SNAP Photos from Show

Check out this little feature by SNAP South Mississauga from the Port Credit Outdoor Art Show.  A photo from my booth is included! 

Show Photos

I'm back with more! Here's a pair of photos of my set-up from the show, one in the dry and one following a bit of rain.  Saturday, though mostly dry, did have a few short but heavy rain showers. 

 

This is a couple of pictures of booths near mine, shortly after a short rain. 

So, about those interesting people - one of those who stood out was a guy who mentioned he's a naturalist.  His attention was drawn to my machine embroidered butterflies, as he was among several people who thought from a bit of a distance that they were real specimens and wanted a better look.  We had a really neat conversation about bugs, nature, conservation, educating people, fear of certain animals, etc. 

The overall feedback on these was really fantastic.  A member of the Mississauga Stitchery Guild was visiting the show and stopped by my booth.  She was so impressed, she has asked me to come to a Guild meeting sometime to show them and possibly do a demonstration on the techniques! 

Another great experience in the show was a photographer for SNAP Mississauga came by and took my photo with some of my work.  I'll have to check in a little bit to see if anything from that gets printed.

I love coffee

Good day to you!  I don't know where to start!
Saw some other artists I met at previous years' shows, and I met some really lovely and interesting people during the show this time around. 

A couple of interesting artists from the show: Carlo Allion, and Skye Jarvis. 

I also had a nice chat with two lovely girls who make some really unusual jewellery, Tara and Courtney of Slashpile Designs.  A couple of their specialties are a phobias inspired line, and a line of chemical molecules. 

I've got to take a break but I've got lots more to tell you all later.

Tired!

I am tired out.  The Port Credit Art Show is wrapped up now, and I will be sharing some of the experience over my next couple of posts.  All that will have to wait though while I take a little time to relax and recharge.

Thursday

I've got a show to do this weekend, so I probably won't be blogging for 2-3 days.   I'm a bit brain fried at the moment but looking forward to it too.
