What are the best things about art fairs
Meeting new friend: fellow artists and collectors.
Best show ever and why
I have had so many best shows that I can't pick just one.
Worst show ever and why
I had many bad shows when I started out, especially the Mall Shows. But, I paid my dues and learned from all of the shows, both good and bad. Even a bad show can be fun when you meet new people and learn new things.
Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.

What is one fun fact about yourself?
I can't think of any fun facts about myself! I must be very boring!

Hi Judy,
I just wanted to tell you about Susan Zimmerman who is also a cloth dollmaker and has just joined AFI also. Go to the members page and look for her near the top...you two need to communicate.
Hi Judy -- are you still making dolls? Do you know Cassandra Graham? She is from Ohio and has been a doll maker for a long time, but she's been playing with/exploring heavily embellished jewelry lately. Also, Luisa Fredericy is on this site -- amazing work. See if you can find her. AND welcome ...
Oh, you're so welcome, Judy. I have a Jane Austen "action figure" that a friend bought me a few years ago for a laugh and as part of her bio, it states that her weapon of choice is character assassination...I love that. I also have a good friend who used to be part of our knitting group, The Knitwits, who was also a dollmaker. We loved it when she would bring her latest creation to show us...how did you get started in that medium?
