Hello everybody
My name is Iryna
Thank you for accepting me.
I am making bead embroidered jewelry.
I had my first art show in June and having another one in September.
I hope to find a lot of tips here

Welcome (again) and thanks for reaching out in this format, it really helps you to become acquainted with your fellow artists on the site and for them to get to know a little about you as well. Plenty of good discussions and information to help you get started...where were / are the shows you're doing and how did it go?
Okay, thanks. Have you had a chance to navigate your way around the site yet? There are posts concerning booth shots, jury submission, etc. that might be helpful. I'm not qualified in that regard but there are many here who are so dive in and learn from the pros. Best of luck to you!
My wife and I are mixed media and we've been full timers longer than we should admit. But we love this business and if you love what you do, the money comes.
I see from your profile you're in NJ. We travel the 5 hours south to Chester, NJ twice a year for a show that we first started doing in 1984.
Welcome, Iryna. Glad to meet you here. This site is full of helpful information and folks. If whatever you want to know hasn't already been in a discussion, just ask and someone will more than likely help you along the way.
I am a picture frame designer and maker, carver, and gilder. My wife and I are partners in the biz. She does the paintings and I make fine frames for them. We have been professional artists since 1989 and been doing art fairs for 20 years.
I'm looking forward to seeing more from you here and someday at a show. WOOHOO!
