So true and good marketing.

You are right, being a people person is key to a successful show.<br /><br />Nancy, I have found so many different ways to use the encaustic medium, it's so dynamic and quick, practicing in with it is the best way to learn.<br /><br />Thank you, Sherry!<br /><br />Mark, that is the best to hope for... that a patron falls in love with a piece, then nothing else matters.<br /><br />Don, usually I am not happy unless there is some of that icing! But doing this show is also incredible PR; sometimes I make new gallery contacts, or post show sales too. Time will tell :)<br /><br />I agree, Hallie, it was a success, and definitely found that "feng shui" feeling!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-73872951094071124322011-03-22T18:21:33.320-04:002011-03-22T18:21:33.320-04:00I'd declare the show a success and celebrate. ...I'd declare the show a success and celebrate. Looks like your booth left space for the chi to flow; and the small pieces on the floor brought people in for a closer look.

I always figured that if you 'pay the rent' it was a successful show. Anything more than that is icing...<br /><br />-Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-87982810803064360292011-03-22T05:44:55.954-04:002011-03-22T05:44:55.954-04:00Welcome back!

I must say, I have a newfound respect for that medium and how well you handle it. I found it very frustrating. Of course, they had only a few colors to play with and I wanted a full range but I don't really think that would have made any difference. My experiment looked like it was done by a first grader which would have been fine if I were 48 years younger. : ) Keep up the good work!Nancy Goldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957674798737272474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-81822324336642911392011-03-21T18:17:49.845-04:002011-03-21T18:17:49.845-04:00Your booth is gorgeous!
