What Do You Want To See Allover Art Create?

If you're an artist or artisan and you've never done an art and craft show, you should really try doing one! This past weekend I had a booth at Artsplosure 2009 in downtown Raleigh. Here's a big THANK YOU to all of you who stopped by to say 'hi'. :) The show was a HUGE success for me; well at least on Saturday. Sunday it was rainy, windy, and cold and after a few hours Indie and I packed up and left. About 2/3 of the other artists there did the same; it was miserable. Indie actually came along on Sunday and had a great time at his first show until we both started shivering.


Saturday at the show was PACKED even though there were four sudden downpours. I apologize again to the woman who got soaked when a breeze dumped the water that had pooled on my awning square in her face. I sold half my inventory and now have a large number of custom orders to complete. My Etsy shop is looking a little depleted and sad with so many listings gone.


Allover Art needs your help! Since half of my inventory found new homes on Saturday, I'm working like mad to build it back up, and I want to hear what you want. What do you want to see Allover Art create? I'll be creating the usual items - rings, pendants, brooches, bobby pins, and now earrings - but I want to know what colors you want to see, what designs, what subjects, what words? Let me have it! :) I value your opinion.

Well I already told you how badly I want a tropical tree frog pendant! So I would like to see frogs, more turtles, possibly a lizard or 2! Color wise, some darker purples, and bright reds.

Congrats on your success at the art show. I have thought about doing an art show, I just have never gotten around to doing it.
