My first jewelry & mixed media show in Albuquerque! It was at Mama's Minerals, right next to the Albuquerque Arts Alliance gallery where I was in that Chinese Splash Ink show. I should post pictures of my paintings some day...Mama's Minerals is great, a fun place to shop and they were very good at organizing the event. The weather was terrible though, so everyone had slow sales. Windy, cold, scary clouds. We made a run for it just after 3pm and we were one of the last vendors standing.
I was thrilled to sell some of my mixed media stuff - a sun magnet and "La Rosa" which I hand painted and then "glazed" with wine! Mimbres Red from the St. Clair winery in Las Cruces to be exact. I'd had wine one night and the next morning the wine in the bottom of the glass was a gorgeous deep red/clear gel - I just knew I had to drip it on something! (And yes, I did leave a dirty glass out all night. And now I've proven that cleaning is detrimental to creativity.)I also sold a few jewelry pieces, nothing major. Weather, gas, stock market... people don't want to buy. Hopefully as Christmas gets closer it will pick up. Strangely, the Farmer's Market in Socorro has been excellent for me. Go figure.
Here are some more pictures of my table at the show:
