How did the Open House go?

Open House was such a pleasant day!

The weather cooperated, so Brenda Dehaan was able to get to our event and bring all her fabulous new work!! 

She also brought copies of her new book The Craft Fair Vendor Guidebook. 
You can find her book on amazon.com
https://www.amazon.com/Craft-Fair-Vendor-Guidebook-Inspire/dp/1973574772/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524847603&sr=8-1&keywords=the+craft+fair+vendor+guidebook 
So well laid out and she gives a LOT of information helping even the professional vendor participant with tips, making the experience even better!

Sharon Huizenga, (owner and photographer for the Platte Enterprise, our local newspaper) stopped in to snag a few pictures and she kindly included our event in this weeks edition.

Above is Brenda and I posing behind her new work and the book, and then I am behind the food table.  You can see quite a bit of work that is displayed in the gallery.

We had visitors from all over including many of our town business owners, who dropped in to give their regards!  ♥

All in all a really nice day!!

Thank you, EVERYONE who took time out of their day to come in, pay their respects, visit with Brenda, say hello, and browse all the fabulous new!  You are ALL so appreciated.

TIME

Updating my website isn't going so well.

There seems to be internal bugs or something.
My guru is also trying to "teach" me how to upload my changes, that isn't going so smooth either.

My focus is creating, and it is really hard for me to sit down and work on this computer stuff. I don't see how come it can't be as easy as this format is in blogging.

My goal is to have this updated site version operating so I can show class information at least by the spring...Ann has a different goal, she is thinking within a few weeks...well originally days. There was no way I can attack this process in days, so weeks it is.

The time just flies!
Already we are ending September.

A interesting thread on one of the art groups I read in Yahoo is talking about original work. I believe within the same thread, or maybe not, is a reference to artists coming into themselves at the 50ish age.
How a gathering of application and technique is "practiced" and honed to skill up to this point and then the imaginations and working fly.

Not in these words of course but that is the gist of what I get out of the reading.

I totally agree that around 50 people come into themselves and in having a better understanding of self are able to put forth a more creative uninhibited expression. The artwork reflects a quality of passion and imagination that wasn't reflected in the artwork prior.

I believe it takes this long to get to this place.

Patience is very important when creating. By this time, patience has been practiced enough that it has a perfection of its own and is utilized within the creative vibe.

Anyway, I think this was a good discussion and should be analyzed within, meditated on, and executed.
