I'm a newbie on the art fair market. I have a Light Dome canopy. I need to buy some mesh panels. Most of what I've seen are white, but I've seen that you can special order colors. Creative…Continue

Jim Harris commented on Greg Little's blog post Wood Art at Art Shows
"Hi Greg,
Great work. I too am a woodworker. I do sculptures mainly equine and figurative. I agree there's not a lot of discussion on this forum about woodwork at shows. There is a woodworkers group you can join, but not…"
Jim Harris commented on Christian Rodgers's blog post Does anyone do Cowboy shows?
"I'm in the process of researching the same thing. I'm a wood sculptor and have a western theme to my work. I carve some horses along with mountain men, indians, cowboy boots, Civil War busts, etc. The last two shows…"
Jim Harris replied to Steph Mader's discussion Looking for inexpensive pedestals
"Steph,
Don't know if you've started making yours or not, but here's a couple of pictures of the ones I made. As you can see they're totally modular and I don't have any problems with putting my sculptures on…"
Lynda Wallis commented on Jim Harris's blog post Long Grove Art Fest and Wine Tasting
"Hey Jim, Thanks for the report on the Long Grove show. I'm sorry you barely made expenses-been there-done that! I live 10 miles away and made the choice to NOT do the show...it was tempting because of the convenience. But I had read that the…"
Jim Harris replied to Steph Mader's discussion Looking for inexpensive pedestals
"Steph,
Are you still looking for pedistals? I've got the $339 set up from pedistal Express and never used them. I'm a wood sculptor and ended up creating my own modular ones. I'd sell the set from Pedistal Express…"
Geoff Coe commented on Jim Harris's blog post Long Grove Art Fest and Wine Tasting
"Good report, Jim, thanks. I feel for you: I don't know how, as a wood sculptor, you get a price point below $45. Wood chips, $25? Bags of sawdust for $10?? ;-)"

Long Grove Art Fest and Wine Tasting
Well once the surprise weather past and they let us leave the fire station we got all set up. I set my tent up Friday night and it was very easy in and out. I got the display all set up Saturday after they let us go back to our tents. Due to the weather everything was about 2 hours late in starting. The organizers were great. The volunteers kept us supplied with water (more than the 2 times advertised) through out the day, both Saturday and Sunday. Once the storms past Saturday was a…See More
Leslie Turner replied to Jim Harris's discussion Display stands for sculpture
"Your sculptures are very earthy. Why not play up that feeling by using weathered wood for your pedestals? You could take four planks, stain the raw edges to match the fronts and put metal or fabric hinges between all the planks so they will fold up.…"

"Has anyone done the Long Grove Art Festival and Wine Tasting?
I've been notified that I was accepted and was wondering about the price of my work and if I need to work on some lower priced items. I'm a wood sculptor and most of…"

I have some mesh panels for sale in the classified section. They were only used once and are from Creative Energies.
They are white, and I'm shipping for free. Take a look at the ad and let me know if you're…"
