LUCKY, LUCK, LUCK, LUCK...

Things went so well at the Spring Art Fair! there were many people and there was a lot of interest in my work which felt really good. I sold 5 pieces! I was a little bit nervous, I have to admit, when I went on Tuesday to hang everything because I hadn't been in a show in Toronto and I wasn't sure if my stuff would be a good fit. I have only just solidified my process and my "style" in the last year or so and while I enjoyed it and liked it myself I was unsure how it would go over. When I hung my pieces and then took a look at everyone elses things I realized, yeah, I do fit and everything looks good together! WHEW! the opening night was great, friends and family came out to support me and I even got flowers from my boss! this felt like a great beginning to some more exposure and maybe some more shows! I can't upload any photos right now because of my coffee mishap last week. Excited to continue working on my art and selling on Etsy. Thanks everyone!

ALMOST THERE...

Well I guess I'm ready! I finished the last bits I needed to do for the Spring Art Fair and tomorrow we hang! This weekend felt long and I tried to be efficient, but it doesn't always go that way does it? Do you feel you are a slave to your creative impulse or can you produce at will? I feel I need to feel "ready" to work I can't just sit down and go. This can be stressful if you have a deadline! are there ways you try to keep motivated or things you need to do before you sit down and work? have a good week!
