Home from Lakefest

Hammered sterling silver dangle earrings

Lakefest was beautiful. The staff and volunteers were very supportive and made the show a pleasure to do.

I took a stroll around Sunday morning before opening my booth. It was the perfect place for an art fair. Ample parking in a garage, a bottle filling station for water, and plenty of shade trees made the experience for shoppers and exhibitors alike.

I had lots of interest in my work and talked with so many interesting people. I’m happy I exhibited, but that drive was just too long to do again.

Art Fair Season in Full Swing

Bowl hammered in the shape of an abstract poppy flower and decorated in kiln-fired glass enamel, created by Kristin Ellis

The Wyoming Art Show in Cincinnati, my first show of the year, went quite well. The weather was hot and sunny, and people came out to shop. My new booth design worked out better than expected!

Overall view of the new booth

I was happy with the integration of wall art, light switch plates, and decorative bowls with my jewelry. Now, I’ll have work displayed on all 4 sides of my booth. I’ve added lighting to the inside display, since the new mesh panels leave it a bit dark.
