Did I tell you that I got into Renegade Craft Fair LA? I did! I'll have a booth there this summer. I hope some of you will stop by and say hi! I'm on the wait list for a bigger booth, and it'd be great if one opened up, becuase I have a lot of ideas that just won't fit in my little 5x10 corner of the world. :).
I've been having lots of fun figuring out my booth, how to display, best use of space etc. This is an instagram I took last night. I'd had a bit of a bad mood brewing and while at the grocery store decided to pick up some inexpensive flowers and margarita makings for myself. I was showing my instagram friends that the fresh nectarine and wet paint on my brush finished off the attitude adjusting I was in need of. I painted until the wee hours of the night, and have been working on it all day as well. Here's where it is now:
Oh, how I love painting, and painting large too!
This is going to be the backdrop for my booth, to separate me from the booth behind me, and to hang some paintings and other things on. When you think about it, a 5x10' booth, with a 6' table in it, pretty much is filled up, so I need to have a way to get more merchandise in the space. And of course, I want it to be an awesome booth- just cuz! So, when brainstorming with Heather about how to have a very sturdy wall that I could hang things from, she suggested using an inexpensive ($15.00) rolling wardrobe from Ikea as the base. Brilliant! My husband attached some plywood and now I'm off and running...
Unfortunately, I have to put my brushes down now, have to run to the State Board of Equilization (hate all the non art parts of trying to be an artists that sells her work), and back before son gets out of school. Dang, I was on a roll....maybe later I'll get to paint some more...
