CANDLES AND GHOSTS

All I can say is ….Whew!  2 shows in 2 weeks across the state was certainly more fun than any one person should be allowed to have.  Both The Big Crafty and Bele Chere were good shows, but with all of the work involved, especially showing in the warmth of July, I don’t know if I’ll have the energy to do that again.  At least not back to back.  At Bele Chere, I did manage to con the judges into giving me a 3rd place ribbon in the arts section-

and ribbons are always good (even better when attached to money)- they almost always help when applying to future shows.  Of course, you never really know what the judges are looking for, just a matter of opinion I guess.

Here are some booth shots from Bele Chere:

I had a lot of new work, as well as some old favorites

I knew all of those blank panels in my studio would be good for something

It’s 7 weeks until Centerfest, my next big show, so I think I’ll take a few days off to recover.  May be a good time for Jeremia, Kristina, and I to hit the pool.
