Hit the Road

This year one of my goals was to broaden the locations for show participation. So far I’ve been to St. Louis, MO,  Savoy, IL and most recently Albuquerque, NM. The trip to Albuquerque has been the most involved on lots of levels.  It’s about 14hours by car, so there were extra travel days in the (rented) SUV and extra nights in the hotel/motel.  It was an outdoor show, so had to bring the tent in addition to all the other usual setup.   One is at the mercy of the elements— 40+ mile/hour winds. There was some damage to the nylon “walls” of my tent but otherwise came out OK–others, not so fortunate.  It was a beautiful venue and I met great people.  I’m hoping to return in Dec for a show in  Santa Fe.

Rust Renaissance

Here’s some bike chain I was about to send to the scrap yard because it was SO filthy. I decided I’d clean up a few links just to see how they looked. I think they look great. So here’s the progress from rust to re-use.  This is going to the Re-cycled Art fair in Albuquerque this weekend.

What Are You Up To?

I have not been keeping my posts up to date with my commitments. I just finished up a show in St Louis–Green with Indie. Wow! What a great show. Good publicity, supportive and organized organizers, nice vendors and a good volume of browsers/buyers.
March 15–I will be in Savoy, IL for the Hatch Show. Another re-use, recycle themed show. Again good publicity and participation/attendance for the pre-sales event.
April 12–I am returning to the Prairie Village Earth Fair at Shawnee Mission East High School. This is a funky Earth Day themed event. There a vendors selling plants and seeds, demos for electric cars, urban farmers (complete with chickens).
This is the most up to date list of confirmed commitments.
