Before the Show
Next Thursday I will be on the road again heading down (or is it up?) to San Antonio for the Starving Artists Art Show held charitably by the Little Church of La Villita there on the riverwalk. It is a beautiful setting and I am hoping for good weather (one time we had a tornado warning and very high winds!)
Also, I may get to visit with an old friend from our San Francisco days (before Cec and I were married...that's a long time ago) who now lives in San Antonio. His brother Philip served in the Navy with Cecil and that is how we met Jeffrey. Both guys are dear to us and I haven't seen Jeff in many, many years so I am so looking forward to that. Plus I am hoping that he will lend his manly hands to helping us set up (even if he can't, I am anxious to see him.) Thinking back to the 'olden' days, we had some great times together and Jeff and Phil both have been to Phar Lepht at one time or another (Jeff even stayed here with us for a visit.)...so you can see, I am excited and looking forward to this trip. Also, the wildflowers should be riotous because of all the spring rains from here to there so the trip should be beautiful.
Here are some new pins I have been experimenting with. Tell me what you think:
Fringe Pin number one
Fringe Pin number two
Fringe Pin number three
My scans are crooked, not the pins!
Also got some new signage made for my booth (thanks Cecil!) and some new postcards and business cards done. We did them ourselves on the computer and cut and pasted the originals the old fashioned way but they turned out quite nicely. A lot cheaper than the commercial ones that you can get printed and that counts for a bunch when you are watching your pennies. Besides, they have that 'handmade' look and feel that I like.
Will be very busy in the studio for the next week so will update my journal when I return. Wish me luck!

a show, old friends and wildflowers - looks like you got a wonderful time ahead of you, soo.
and the pins are gorgeous - like dancers' skirts or flowing veils to decorate the chest. i really love your choice of colours.
have a great time and may the winds soothe down!

yes! absolutely. anemone's pinned the description to the silk shirt (as it were).
delicate beadwork with a rascally mind of its own. When a heart goes beat, beat, beat, the pin's gonna boogey.
Enjoy the show and the starving artists and your dear old San Antone friend.
pleasure to feast my eyes on your work, Soo

If things keep going the way they are going I won't be able to go with Noah to S.A. If I had my way I wouldn't miss it for the world, but I think my body has other plans for me.

Good luck with the shows... may your stuff sell like the proverbial hotcakes.
Lovely, SooZ! Beautiful work! You are so talented! It's Thursday already, so I guess I'm a little late to wish you the best for the show, but I hope it was a smashing success!
