ok this is good. really reeeeeally good.
:):):)!!!
The Scope fair went superwell- way waaay beyond my expectations. Sure I had hopes...but...WOW. THis is so...wow!
*eyes wide*
And now there's ArtMiami coming up.And people from Scope will be going to that... And I'll have work at two gallery booths...so maybe..?!!?!This is just unlike anything I've ever dealt with before.... it's great.!Winter is usually such a dead time. I hermit/hibernate....and ration off the money I saved from working full-time all summer and fall. THis was my first year of full-time artist...and I did it!!
And now....I really think...if I can keep it up...if I can make those pieces I have sketched out..if I can figure out a way to work with resin during the cold months...and we participate in more fairs...this could be the year. To make that jump from barely scraping by to making a good living and having savings, towards a house and such? Imagine?
YES. I can imagine. I will not fear success. I will welcome success. And the more successful I become,the more I am able to help others. 10% forever and ever.

thank ya, sweets! I don't think I'm quite famous yet- but hey ya never know. It certainly is a lot of people who would never have seen my work before!I think part of the success was that they were small 'collectible candy-like' pieces...And I think in that atmosphere they were easy to snatch up. But I'm so excited about it. Helps motivate me in an otherwise slow/slump time.
