It happened again today. I’m at an art show with my Parts of Art jewelry. Now mind you, my inventory is pretty extensive, since last year we went into pause mode on shows and I spent extra time making wearable art. Still though, sometimes at the end of the day of making jewelry I look at the work and think “Oh. My. God. What was I thinking? Who would wear this?” So on and so on. That inner dialogue can just go like a runaway train. But then, I go to a show and put out my wares, and sooner or later here she comes.
Another delightful moment for me was this lovely woman who wanted to look through all of my inventory. Thought nothing of sitting on the grass in my booth and going through each of four bins of earrings and brooches. It was a treasure hunt, and she emerged victorious with several pieces to give as gifts. Once again, I made this for you before we met, and you just had to find it!
It’s so gratifying to be back at shows and to meet my customers and help them find the perfect piece. This weekend I’m at the Crosbey Festival of the Arts in Toledo wearing my signature black and white. It’s great that the show is at the Toledo Botanical Gardens, which is an absolutely beautiful place. My next show will be August 7th in Noblesville Indiana. Come on out and find the one I made for you before we met!
