving me crazy.... And I have so many other volunteer commitments, that I can't see to get around to figuring it out. I have a show next weekend April 4 and 5 ( The Art Fair at Queeny Park--see sidebar) and I would like to have it for that, or at the very least, put a few samples of it on my etsy site.

The idea is what is posted above, putting the "letters" in "frames" that I have scanned...so that the frame and letter are all one piece. But each letter frame would be a separate piece and my problem is how to display them....attach to a ribbon, mount on foamcore and make some kind of track to stand them in, or simply offer them with 3M stickies on the backs. I've also been told to only offer about 4 frame styles, but there are so many cool frames that I find that hard to do. What to do.....

Artstravaganza

This is my booth at the ARTstravaganza show this past weekend. It was a fun show, had good neighbors to talk to and people seemed to appreciate my work (which I don't always get).
But unfortunately the weather was so nice in St. Louis over the weekend--and believe it or not for all of the October weekends!---that the crowd was really thin. I did pretty well for the crowd though and it was the first time I've done this show. I will give it a try again next year! There was a lot of nice artwork, and as usual alot of jewelry and my work was definitely different! I'll just keep pluggin along. Did get an idea to contact alumni associations of St. Louis high schools for my "Where'd you go to high school?" mugs. I have one on my etsy shop and will post more soon. If you area not from St. Louis you wouldn't know that for some reason, that is the question everyone asks when meeting someone new...."Where'd you go to high school?" One man bought the CBC mug and said if he had known about them before his reunion 2 weeks earlier, they would have bought one for everybody! It is worth a shot!
