"Oh and I would change the fabric background to a solid taupe or sand.  The fabric you have now is distracting. Also I would use some tables , with different stands for height adjustment.   Not have everything in neat rows. …"

"I love your things, do you sell online.  How about some very large pictures at least 2' x 3' to hang on the walls in the booth.  That can be seen easily from outside the booth.  People just walking by will be able to…"

Linda A Shields replied to Jean Houndsome's discussion Advice on Application pic for Zapp please
"Jean, You say: 1) 80% is handmade by you. 2) You bought this "sparkly embellishment" from a vendor. This means it must be less than 20% of the volume. 3) In your opinion, it is the focal point.   If I buy a fossilized sand…"

"Jean -- I couldn't get to your pic, but I get the general idea of what you've produced. In my experience, the good art shows will not accept any fabricated jewelry that is not entirely made by you.  I say fabricated, because…"

Larry Berman replied to Jean Houndsome's discussion Advice on Application pic for Zapp please
"Your question has nothing to do with ZAPP, or any application system. It's a question about choosing images for your jury set and whether or not to include a particular image with an application. Just so you know, you can't post a link to,…"

Art fair at Mineral Springs Resort San Servando ,Florida

Hi,Im in Atlanta. We have very few shows until April. Most Florida shows deadline for March shows are gone. So i found this show in San Servando Fl, at the Warm Mineral Springs Resort. It's in the week and they have it every 2 weeks it seems. Suppose to be targeting the winter tourists. Anyone know anything about it? Good or bad show? Will be great if someone could let me know, as i couldnt find much else. Most of Howard Alan's shows are allready full for jewelry, which is my category. Thanks…See More
