Hi, Im fairly new at the art fair scene and recently did my first art fair as far as Florida. I am very amazed at poeple who come out there and pretend to be making the art they are selling. I walked around and found a few artist that had work that I can get at home from one of my suppliers. I couldnt believe someone would have the guts to do that.

Toni, your work is lovely, especially that silver collar. What other shows in Florida will you be doing?

Hi Toni! I am new to this sight. Please offer any guidance...or suggestions. I don't have a websight. I began working with recycled metal five years ago for a store here in Des Moines, but I recently went off on my own and do not have my own websight yet. I've been swamped increasing my inventory and doing custom work so I haven't had time. I do tables, mirrors and wall art out of salvaged copper. I'm trying to get into the art show loop. I just got accepted to my first one!! What is your websight? I am going to attempt to attach some pictures...otherwise you can find me at Kelli Worth Designs on Facebook...under groups.
