Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals
Why do we bother to do shows? It's not the easiest route to take, or the most cost efficient. None of us are getting any younger, and the world is getting crazier every day.
So why do we do what we do?
This is a story of why I love to do shows, in spite of all the things I have to deal with.
I made this for you before I met you

Thanks for posting the link on Art Fair Insiders. This necklace was perfect for her right down to going with what she wore to the show that day. Thanks for encouraging us to do the designs we dream up even if we think no one will buy them. My husband keeps telling me to repeat the words from Mary Chapin Carpenter's song, "I take my chances every chance I get"! As I get older it is getting harder and harder to do shows especially when the financial reward keeps dwindling. There must be some other alternative to finding and meeting those special buyers. I'm trying to find it!
Indeed...
Thanks for your feedback, it is good to know I have contributed something meaningful , and that I am not alone.
Great article, Sandy! It's a lesson to all of us to reject negativity and believe in ourselves and our artistic vision. Thanks for sharing this delightful story and do continue listening to your inner voices / muse...your work is spectacular!
Right On.
