You could see them trying to decode what came from what... and everyone that came over wanted to touch and play with the necklaces to see what was on each side. Unfortunately... I don't think they understood it, even though I could tell they liked it.
I agree. I could tell they really liked it, but thought it was too hip for them. My friend's Yema Yema line they were definitely like...what the hell are these creatures. I must be too old to understand it. So anywho, it was super exciting to see people's eyes lit up. I brought my block art piece i made for MOCA GA and I could tell people were really really fascinated by it.
As much as I didn't like people grabbing and tossing it around, it kinda is the whole point of the piece. a Flexible art piece that is constantly changing so its a living art form in itself. I just loved how people would try and figure it out, but as soon as i told them the price they were like oh...and drop it, and then went back to the $20 necklaces. lol
If I get this job I'm interviewing for on Thursday I def will be applying for the Indie Craft Experience. It's a super steep $225 for not even a 10x10 booth, but a 5x6 booth space. Most expensive craft show, but I've heard great things about it. I'll just have to make like 100 necklaces to make it cost effective, which is fine with me.
I'll check out renegade, and I know there is one in Washington DC which is huge, but I'm not sure if Andy wants to tag all the way up there. I just wouldn't be able to run the booth by myself. I definitely need his help setting up the tent and stuff. Anywho...if anyone knows of local shows in your area, please let me know. I'm desperately trying to find a big show that's deadline I haven't already missed. You have to apply for most of these almost 6 months in advance. But any shows at this point will be great experience. I'm doing a "boot sale" this weekend in downtown duluth, so I except everyone to come say hi!
hehe I'll give more details lata.
Ok, so I know u are all dudes, and could care less about artsy stuff probably, BUT it's gonna be like 80 degrees this weekend, so I figured if some of you are heading to the lake, then you should def make a pit stop off HWY 441 in Dillard to say hi! 
hehe
