"Thanks, Jim
If you are talking about the work on the easel, right out front; it is currently entered in my local art guild's annual show.
I'm attaching the image here for you to see it better. It's titled, "Wandering…"

"Hi Brian.
I didn't know what to do here. Our booths were back to back and I needed to store some things. I figured making a counter and sitting behind it was a decent solution. The chair in the corner was actually behind the table...I had moved…"

"Thanks, Robin
I'm looking forward to getting back out there this year. I will definitely will take the advice here.
Good luck and many sales to you also.

"Overall, your 1st booth is great! The "doors" work really well. The table should have a more tailored cover for a finished look. Definitely replace that chair with a tall director's model. I got mine from Amazon:…"

"This being my firstlook at someone who is jus setting up, it gives me a great idea of what to start with, and also I am able to take the suggestions and refine my begining booth. Nice art work? Did you sell the one at the end (palm trees)? If not or…"
Robin Ragsdale replied to Todd Derr's discussion Newbie here and this is my first booth display. What do you think?
"I think it looks great! Your art is very well displayed. Two suggestions: I would change out the carpet to something solid or at least less patterned. Also, the table cover is a little sloppy. If you may want to use a much stiffer fabric and tailor…"
Chris Hoyt replied to Todd Derr's discussion Newbie here and this is my first booth display. What do you think?
"Get rid of that chair. You want to be at eye level with every potential customer who comes into your booth. At the very least get a bar stool from someplace if you can't afford a tall director's chair."
Brian Horan replied to Todd Derr's discussion Newbie here and this is my first booth display. What do you think?
"try to notice if they walk past the table to look at your work in the back. Customers don't walk past barriers (table)they will generally stop at the barrier LOL .It is amazing I watch how people react in a booth some won't come into the…"

Nice looking booth. I'm going to consider the hinge idea.

"Thanks, Connie
Being that this was my first art fair experience as a participant I was unsure what to do. I just came up with the quickest, budget friendly solution I could. I wasn't intending to pursue the big, juried shows yet and didn't…"

"Hi, Pamela
I just used screws with a cordless drill. I will have to come up with something better in the future. Eventually there will be too many ugly holes in the panels. This was all done very quickly...from drawing board to experiment to art…"

"Here's how I use my hollow core doors. Each wall has 2 hinges between each door and each wall is set up separately. 3- 3ft doors makes almost maximum use of the space. Since they are all hinged together and connected at the top corners with…"
Connie Mettler replied to Todd Derr's discussion Newbie here and this is my first booth display. What do you think?
"Hollow core doors are the most classy way to display 2D work, I think. Not as easy as other things, but the presentation can be quite nice and at the fancy fine craft shows it is the display of choice because it can be painted so many colors and…"
