I'm so glad I listened to my heart and made those poppies on metal. It completely changed how I did at the bazaar! I sold all but one of my metal art. I've got some great momentum going and I'm excited to try and get my work at a few local stores. My brain is swimming with lots of ideas! Listen to your heart!! What a lesson....
Also had to share a pic of my new mother's day boots.....sooo cute!
I wanted to make a piece of art for outside. I took my love of making little houses and went crazy! It's 6 1/2 x 11 3/4 and is sealed with a glossy lacquer. I got an order from someone who saw it on facebook...whohoo! I didn't want to take the one I made out of the shop it's in so I'll just make another. Oh darn...lol I'm so happy I decided to play with metal it seems to be a hit. Back to painting I go!
I'm so excited about this video! http://www.katu.com/amnw/segments/Flea-Market-Makeovers-205986911.html
So the owner/creator of the Red Sled went on a local tv show this morning. She did a segment on Upcycling and flea market finds. My poppies on metal were shown and also one of my canvases. A lady came into the shop today and bought the poppies and I've got three more orders in varying colors. I think I'm onto something! Whohoo its a great day!
I got an email from the owner if the Red Sled Bazaar. She told me that she'll be taking some of my artwork with her. The segment is about upcycled art....perfect for me! It's got me thinking I should contact AM Northwest later and propose doing a how to segment on my box top canvases. I need to go for it! Here's to believing in yourself and being brave.....
Soon I'll be loading photos on another metal project I'm working on. I'm so excited with where it's going!!
