Middleton Park, OKI, NC
I plan to be there 6/16, 6/23, 7/7, and 7/21. Somewhat weather dependent. I'm only doing a select few markets this summer and only in OKI.
Middleton Park, OKI, NC
So... I have to admit I that this is a lighter year for me in terms of evets and whatnot. And while I haven't been focused on my usual types of projects (though I did make several new skirts and a table), I have undertaken a project that has taken up a lot of time so far! I have been focused on my dad's work and keeping it alive. Now, I'm not famous (nor was my dad) so the ways that I can get his work out there are limited to the same ways I get my own work out there. My dad was a poet and a bird photographer...So, what I have done so far is to paint hundreds of tiny NC birds as realistically as I could. I have made my own paper (this is the step I am still on). I dried hundreds of flowers and pressed 100s of sheets so far. I turned several of my dad's bird photos into line drawings with photo editing software (or as close as I could get to that)...and the plan is to take his poems and all of these little things I have made and combine them --the way I will do this is still not completely clear--and then add them as extras to my little suncatchers. So I have not really made anything that will make money , but I think/hope what I have done (or will do) is get people to read these poems. I think separating them into little snippets and well, adding a lot of visual elements, plus adding them to the item I sell the most quantity of will make this happen. Death has taken my dad from me, but I still have all his work and one of the very few things I can do for him anymore is to keep his work alive and get him a bigger audience. It will be limited by the size of my audience, which as you might guess is not huge, but it's an audience. Anyway, that's been my major project and it goes on and on and on. Hopefully, you will see what I've done at summer markets. If online at all makes sense, I will put them there, too, but they are cheaper than their shipping price, so I don't know if that's a great idea. I have been neglecting my online shop, but ideally, I am at least getting the new skirts up soon!
