Successful Art Show!

Last night's Art Walk was a great success. I sold a couple of pieces of mosaic artwork and, best of all, I got to spend some time relaxing and enjoying the company of some great people. I'd been working hard lately to get a bunch of work done in time for the Art Walk, so having some time to just hang out was a great change of pace.

I especially enjoyed talking with one of the other volunteers at The Rose House who is a life coach and energy worker. I have a lot of great stuff to learn from her, and I'm looking forward to seeing her at future events.

The pieces that sold were some of the simpler, less expensive ones. I remember from my first art sale (at the Edmonds Sculptors Studio during Mother's Day Weekend 2009), this was also the case. People really seem to like things like a mosaic shaped like a cat or a fish. Usually I just apply mosaic to things that I randomly find at thrift stores, garage sales and the like--but I think I may start cutting out some fun shapes with my scroll saw.

I also took a few minutes during last night's Art Walk to drop in at the Francis Anderson Center where I had some handmade tiles on exhibit as part of the Edmonds Sculptors Studio transportation-themed show. I've been too busy grouting my mosaics lately to have much time to be at the studio, so it was great to see everybody! I made a series of tiles for that show that I called "Heritage." Each tile shows a form of transportation used either by me or by my ancestors.
