Charlotte Burnett replied to Kathleen J. Clausen's discussion 'Jury Photos of Jewelry' in the group Jewelry Genies
Larry and I were working on my photos last night LATE. What he did was minimal, but make a huge difference in the total presentation. I also learned a lot about the jurying process just by talking with him. Good job Larry!

I don't understand what you mean, Larry, about showing the growth or variations. Could you expand?
Charlotte Burnett replied to Kathleen J. Clausen's discussion 'Jury Photos of Jewelry' in the group Jewelry Genies
The question about continuity in the photos is a big one for me. All my work is metalsmithing, but some of my work focuses on setting stones and some of my work focuses on mixed metals that are done almost as a picture, and some of my work is…
Charlotte Burnett commented on geri a. wegner's blog post 'Can't win them all, but getting closer........'
Lori Kay, I don't know. I think that there is a fine line. A giclee print is a copy. When I read rules, it sounds like copies are discouraged. I am very much aware that an artist can sell more copies than…
Charlotte Burnett commented on geri a. wegner's blog post 'Can't win them all, but getting closer........'
I have been at shows where several of the "artists" appear to be production artists with "bench jewelers" aiding in the production of the goods. In one instance, when I asked what type of weave a bracelet used, the…

Anne, What seminar are you referring to?

Charlotte Burnett commented on Connie Mettler's group 'Jewelry Genies'
I have had customers come into my booth and tell me the going price for silver. People know what is going on. They are aware of the significant increase in my costs, and I am finding, they expect me to increase my prices as a…

Hi Charlotte,
Getting into the more competitive shows is grueling. But yesterday (Hurrah) we were taken off the wait list and accepted to a huge show in Arlington Heights, IL. The thrill is amazing.
There are lots of folks here from Florida and I…

I apologize for getting into this so late. I do have some comments to add.
I started making jewelry about five years ago doing basic wire work. I quickly advanced to a more advanced wire sculpture. Then I started…
Charlotte Burnett and Nels Johnson are now friends
Charlotte Burnett commented on Nels Johnson's blog post 'NEW YEARS IN DOWNTOWN NAPLES--SHAZAAM!, what a concept, making money, the first day of the year.'
I don't think anyone can say that the local artists have "taken over" over the Naples show. The Von Liebig Center is now sponsoring it, instead of Howard Alan. However, Marianne has worked hard to insure that it remains a…

I am one of the local artists who always does a show with the Naples Art Association on the first Saturday of the month. Von Liebig was "kind" enough to let us show on side street on Saturday. We had to pay the same…

Hi, Charlotte... I'm new to Art Fair Insiders, too. Glad to see more of us are getting onboard - I've been reading some of the discussions and have found some good tips - you've been doing this longer than I have, but I bet…

- What are the best things about art fairs
- Interacting with customers. Getting the feedback on my work. Making the sales!
- Best show ever and why
- The second or third show I did when someone came into my booth and asked me if I was the artist. All of a sudden, it hit me. I was, finally, really an artist.
- Worst show ever and why
- Naples Art in the Park in February. It rained all morning. It was windy and cold -- unusual for February in Naples. We were able to open the show for a couple of hours and had a dribble of people.
- Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
- I googled a jewelry artist who had won Best in the Show at the Naples National. I was referred to Art Fair Insiders and thought it might help me.

tom gross said… - Hi Charlotte,
Sorry for the long delay in responding to your comment - actually I commented back the same day - but I noticed that being new to this site - I commented to myself! So since you didn't recieve the first one I will paste it at the end of this
March 8th -I wasn't very active in the art community until around five years ago - right when you left- sorry. I have been sort of stirring the pot in the area since then though. Help start a networking group of artists called the Bohemian Art Society - it's a group of artists that show in the area that get together once a month or so and share what works and what doesn't at local shows. We probably have a lot of mutual friends. Tom
