First show ever
I did a small show at a jewelry store. People seemed crazy about my wrapped stones. My photo charms sell well at dog shows.
What are the best things about art fairs
Meeting other people and money!
Best show ever and why
I just started selling last October (2009). Everything has been good so far. I just won a local ring-design contest, which was an easy $100. I was just accepted to demonstrate and sell at the giant Ohio State Fair. Financially, I hope it will be my best show ever. I've been a balloon sculptor for about 30 years. Wire sculpture just came naturally -- twisting long skinny things into shapes, whether balloons or wire.
Worst show ever and why
As a balloon sculpture, I always did a street fair in a small upscale town near here. I did it on the street without a booth. One year, it poured down raining for the whole show. I shivered for 6 hours in July.
