Prepping for a 'show' (Phelan Gardens,
Friday, Nov. 22nd, from 4-8PM) is like a small assembly line...anyone
who participates in the handmade community and does craft shows will
tell you exactly that. I have everything plotted out in my head. I have
bought frames, and pre-cut mattes, I have edited and printed almost 200
pics, 4x6 and 5x7's. I have glued and pressed 88 cards, to add to, and
fill in my inventory. Today I will finish the gluing and pressing part
of the program (about 50 more cards), and move on to signing, dating,
labeling and stuffing. After that, matting and framing, which is
actually easier than making the cards!! There are still some
'stragglers', if you will, the second, third and fourth round of
decisions. I am so pleased with how the pics have come out! I have some
new pieces, mixed in w/ the stand-by's, however, I have new edits on
some of the 'older' pics and they are popping, they are enhanced, they
have a brighter look. It has been so good to see everything w/ a
fresh eye, a Colorado eye. I am even more pleased to be
back @ the drawing board! So, here's to good weather on the night of the
22nd, and a successful 'first' show in Colorado!!!
