Do I know how to write an eye-catching post title or what? But it's the truth - I'm consumed by an upcoming event that it going to make me feel very exposed. There's a really cool vintage antique show twice a year for the last few years called "Roses and Rust" that's in my hometown, and I always go. It's getting to be pretty big-time, I see it written up in magazines quite often now. There's always wonderful vintage goodies, and I've gotten a lot of my bits and pieces I use in my art there. So I've been thinking for a while that if all the people going to this event love vintage, rusty types of things, wouldn't they maybe like art made with vintage rusty things?
So I finally screwed up my courage and sent in a vendor application along with pictures of my art, and was accepted. It's coming up in October, so for a while now my head has been spinning with what to make, how on earth to price items, how to display them etc. And the biggie - what on earth will I do with all this art if nobody buys it? I look at my dusty art journals and wonder if I should just be safely, happily working in them instead. But of course my answer to myself is I'll never know unless I try, and I guess at worst my friends and family will be getting art for Christmas and Birthdays for some time to come...
This is my most recent creation - I think I'm through with my brief Rooster phase now...
At the top is my favorite section of ruler, from an old extendable one, that I've been holding on to for a long time, it was hard to let it go...
