(Not really a representative image of the gallery, but I like it.)
Today I took the first step in what I’m sure will be many towards becoming a part of the art gallery system. Up until this point I have gotten by with craft fairs, farmer’s markets, and online sales but I feel like my work is to the point where it feels appropriate for it to be displayed in a gallery setting. So I just mailed off three boxes full of work to be sold on a consignment basis. The venue in question is the Bambi Project, located in Philadelphia, PA - a doubly excellent location since the city is the location of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
I sent a group of vases, jewelry trees, pendants, and a set of goblets, with the possibility of more work in the future. There’s not much else to say about this other than if you happen to live in the Philly area you should stop by, perhaps as early as this weekend (if the packages get there safely by then.)
I also have consigned some shot glasses and a jewelry tree or two with the Nebraska State Historical Society gift shops. This is the second attempt to consign work to a Nebraska themed store after a few pieces at the From Nebraska gift shop languished for months without selling. Fingers crossed.
In other, more trivial news the baby birds have grown up and flown away. This was inevitable I suppose. I see one or two of the young ‘uns around the property every now and then, still learning how to navigate with their newly found gift of flight. I also have the garden fully planted and should write a post about that whole operation; maybe once the plants grow a bit more.
