I've scheduled another Bronzclay class to be held at the Bead Parlor, 318 N. Main St., in Bloomington. Yesterday, I saw that it is already Sold Out! I'll need to talk with Jeff, the Bead Dude, to schedule another later on.
I have so far only sent in one application for entering an art fair for 2012...Spring Bloom, which is being held in late April, at the Interstate Center on the west side of Bloomington. It probably will be a nicer venue than the old Sale barn, but marginally. I was hoping and had heard that it would be at the downtown Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts. That would be a great spot for an Art Fair!
I was disappointed when picking up the pieces I had taken to the Decatur Madden Arts Center Christmas event through December...nothing sold:(- The woman giving me my items back thought they were too high priced. Although she only looked at the sheet listing the items...she did not look at the items! Last time for that event for sure.
I have sold several things at the McLean County Arts Center this past month, so there's hope. Then in December, The Garlic Press, an outstanding eclectic store in downtown Normal, purchased many items from me for their shop. They are always busy...but at that time, I was showing my things while they were busily wrapping gifts to be sent out. Talk about multi-tasking!
I have not had any sales at this time on the new Artfire shop, one month later. I have a display ad coming up in a couple of weeks, maybe that will bring attention to it. Please take a look.......
