This weekend, John and I worked the booth at the Tallahassee Pride Festival. Nice: running into old friends (15 years ago...) that now have kids!! and remembering that Tallahassee has a liberal side. Not-so-nice: Clearing $107 for a day's work, in the blazing sun and then pouring rain.
So...does art pay? It wasn't an "art" festival - so maybe folks weren't prepared to buy. (I have to say, it's the first time I've ever shared space with church groups!) Lots of positive comments, lots of interest, not so many sales.
Then it takes me the rest of the weekend to recover. Hours of standing on pavement, hours of preparation, pinch-hitting for the products that didn't arrive (where IS that velcro shipment??), etc.
Next: E-bay store?

About Me
- Cheryl Sattler
- I began working in glass after giving myself a lampworking class for my birthday in 1999. I was hooked! But beadwork takes a LONG time for a very very tiny piece of work - and a good set of wrists. Nobody would ever accuse me of having *extra* patience, and I've had bouts of carpal tunnel syndrome, so I got big - fast. I bought my first kiln in 2001, I think - the one I now call the "test kiln." The studio now has 4 - the vitrigraph kiln, the test kiln, the bathtub, and the coffin kiln. That's just fuser slang for a big rectangle kiln that - well, yes, it could fit a body. Mwahahaha. Now I'd like to get serious - I have been in shows, and have sold here and there, but it's time to take it to the next level.
